Moving back to the states......

[Frank Gallagher]

Oh, we're a long way from making the decision.....well I am anyway. Personally I'd rather live in a cave in Ireland than a mansion in doodleville, but that's just me. But then again, I do love my wife so would rather  be unhappy myself than her.
 
 I've suggested other places, Italy, Spain etc. but she said an English speaking country is a must....I'm hoping if I hang on a couple more years that will count the USA out!!!

Menorca, nice and quiet island. English spoken there, I guess, taking into account the amount of foreigners living there.

I think deep down inside, Mankie loves the good ol' U.S of A, he will just never admit it to us.

It took you this long to figure that out?  

[brennser]

the cost of living and especially the price of houses here are making it very difficult to settle

sorry you guys are having a hard time settling back in but I can't say I'm surprised to hear this.....it routinely boggles my mind when friends tell me how much they are paying for houses (and this is from someone who's done well out of the DC housing boom), cars, gas, beer......basically everything

To be honest, I bet Mankie would be kicking his ass if he realized that if they waited about a half a year to a year longer to move that they could have probably gotten twice as much for the house they sold.
 
 Everything has skyrocketed here too except the average working stiff's salary.

You should move to California.

I would move to California but, appparently, there are way too many women.

Ah, yes, you were the lead defendant in the case: 9:30 fourmite vs. Florida weather
 (aka: "Sink or Swim" case)
 Nah, you won't leave. If you do, you'll be back in six months. Better off heading north!

So how much do we all have to chip in to keep Mankie in Ireland?

We should also throw in his vehement defense towards Baltimore. Or Sonick vs. the good citizens of the Greater Baltimore area re: the new slogan. He's found his niche in Baltimore and will stay here, do or die.
 
 Doubt he'll go north, it's too close to Canada. LOL. The only Canadian I've ever known who isn't a Canuckophile. (What would the proper word be?)

Unfortunately, that's NEVER happened.
