Or our 9800 members, 338 claim to be from Ireland and another 136 are from Norn Iron.
Would be interesting to see if willks your reputed gift of the gab skews the post count...

Barrowboy and Garfie are taking the p1ss. I don't understand your membership figures? I accept that I appear to have had carnal knowledge of the Blarney stone...

3.4% of our members list their country as "Ireland" therefore you might expect 3.4% of posts to be people from Ireland. I suspect you skew this!

Well seems like it's time for some recruiting this side of the Irish Sea it is 2016 after all

.
Colin if you are ever coming up towards Waterford city area hit me up. I live in Passage East. I am actually going to look at a few boats in cork Sunday and Monday.

I was raised there (Norn Iron) and speak the lingo... does that count?

Afraid now I'm land locked in England, 60 miles from the sea (which is about as far as you can get from the sea in Ireland), and have to continually repeat myself after several pints of the black stuff...

Hi Just checking in from Cork,boat less at the moment but still lurking away until I have something to say.

Colin D · 08 January 2016, 22:35

I do a lot of travelling in my chosen profession . No problem I will touch base next time im up your way.What takes your fancy in Cork and where are you travelling to. Im actually collecting some boating merchandise in Waterford myself lunch time Sunday.

idsebby · 08 January 2016, 23:56

Ribliam I am in your same boat.. That being with out a boat.

Colin I was actually going to go pick up a boat in black rock cork area. My jeep however is still in the body shop and I won't be getting it back till Monday grrrr. Going to look at a 4.5m chinook Sib for a restoration project don't have a ton of cash so just getting something cheap and cheerful hopefully. Don't mind doing my own scrubbing and patching. What are you picking up in Waterford? If you need something checked out before driving up here let me know. I hate driving hours just to look at trash!

Im after buying a new Suzuki Df 80 from a friend of mine and Waterford in convenient for us to meet up .I have spotless 2013 Suzuki df 60 lean burn with 130 hours going on the market tomorrow.

idsebby · 09 January 2016, 13:02

Well it would be about a dream motor for the boat I am looking at. But currently my dreams are only as big as my pocket book. Buying the motor would probably be my whole budget. But if your feeling very philanthropic hit me up.

Colin D · 09 January 2016, 13:23

All of a sudden .I lost my broadband.

idsebby · 09 January 2016, 13:31

hahahah

Colin D · 09 January 2016, 13:45

There will be a Suzuki df 40 on Donedeal next week .price?

idsebby · 10 January 2016, 21:23

Possibly we should start a thread for Irish classifieds. Always seeing every thing selling in the uk. Sure would rather trust the guys on here before some random person. what do you guys think?

I think that we have DoneDeal.ie if we're feeling particularly xenophobic (Mr. California!) and that some* of these random persons are my f2f friends - so get in ####### the sea!

* Obviously some of them are chancy English Barstewards, but no-one is perfect.
