"Everyone Loves Ireland"

Timans

I am sick of hearing this from practically everyone I know. I really don't believe this. People seem to think that every other country loves us because we're such "craic" :rolleyes: .

Now, I am not a lover of Ireland but this is nothing to do with personal opinion. This is just me thinking people are a little naive in thinking that us, a group of begrudging drunkards, are the love of the world.

naivity or Timans being an anti-Irish twat?

:rolleyes:

Tell us what happened to bring this on.

Here we go again.
Well, at least it's the weekend. Less traffic.

Here's a quick explanation:
People go abroad. They meet the locals. Locals mistake them for English people. Irish people explain they are not English, but are Irish. Locals apologise and say they love the Irish.

Heres a tip bud

1- Fly to Glasgow

2- Go to nightclub

3- Say "yaright, whats dah story" to the first attarctive girl you see at the bar.

During the next 2 minutes, soak up the feeling most celebrities or footballers feel when they enter a club and tell the birds who they are, i wouldnt hve believed if i was merely told, but they litreally come running towards you. When you arrive home you get depressed at the fact you actually have to make an effort to impress a girl in a club you want to pull, rather than just stand still and be Irish like in Glasgow.

*to the tune of on the road again*

IM OFF TO PRAGUE NEXT MONNNTH, IM OFFF TO PRAGUE NEXT MONTH....

Could well be another reason the world loves us. Little Ireland, in 1990 an economically disastrous hole on the edge of Europe making it to the top 8 in world football

Cue pot bellied dudes heading for the nearest Oiiirish Pub to tank back gallons of lager at a rate the locals can only wonder at,and consequently up the charges to make a years takings on one invasion of Jack's/Mick's/Stan's/ jaysus anybodys army... cmon .. wel'l have a sing song ..we lost 0-6

Timans

Lol, sorry about the minor rant. I don't hate Irish people at all. I'm Irish ffs! I just don't like the arogance some people hold over their nationality. It's not pride in their country, it's arogance in my opnion.

We haven't pissed anyone off? I'm sure down the hundreds of years we've managed to piss SOMEONE off.

Series two began tonight, in it a character spots that Roy is Irish and goes into a cringing "the Irish love the craic" moment. Which reaches a funny climax later in the show but I won't spoil the anticipation by revealing all

You'll have to "youtube it" late.

Unfortunately the lads have never had enough cash and so ive never managed to get a group out to the med/aegean resorts. Trust me though lad, go to Glasgow and head to a club called the Archaos, banging techno, trance and hardhouse and full of birds age 17-23 weaing beach gear and who cream themselves at the sound of an Irish brogue (well, Dublin accent at least )

When i worked call centre with UK customers we all got loads from Scot and English birds, having a brief waffle with some Irish-accent-appreciating young scouser with an accent dirtier than the liffey was the only thing that brightened up an otherwise boring day

Of course we all imagined and hoped she was some Jennifer Ellison lookalike type when infact she might have looked more like Britains Strongest Man but **** it

I was apphrehensive going to what i assumed was a mere Dublin of the North, my mate litreally forced me into going (by bying the tickets without my consent then demanding the cash ), all built on the faith he had in a Scottish workmate that told him that, with our Irish accents we would find ourselves the weekend of our lives

I worked in a call-centre for a while that handled calls from the UK and I can tell you that every second woman (and the occasional) fella would comment on my accent and say how lovely it was.

Though you would get the occassional thick idiot who would call you a Paddy or a Mick in an agressive way. Reminds me of how much I hate call-centre work.
