This takes the biscuit. Is it Ireland?

Have stumbled upon this description of Ireland online....

Ireland is a place apart from all others. It is a land of simple charms - of leprechauns and jaunting carts, castles and pubs, harps and poets. It is a land of quaint villages, narrow roads with signs sometimes only in Gaelic. Its people go about their day with a quiet prayer in the heart and a warmth for all around them. Ireland is a country where a traffic jam is usually with sheep and the worst of weather is often Irish mist. Come to Ireland and explore a land far from home but close to the heart.

Does anyone recognise Ireland there? Should the writer of these lines of fantasy be sued under the Trade Description Act?
I now understand the 'why' of some questions.

Romantic Ireland is dead and gone
It's with O'Leary in the grave.

" Takes the Biscuit "
Ye must be joking...... It takes the whole of Bleedin Jacobs

"Its people go about their day with a quiet prayer in the heart and a warmth for all around them." Brilliant. It's like something out of the Simpsons.

Don't worry, magidge...come to Manchester but stay away from Moss Side, where they all like to kill each other or Salford where you'll be dragged in to have a chat with the neighbours...just like 'Corrie'. It's amazing how people still tend to use old prose to get people over. Old partner lives in Belfast, and I went over to see him early this year...when Protestant willies were stirring up and killing - but the plane brochure made it seem almost like Madrid!

Haha savage! I'm off there on my holidays next!
Ohhh wait, I live here.

Seriously if Ireland was like that, I dunno. It would be different anyway to say the least. That has to be thee worst description of Ireland I have ever read! 'a traffic jam is usually with sheep' , we wish!

Takes the biscuit? I agree with the answerer above me!


Christine
sounds like Dublin city on a Saturday night. :P

It takes a bit of the biscuit.

But it does not take all of the biscuit.
Ireland is a big biscuit.

In relation to the rest of your question:

I get what you mean but a nice description of wee Ireland non the less.

Have a look here for a good site on Ireland:

http://www.europe-travelguides.com/category/ireland


Does it ring a bell?


Lol

P.S- Darn those Robot Leprechauns. There is many a question on robot leprechauns on the net these days.

Shure Irish are legends in writing.

Don’t you think?

Lol

Hope this answer helped

Obviously written by some eejit who has never been here.

That is quite a description for a country in the 21st century. It sounds like something from the 1900's and not from today. If that was true how would we all be using the internet? It certainly takes the biscuit, in fact it takes the entire packet. Just did a search on Google maps thinking the site was located in America but it came back as being located in a place called Clooncannon which is not too far away from Athlone, OMG? I see we have a Southpark aswell in this country that will go well with Springfield in Northern Ireland.

Shure isnt that what i see when i look out the window of me wee Cavan tigĂ­n.

Blimey I want to go there..Oh that's Right I am here..you'd not recognize the place..


Like a Fox
It takes the bicky alright.
That's on a travel site? haha

This in particular "Ireland is a country where a traffic jam is usually with sheep and the worst of weather is often Irish mist" just made me split myself.


boofuswoolie
Just sing me TOORALOORA


ilovetwirls
If it keeps the tourists coming then great ..we need all the revenue we can get. Personally if i was a tourist visiting Ireland after reading that I would be fairly shocked. Carts maybe ...of the tinker variety and there are more Damo's and Jacinta's that poets


Patricia
That description is pretty close to the Ireland I remember on a visit to my Gran's 30 years ago.

The traffic jams were cows and the boys were the poets. We didn't encounter any wee folk, unless they cavort with the banshee. An uncle had us convinced if we stopped on the road to give a lift to anyone it could be the banshee, which was on the loose in Carrick, where we were headed. Scared for our lives, we saw banshees the whole way there.

He's 90 years old and still telling that story. Ahhh to be 20 years old again.

Well it's not far off the west haha


Trust me I'm a Doctor ♥
It certainly explains a few of the typical American "what do you guys do all day" and "are there cars in Ireland" type questions lol
