Meeting the Irish

I've always thought that having lovely mad Irish Liza as a flatmate gave me an understanding of what the Irish are like.

I now know that I've been very wrong believing this.

This afternoon Ireland are playing Scotland in a Rugby match here in Edinburgh. Since it is being said that it is more than likely that Ireland will beat Scotland, the Irish have swarmed in and taken over the city.

I went out last night with Liza and a few other Irish friends of hers. It started off great, it was all so lively with laughs and the like. We then decided it was time to get out and meet people, so we ended up at an Irish bar swarming with irish fans. It was totally mad in all senses in an exciting sort of way. Many times I had to take a step back and just observe the people I was around. They were all loud and jolly, with big smiles and great laughs. It must be great being Irish and living with such people.

I've never seen the city so full of people either, except for New year. There was a spirit to the evening, and the fact that it was raining and we got soaked through only added to the exciting madness of the night.

Talk about the maddest night ever, i've just had mine!
