Irishness is..........................

stevoman

What way would finish the sentence?

I'l start so....

Irishness is, when you go into a shop and buy a drink that has 50% extra free only to realise that the normal size bottle is cheaper!

Roadend

I would have thought Irishness was to charge extra for the bottle with 50% extra free?

To be honest.. all of those are a global thing. Except maybe the stuff following "not to mention."

Anyway.

Irishness, to a foreigner living here seven months, is alcoholism, having potatoes with EVERYTHING, boring food, disturbing levels of gossip and self-righteousness, constant complaining without action, and having fantastic senses of humour.
