I read it in Jason Statham’s voice.

I wonder how many kids still know what headphone cords are.

Keanu Reeves. Just the two of us, each on one end of the bench, enjoying a sandwich, and not talking but still content with each other’s company.

Free? That’s when your kids send your grandkids for you to take care of. Ungrateful bastards…

As one legend to another: Before the Ancestors, there were Legends. That’s what the 70’s kids are.

Don’t know a day-to-day equivalent, but in winter, taking of your ski shoes after a day of skiing is straight up orgasmic.

Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you’ll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won’t be long…

We have separate bathrooms, but I still have PTSD from the time I changed the skirting boards in hers.

This shouldn’t be a binary question, but a spectrum. And based on the answer you could guess the person’s age pretty accurately.

Why do women have smaller feet? So that they can stand closer to the kitchen sink.

But seriously: whoever is free, does the dishes. And we have the microwave rule: when the microwave is running, don’t stand around waiting, do something useful. Obviously, this is applicable not only to the microwave. So, cleaning the kitchen is an ongoing process, but thanks to that we never get to a stage where doing the dishes or cleaning the counter feels like a chore.

Funny enough, in some countries the Christmas presents are delivered by baby Jesus, and not Santa Claus.

One more week till Halloween. The next day the Christmas season starts, and I’ll gave the three TSO Christmas albums on loop.

Pringlius. Actually, the Aldi knockoff brand that tastes so much better.

From my personal experience, the 3rd spaces is a huge thing. I’ve met my wife in such a space, and pre-Covid I’ve run a large Meetup group that focused on safe socialization (dinners, cinemas, hiking, art events). I’ve seen countless of hookups and dozens of marriages within that group. Covid pretty much killed Meetup groups on our area, so when we want to socialize all that’s left are pubs and clubs, and there I only see single-gender groups with no overlap. I doubt anyone is getting laid, and even if they do, chances of a meaningful relationship before actually knowing each other’s likes and dislikes, and common interests, are minimal.

Bankrupt.

It’s the same nonsense as invoking “the luck of the Irish”. Said by people who have absolutely no idea about Irish history.

One of your grandparents had to be born in Ireland, not just obtained Irish citizenship later in life. If he was born in Ireland, you’ll need his original birth certificate. More info here.

That said, I have a few formerly US coworkers who did get Irish citizenship by naturalization. That requires life in Ireland for at least 5 out of the last 9 years. Studying doesn’t count, so you’ll either have your current employer transfer you here, or you’ll find a job and move here. Your employer will apply for a 2-year work visa, which can be extended for another 3 years, after which you can apply for permanent residency. If you are employed in one of the critical skills jobs, you can apply for permanent residency in less than 2 years.

Tennis and athletics (track & field). Both watch and play.

Freezer bags, 4 slices per bag, in a freezer. That way I can take out only as much bread as I can eat before it gets moldy.
