And what'll be attracting you to the pub, Les? The Smithwick's or the Miller?[/quote:h5fqb0gq]

<!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> we've got to get settled in Ireland first. Then she has to learn to drive and pass her test. Hopefully by then we'd be able to buy a car... So what I'm saying is don't hold your breath. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

As an immigrant myself, allow me to pass on Weird Things About Living in Ireland No. 472: You don't have to pass a driving test to be allowed drive on your own in Ireland. As long as you've failed [i:rw3ja0dv]twice[/i:rw3ja0dv], the road is yours. Most Irish drivers I know bought a car first, then learned to drive.
