Not entirely mate, hence the "tongue in cheek" reference.

Awesome place, Lovely People, Excellent Weather, Good Infrastructure & More Professional opportunities.
Glad to hear you love my country so much. You're right, compared to Ireland there is good infrastructure and also possibly more professional opportunities, depending on your profession, of course. But lovely people? Ok, perhaps depends on who you meet and where / how you meet them. Excellent weather? Come on now, I
know you're joking on that one..

Do you know how many shootings happen there in limerick & Dublin ?
Do u know the drug and drink scene there ?
Agreed, parts of Dublin and Limerick are notoriously "rough", shall we say. But I don't think anyone can honestly say that they truly believe Ireland, in general, to be more violent than the UK, in general.

I'd agree with that. Nowhere, really, is without it's share of scum nowadays.

That's interesting. I suppose it depends on where exactly you've come from and to. As someone born and bred in England, but now living in Ireland, my opinion is that I feel that Ireland is
generally a safer country than the UK.

Makes for interesting reading, thanks.
Meanwhile.. I'm getting more and more interested in Gibraltar, thanks to cantaro

. From what I've read so far, trawling the net, a good idea is to rent an apartment in La Linea, Spain for as little as €330 (in
late 2005 at least, according to a post on that thread), and walk across to Gibraltar daily, which takes around 20 minutes (allegedly). And to my luck, Gibraltar appears to have a reasonable number of contact centre / online support centre jobs - and they require native English speakers! At least, that's what I found on a few recruitment websites.
Anyway, it's early days and I'm still researching. Thanks again for all your input guys.
