Virtually nothing of Irish affairs is published in the UK. Offhand I couldn't even tell you the name of the Irish president, and I suspect the vast majority of Brits would be the same. Maybe it's generally the case with a smaller neighbour next door?

Well I know that Hollande took over from Sarkozy in France.
I know Angela Merkel is in charge of Germany for now - but no idea if she's likely to win the coming elections.
Italy? They tend to change leaders a lot don't they? But Berlusconi and Bunga-bunga seem to stick in the memory for some reason... :ohmy:

I couldn't name the current leaders of Holland, Belgium or Norway.

Hello everyone,

I'm just wondering if any of you guys have an experience of working and living in Gibraltar (or possibly living in Spain and working in Gib).
I'm a 30 years old girl, who just received a job offer in Gibraltar and considering making the move. It's a well paid job and I'm very tempted to do it. I also have an option to stay in South of France and not sure what to do at the moment. I'll obviously go and check out Gibraltar and surrounding areas in Spain before moving there, but visiting somewhere and living there is not the same thing.
Would be good to hear about anyone's experience in Gibraltar and if they're happy with where they are or not.
I'd be living there on my own (or in a shared accommodation). It's not too quiet for young people there, or is it?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I am of course talking about the Irish Republic.
Do you really think most Brits will know the name of the Irish leader or president, without looking it up? :zzz:

Ah, that clears that up.

I thought you were refering to events surrounding the IRISH REPUBLICan Army, Northern IRELAND, the Anglo-Irish agreement with Dublin, etc which only took up slightly less column inches than David Beckham's hairdos.
