Just don't ask us if we know your mother's second cousin twice removed on your father's side who had a goldfish that came from IrelandMr Metzger said:
The amount of times we get that from tourists...lol, kidding
It's good to hear from the diaspora.Anyway, I'm from Rebel Cork and damn proud to be Irish.
I like pretending I'm Irish. I drink car bombs and talk weird on St. Patty's day and live in Somerville
Caps lock necessary damn thats necessary...anyway i love whisky especially jamersons so smooth but i stand by the fact that your air is killing you from the inside...poor irish didnt see it coming *tsuk tsuk*UberLemonBoy said:
Born in Adelaide, both parents from Dublin. And I love Guinness. Oh, yes I do. I am wearing Guinness socks at the moment, and I will probably be drinking Guinness later.

I'm not promoting a stereotype at all...

unless your mother was actually born in and raised in Ireland, that really doesn't sound like properly half-Irish...Canid117 said:
But I see what you're getting at.
And we really hate that stereotype man.
Least I do...
I'm Irish, but can't say I'm a huge fan of whiskey.
I wish I was Irish. I'd love to be able to see the countryside of Ireland. I'd be willing to bet it's beautiful. Also, I want to learn Gaelic.
Well she was born and raised in the states but I believe both of her parents were Irish immigrants who came here as children. Genetically speaking I am half Irish, but culturally speaking I am thoroughly an American.Boba Frag said:
The English are the ones who have historically kept the Irish down so... I don't know I am not really Irish... I shall let the angry northerners decide.SnootyEnglishman said:
fixed for you : )UberLemonBoy said:
Ha! Good luck! I had roughly ten years of it in school and I still struggle with Irish.Macgyvercas said:
The countryside is fantastic- in the summer. Our towns and cities tend to be looked down on by practically every foreigner I meet, and with good reason sometimes.
You're more than welcome to visit here, but do some homework before you come here.
My advice is to visit the South West and West of Ireland if your romanticised version is that dear to you and you just want to see some breath-taking scenery.
Heh... reminds me of going to a pub around these parts that used to have a rep for catering to the 'more irish than the irish' wannabes and ordering a pint of black and tan. Couple of the punters almost shat a brick but didn't say dick to me. Fucking pussies, all shirt no trousers.LaochEire said:
It's called Irish! or Gaelighe! Get it right! And 15 odd years of Irish in school did me no good so good luck learning a language spoken by a fraction of the population. (Who will criticize you endlessly for not speaking it right) I'm a Dub, I moved up from the South about 6 years ago and I am proud enough to be Irish I suppose. I mean my parents fucked here, I was spawned here so I'm Irish. It's a fine enough country I suppose. Visit places around Galway or Cork and Kilkenny is nice. But don't expect people to be nice if you say you have Irish heritage. A lot of us are not sentimental about things like that. We're a decent enough bunch as long as you sit down, shut up and eat whats given to you.Macgyvercas said:
Why be proud to be Irish when you can be proud to be British at the same time, its all the same!

Both my mothers side and my fathers side are Irish, and so I have Irish blood in me. Unfortunately I was raised in England, so I haven't had the true Irish experience.
Although both sides of my family are very proud of their heritage, I've gone to Ireland nearly once a year every year for a few weeks, and when we have get togethers its like having a party in Ireland.
Have to tell you, best part of Irish blood are the weddings. NOONE throws a better wedding than the Irish.
