    i only ever liked to see them lose at soccer and that has decreased since I stopped reading their newspapers. I remember hearing on Atlantic 252 after Brazil knocked them out of the world cup in 2002(?) how they were professionals paid to win so why didn't they win. Priceless, even if you were going to believe in that silly logic the Brazil team combined would have been paid a lot more than the English one. saying that at the Olympics or something I like to see British athletes do well in the absence of Irish ones.

    Ooh, you're getting a bit defensive - pure, unbridled hatred much?

    C'mon, it's AH, he's just having a bait'n'goad.

    Seriously though, if anybody considered themselves 1% British (without blood relations), the vast majority of our miserable plebeian population would label them a turn-coat.

    A better question would be "Why are so many people so nationalistic when we've evolved beyond the need for it?".

    Just getting scientific for a moment, I'd imagine DNA taken from many Irish people would show similarities to DNA taken from white English people. Irish people and English people have been "intermingling" for many centuries.

    We are probably more "British" than we care to admit.

    Dont have a problem with most of them, like the Irish and other countries there are some good ones and bad ones :-)





    Never ask a foreigner where he is from. If he is not english he will tell you within a few minutes, and if he is English, why embarrass him ?

    Oliver Cromwell is misunderstood in history. He should really be liked in Ireland. If he didn't do what he did with the killing at Drogheda, people would admire him much more than they do.

    You just have to look at it from a historical point of view and understand these things happened back then. Cromwell actually give orders for his soldiers to not harm the country folk.

    Woww
    Come -on Keith it could be argued he was histories the first republican, now I have never seen any of your posts expressing a love of republicans.

    He committed regicide to assert the rule of parliament but then he became a king and such a tyrant that when he died people demanded the restoration of the monarchy.

    But yes the world was put on a path to true democracy.

    But Keith a republican, well I never.

    To answer the OP, id imagine many of the west-Brits on boards are very British, even though they were born here.

    Look up the history. Oliver Cromwell tried to over throw the Monarchy and many people should like him for that in Ireland. The problem comes with what he did during Drogheda. That is the main problem.

    But if he hadn't done that, he would probably be admired in some quarters.
