There are two types of people in this world. Those that are Irish, and those that wish they were. :p


Wexford is a great beer. It's no Caffrey's, but since Caffrey's is no longer imported, it is the next best thing. (after Guinness of course)

The three most annoying type of people in this world: Welsh, Scottish, and Irish. In that order.

And I'm none of the three. Imagine that.

Actually, I should mention that Canadians and Americans that claim to be Welsh, Scottish, Irish, or English are FAR more annoying than the actual thing.

I'm not talking about people who say I'm <insert heritage>, but are actually <insert nationality>, I'm talking about people who's grandparents were English, and then whip out the St. George's Cross during World Cup.

You know, people who're English once every four years.

Couple years ago went on a date with an OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGSOHOT redhead Irish lass named Rhianna. She was quite a few years older than me and I made a complete fool out of myself on the date, but hey, I had a good time.
Of course you made a fool out of yourself, you are an Irish Lad and you were only doing what comes natural.

English, Scottish and Irish with a little German thrown in for aggresiveness

Must be some "old German", considering Germany recently...

You're a long way from Tipparary . . .

I lived in Dublin, Ireland at age 18-21, and it is not "all that" - alcoholism is so severe it is considered "normal". The social life is built around the pub; food is basic meat and potatoes. If you like that it is awesome; if not, not so ideal.

I did love Ireland since I was a drinker then . . . and it is a beautiful - if cold and rainy - country.

;)

I wouldnt call it cold. Rainy, yes, but generally its a nice, short rain that doesnt kill your entire day. Then again, I rarely need to wear pants during a northern ohio winter, I generally walk around in shorts, so it takes a lot for me to consider something "cold"
