If you read the article, he wanted to raise his family in his native Ireland and also to spend more time with his parents. Sounds like a well grounded fellow.

How do you block a bot/user? I’m using wefwef and can’t figure it out.

Thank you! I’ll just block them on the web since I’m not finding it on the app.

My cousins spent 2 years on a military base and got an English accent and I thought it was the coolest thing, but then they lost it within a year of moving back to the states. Now they just sound generic American. Sad.

Sometimes I get the feeling the Irish don’t like us 🤔

They'll only get a posh accent if you send them to a fancy school. So it's up to him.

No, that was the IRA and that's all in the past, thank you very much.

I want to block the bot but the content is so sparse I'm not sure I should.

Mildly ironic for someone who made their fortune doing foreign accents not to want their children to have a foreign accent.

that's literally what acting is though, that's a bit disingenuous man...
