We're friends with the Queen and the Brits now, the majority up North don't want to be part of the Republic, and the majority here don't want the North! It's over people! Let's all just get along

We should just focus on trying to manage the 26 counties we have for the minute.

Wolfe Tone

That website says that Irish people are not historically Celts at all, maybe that's true of Ulster or Scotland or whatever but there are historical records of Gallo - Belgae settlement of South & Eastern Ireland similar to Southern England & other parts of the North West European region. Maybe perhaps we have more in common with the English then?

And would someone please explain to me why my mothers maiden name is Iriish Gaelic fot Belguim? :rolleyes:

No sane Irish person would deny that the Irish people are a mix of many settlers & invaders including meself with Norse, Flemish, Anglo Saxon & English family names but those eegits try to say we are all Neolithic inbreeds.

You couldn't make it up!!

Yes your right in saying most Irish people have a mix of blood these days, however our DNA has greater similarities to people from Spain and Portugal in areas such as the Basque region, and less similar to people from mainland Britain. The study was carried out a few years ago by a group of scientists Ill try find a link to it

slapbangwallop

Its actually a pretty decent stab at parody.

With the West Brits (I use the term loosely) on the front foot at the moment it could almost be taken seriously.

It's amazing how many Brits have no realization of the massive funding that the 6 counties gets from the English taxpayer. Expecially in these recessionary times.

That story has no links at all to the research or who carried it out, if the paper won't cite their sources, they can't expect to be taken seriously at all.

"An United" sounds wrong, imo.

Stuck out like a sore thumb to me too.

"An" is only used when preceding a vowel sounding word as far as I know.

As in, an elephant, an apple, an umbrella etc etc.

I am always baffled when I mostly hear and see 'an' before the word 'historical.'

if you type it in yourself on-line it comes up in numerous stories including an article on wikipedia but I will try and find you some hard proof seeing as your such a skeptic. But the story came out about 2 years ago and if I remember correctly it was all over the news, Im surprised you don't recollect.

hehe, well done lads. This lesson was given earlier this week but for all of his professions of loyalty to Her Majesty, Mr Cork Man doesn't seem to have much regard for the Queen's English. :pac:

In a sentence: as walshb said 'an' comes before a vowel sound, not a vowel.

Ergo, 'an amazing' 'an exceptional' 'an idiot' 'an orange' 'an utterly' (hmmm any nouns beginning with 'u' that have a vowel sound?), but 'a united'.

Note: 'a historic' is correct in Ireland because the vast majority of people pronounce the 'h'. In some parts of Britain they follow the Latin precedent and drop the 'h' in pronunciation with words of Latin origin - e.g. they live in 'an 'ouse' and stay in 'an 'otel', etc. However, according to the OED even in Britain 'a historic', 'a hotel' etc is preferred today.


We should have a grammar Nazi thread stickied at the top of Afterhours, entitled 'Your' is not the same as 'You're'. 'There' is not the same as 'They're' or 'Their'.

here is another story on it:

http://killarney-ireland.info/genealogy/dark-irish-celt-genealogy.html

And they got there information from The American Journal of Human Genetics if your still not satisfied I suggest you take a read of the journal, I think the article provides a link to it.

Maybe it is but I have my doubts.

Theyre right about the Celt stuff though.

I've been convinced of that for years, the Celtic myth was dropped long ago and was an idea of the Victorians.
In the days when forests still reigned supreme, the sea was the main highway, and we are right in the middle of that highway with brilliant links to all the Atlantic European countries north and south.
Speaking a Celtic language no more makes us Celts (whatever that actually means) than speaking English makes us English.

Oh_Noes

I think the "Back to the Future" slogan is quite funny. The DUP are far too serious for such a slogan though, so that kind of gives the game away.
