As for Whisky, Bushmills (and Jameson) are sold by the case here. We can even purchase good whisky like Ardbeg and Lagavullin. I can't speak to the quality of the sherries available here, but then, does that really matter?

Even as a northern rube, I have had occasion to visit Albuquerque. While it is not my favorite city in the U.S.A., it ain't bad, and has good access to some great country. New Mexico is a fabulous state. I never tire of the mountains there. I've spent more time in Taos and Santa Fe, and can easily see settling in one of those towns. Frankly I'm a bit confused by the negativity being expressed toward the "Land of Enchantment" and suspect a ruse. Just between you and me, I constantly tell people horror stories about Wyoming...just to deter them from visiting or moving here. I suspect the same is going on here. (Part of the reason I'm so willing to talk up New Mexico is because I don't want you moving here. Sorry, nothing personal.)

Slainte,

Thanks for all the replies

@Nix thanks for the slap I was being a little lazy. but then I have a lot to do before the shipping company get here.

I'm sort of astonished by the negative reponses but I guess this is normal, I'd discourage anyone from moving to Dublin - but if you did you'd probably love it.

In the summer your gonna die of the heat and in the winter freeze your butt off.

Err, oddly a summer peak average of 90°F doesn't worry me (hotter in Spain last year on holiday), neither does an average low of 23°F (we hit 3°F here in Dublin last year)

Bears seem to be a problem all over, can't speak about mountain cats. @thebigspendur I'm wondering why you stay

Thanks all
