My how time flies

I've officially been a resident of Dublin Ireland for 70 days. I'm learning lots of new things (mainly project management blah!) and i'm really enjoying my time so far. The cold weather is starting to set in and it's really starting to feel like winter. Next week we turn the clocks back so it will really be dark by the time i get home. It will be nice to light a fire in the fireplace, maybe i'll have to go cut myself some peat. I'm also learning I can do without a lot of things, how unfashionable I am and that public transportation is either completely awesome or completely horrible.

And of course I'm learning new vocab!

I hear some of these words daily and am finally starting to incorperate some of them into my own speech.

Culchie: a country person
Deadly: very cool
Fair play: well done!
Fry: fried breakfast (sausage, bacon, eggs and black/white pudding)
Jaysus: Jesus
Knackers: basically white gangsters usually young boys
Muppet: fool, idiot
Snogging: making out
Wrecked me head / headwrecker: makes me mad or someone who makes me mad/frustrated
yer one: a girl your talking about
yer man: a guy your talking about
