    Not sure where this should go ;

    In a British program about Colin Farrell's lastest flick SWAT presented by some British blonde bimbo. The best bit was her interview of ice-cool Samuel L Jackson.

    Bimbo: What was it like working with Colin?, cos he is just so hot in the U.K. right now

    Jackson: he's pretty hot in the U.S. too

    Bimbo: Yeah, but he is one of our own

    Jackson: Isn't he from Ireland?

    Bimbo: Yeah, but we can claim him cos Ireland is beside us

    Jackson: You see that's your problem right there. You British keep claiming people that don't belong to you. We had that problem here in America too, it was called slavery.

    Good one Sammy :)

    I think their "excuse" is that Ireland is in the British Isles. Great Britain is a political definition whereas the British Isles are merely an unfortunate geographical designation...

    JULES: English-motherf!ucker-can-you-speak-it?

    BRETT: Yes.

    JULES: Then you understand what I'm sayin'?

    BRETT: Yes.

    JULES: Now describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!

    BRETT: What?

    JULES: Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" again! I dare ya, I double dare ya motherf!ucker, say "What" one more goddamn time! Now describe to me what Marsellus Wallace looks like!

    BRETT: Well he's ...he's...black --

    JULES: -- go on!

    Hah, you're an idiot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Are you english? I know I sound a little abusive. But when I have to listen to soilders blaming me, and me alone for all the trouble in the north I get a bit pissed. In england all they know about is the IRA. What about the UVF etc etc and all the shít they cause. They know nothing of the history and anyone that I have explained the situation to have said "Well why dont we just give it back..... If the people want to be british they should come back to britian"

    Sorry if I was abusive.... but I have strong feelings on this subject.

    yeh have to keep in mind that Britain have a much better infrastructure then us, many native Irish there want to stay ruled by Britain, they just want the fighting to stop, I hate it when people think that everyone Irish there wants it to be part of the Republic and vice-versa, it pisses me off in fact!:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭Tha Gopher


    Jaysus,theyll be saying the wolfe tones are an Sasanach next.

    Ive seen this happen loads of times,especially on ITV. That CDUK show does it quite a bit,though in general what with the irish acts that appear on that show generally theyre welcome to them.

    Actually most of the english media seem happier to show Colin Farrell as the Irish foul mouthed drunken drug addled womaniser. Most UK tabloid stories about him seem to start with the line"Irish hellraiser Colin Farrell......"
    The Irish love a bit of a rogue who gives the two fingers to what the rest of the world thinks. The americans are horriifed when they hear of his drinking and his liking for prostitutes and occasional heroin use. The typical irish reaction is something along the lines of"gwan the fcuk!":)

    Going slightly off topic here but as I said thats what distinguishes even the famous Irish folks from the rest of the world. Every other country seems to have one or two celebrities who cant be trusted not to swear on pre watershed live tv,such as the Gallagher brothers in England. We have Farrell,Bono,Bob Geldof and plenty more whos names escape me. Geldof was actually on CDUK a few weeks ago and I made a poitn of watching purely because I knew he would eventually swear. And he did,in highly humourous fashion:D(something along the lines of"fcuk the time and show the next video") Like him or loath him,fair play to Dunphy for admitting drug use on his own show. In the UK he would have been sacked after an army of old biddies had ranted to the ITC about it. But here,noone cares. And would the Brits tolerate the likes of Parkinson swearing on his own show? Like fcuk they would.
    If Johnny Foreigner celebrities acted the same way the world would be a more entertaining place:)

    What occasional Heroin use?? Someone else will chip in with the quote cause I can't remember it but apparently he was being sarcastic in a Playboy interview and the interviewer didn't quite grasp the concept of sarcasm and it was written down as fact. ie

    Colin: Hellraiser......Wha me?? {chews nails} ah jaysus, sure I love the oul gear, smack....ya know.......Heroin.......;) ;)

    What was printed on the written page: I like Heroin and think it is great etc etc

    Thats not the quote, I made that up but apparently thats kinda like what happened.

    I saw it, twas on the other evening. They joked about Sam & Colin being slaves etc. The bimbo then asked him if he gets many girls, he said no. She replied saying he should get in contact with someone about that. Jokes about having ass written into his contracts ensued. Pretty cringeworthy, i went back to watching Men & Motors.

    CF got this break through the British entertainment industry, so in a way she is right. Personally, I think he is a f***ing embarrassment. When asked if blondes have more fun he replied 'No, but the Irish do'. What is it with the Irish and this attitude that we are the greatest party people in the world (a trait we share with the even more tedious Aussies)? Greatest for travelling the world and searching out the most soul-less faux Irish bar available and proceed to tell all within earshot of how great we are. Oh, we're gas us alright. And we definitely aren't racist. :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 Armen Tanzerian


    The entertainment industry and football are 2 areas where Irish success can legitimately be shared by British people. CF is a product of the English TV industry and I think it is natural for fair-minded British people to be proud of that. Same with Roy Keane. If I was English I would be immensely proud that the Premiership has produced the greatest footballing warrior of the last 20 years. Without a Scottish manger, an English mentor who got him to change his game (Robbo) and team-mates from all over the world, he would not be the player he is. I don't see why an Irish person should have a problem with British people enjoying their part in that.

    Your IBM comment is too stupid to comment on.

    Irish not racist? Try again. No more or less racist than most white western Europeans, but racist nonetheless. But you're right though, liking SLJ means you definitely aren't. ;)

    I think you'll find that the world stereotypes us as that.... Well actually the world calls us píssheads etc etc...... so if we're going to be abused by the rest of the world we may aswell lap it up and claim to be party animals. I have found that around the world, if you have a few irish people together they seem to have great fun..... either sitting in a house/pub/beer garden/street. We hav a certain I dont know what with people.

    Are you intentionally trying to annoy the f*uck out of me. First off Colin Farrell was born, raised and learned to act in Irealnd. He is not a product of British industry. Second of all the stupid blonde Brit bird call him one of us, insinuating that he is British which he is not. The same applies to Roy Keane born and raised in Ireland he's a product of Irish football having played for Cobh Ramblers. He would have been a great player had he stayed in Ireland maybe not quite as good but moving to England to further your carear does not make you a product of Britian. And lastly I can't see many Brits being proud of Roy Keane. The man is an asshole and is nothing to be proud of. Oh and I'm not a rasist, Sammy J. is the coolest cat in town.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Don't know much about football..... but surely the skill comes from the footballer. Roy Keane would be a great footballer no matter where he played.... wouldn't he? He is just well known playing for man U because the english pump a lot more money into football... the irish have GAA. Ah I can't be arsed to articulate a decent/long argument. I'm sure you can fill in the gaps yourselves. He is an Irish footballer..... HE is good...... Just cause he plays for a british team Doesn't mean he's british.
