Down South

Many people living in Northern Ireland refer to places across the Irish border as " down South." Ireland consists of thirty two counties. Northern Ireland is known as The Six Counties and the remaining twenty six counties are now known as Ireland. People who do not live in one of the thirty two counties of Ireland have difficulty understanding the Irish situation.

When the new International Rugby season commences many people from Northern Ireland head Down South to Dublin to watch the matches at Lansdowne Road.

World Cup

World Cup .. what's that? I know it has something to do with football.

English people know all about the World Cup. Their press will tell you how well the English team will do, their fans .. every Englishman throughout the World cheer their team onward but to no avail. Only once, since the World Cup competition began, has it been won by England. In case you need to be reminded that was in 1966. This year they were beaten by Portugal. Prior to that defeat they were beaten 1 - 0 in Belfast by Northern Ireland.

"My time"

"My time" is an expression used by divorced, separated or widowed women who have grown up children. They are now looking for a male companion either for friendship or a long term romance

The profile of a woman who uses the phrase "My time" tends to read as follows - "My children are all grown up. Several are married. I have lovely grandchildren. I live on my own. My children are scattered around the world so unless I visit there is no call for me to babysit. I love travelling and regularly visit them to see the children and grandchildren. This is "My time" now and I would love to meet a man of my own of my own age. Let's have a meal in a quiet restaurant, a few glasses of wine, and see if we click. If we do we can arrange to meet again"
