    I've not been to Ireland (yet) but most of my family has. My Mum said that Ireland and Scotland are quite similar but I was wondering how accurate that is?

    We feel a strong cultural affinity with the Irish in my part of the world being brought up predominantly Catholic and Gaelic-speaking.

    the people are very alike, ie valus and friendliness,


    the 1 stand out difference is Ireland is far cleaner than Scotland

    Very similar I think. Historical cultural links have bound the 2 countries quite closely.

    There's been a lot of advances in food production recently. You've missed out on it living in Spain.

    You might be right. I've not noticed much difference though.

    I think his use of the word "over" is best explained using an example:

    I was watching a film last night, where a man came all over a woman's *.

    Now, while we know the said * actually landed on the said female participant, it is customary practice to use the word over in this and similar situations. That is not to suggest chewing gum tastes like *, or vice versa (well maybe Mr Soft's). Hope this clears up any confusion.
