Some French woman has a problem with The Irish

let's take the French and the German you hate so much

Actually, that'd be the English we hate so much. Remember the English: the same people every French person that I met in France seems to hate with a passion?

So, to your last comment, that everybody likes you when you are rich, let me tell you something. No matter what, Paddy, and don't forget it, no amount of money will hide the smell of dung which will always stick to your magnificent boots wherever you'll go.

You have to wonder what the husband works as?

A nationality is just an accident of birth, which means that when people say, for example: "I am proud of being Irish", it is an absurdity. We do nothing in order to have a nationality. And to be proud of something, you must achieve something, work at it, like when you succeed at your exams.

But for sure, I am very happy to be French.

Happy to raise the white flag too, no doubt.

As for the accent of my husband, he has a great musical ear, and maybe that is why he has hardly any Irish accent. Lucky me!

With a b|tch like the woman quoted, it's no wonder he changed his accent. Probably nagged to change it.

PS: All the people I know from Italy, France, Poland, etc are French, Italian, Polish. Nobody calls himself/herself European. Nobody.

Actually, only the German and French seem to call themselves European.

Oh, and if the French hate the Irish so much, why are there so many Irish pubs there?

The great craic: where, when, how, who?

Did I miss anything these last 30-odd years? I never see any craic with the Paddies.

In the pubs. Went to a French pub, and I thought I had walked into a funeral, it was so dead. Went into an Irish pub, and it was crammed full of french people, with a french trad band playing some tune down the back.

Perhaps since she hates us "paddies" so much, they just didn't invite her to the sessions. No-one likes a dour faced woman at a session.
