Crap I Prefer From Home

The opposite list is here.

If I were home in Ireland 🇮🇪, I would appreciate:

• A real dairy milk
• A 99
• Galaxy chocolate
• Blackcurrant Chewits
• Strawberry Chewits
• McCambridge’s brown bread
• Dairygold
• Tayto cheese and onion
• Chips from the chipper on The Kilbarrack Road
• Curry Chips too
• Oasis – The clothing store
• Vera Moda – The clothing store
• Lime Starburst – they’ve Cherry in The U.S. instead – they’re cherry-mad here 🤮
• Jelly Tots
• Smarties – smarties here are tiny sweets like those crappy necklace and watch sweets we used to eat as kids
• Walnut Whips
• Terry’s Chocolate Orange
• Club Rock Shandy
• Cidona
• “L” plates – babies do be driving cars here with no warning. I’m surprised we’re not all dead!
• HB ice-cream
• Day-cent plugs that you don’t think are going to explode any minute
• Easter eggs – way better than the shitty Easter candy here.
• The news on RTE 1. I can not handle the shite here.
• Milder winters
• Number of vacation days
• Lack of warmongering – but who knows how it would be if Ireland had 325 million people, apart from everyone having to stand all the time to fit on the island!
• No guns
• Not having The 45th president of The U.S. as its leader.
• Having Leo Vadarkar as Taoiseach – whatever one’s thoughts about his politics, it’s fantastic that a gay man with one non-white parent is leader. 10 or 20 years ago no one would have dreamed it possible in Holy Catholic Ireland
• Decent beer taps, and indeed draft beer
• The Irish language
• Music 🎶
• No stop signs 🛑 every feckin block – stop go stop go
• Irish humor – not that there isn’t any funny American shit
