    Making the assumption that Boards is largely Irish based and representative of the people who live here....
    what have you learned about the Ireland and its people through Boards since joining? Good and/or bad.

    Do we adhere the various stereotypes you have come to expect from the Irish?

    I guess we do talk an awful load of bollix for one :pac:

    English guy here - erm.... I was told to expect a great deal of anti British bias here, yet in 2 years here, I've only experienced it 5 or 6 times, and the vast majority of you are sound as.

    I fail to see how being a vagina of the reformed persuasion is meant to be a compliment.
