I thought in the manner of the popular satirical blog Stuff White People Like (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/), After Hours could compile a similar list on the Stuff Irish People Like.

I'll start with an easy one.

The drink.

Irish people like acting white.

Along with fake lashes, fake nails, hair extensions...
In short, Irish people don't like growing their own

Trading and selling GAA match tickets and leaving them for collection at the local garda station

Bet the lads and ladies in Templemore were not told this was part of their duties too
Ah they don't mind

Entering competitions.

Blessing themselves when hearing anything remotely akin to bad news..

Looking at something in the distance when hearing the Angelus bells.

Well more a Waterford thing but two crusty blaas smothered in butter and half a pound of red lead with a big mug of cha.

Red lead?
What's that?

Hang sandwiches and a mug a scald around here, far nicer

Luncheon meat. Used to be really dark pinky red but the EU banned it as it was too carcinogenic or something so they had to changed the dye mix.

Ask anyone in Waterford and they will tell ya.

* Dodgy 40+ year old films on RTE to fill up the weekend afternoons

* Deflector dishes to get the English channels

Seems to me the Irish like:

- Adidas
- Being sweet to girls but then screwing and never talking to them again
- Throwing candy on the ground (everyday I walk to work, I'm always seeing candy, wtf)
- Butter
- Fake Tan
- Being patriotic about beef and dairy products

Of course, finest in the world :cool:

One of the few successful exports we have

A good ride.

old hippy · 25-06-2012 12:38pm

Trumpeting the education system & how clever we all are & then engaging in the most puerile, ignorant arguments online

Must say you got good yogurt.. As for the beef, I dunno..

mikemac1 · 25-06-2012 12:41pm

Glenlisk yoghurt from Offaly, easy to find, in most shops
Glenilen Farm yoghurt from West Cork, difficult to find. Comes in glass bottles, expensive but gorgeous

Sided · 25-06-2012 12:48pm

I've had Glenlisk. They have the rhubarb and the gooseberry ones, wish they had those in larger containers.. Delicious!!!

I've had some yogurt at the Dublin Saturday Food Market there.. I don't know if that's the Glenilen Farm one.. but it was in glass bottles and pretty tasty but expensive for the amount.. but well worth it!

Crooked Jack · 25-06-2012 12:48pm

Ourselves. Strangely, this also fits into the "Things Irish People Hate" list.

BraziliaNZ · 25-06-2012 1:14pm

Why do people always associate "begrudgery" with Ireland?
People say Jedward are weapons grade retards and an embarrassment which they clearly are - begrudgery
People say Bono is a World Class Twat which he absolutely is - begrudgery
Give it a rest!

BraziliaNZ · 25-06-2012 1:20pm

Boot cut jeans seem to be an Irish phenomenon too

Tying a jumper round the waist.

It's better than draping it over your shoulders :mad:

I was in a coffee shop there at the weekend and sure enough some leathery faced ould lad comes in with the cashmere cape hanging of the shoulders like he's some kind of yuppied superhero, david mcwilliams haircut, keys to the expensive motor put on the table straight away like some kind of symbol of office, italian leather shows with a f***ing point on them that hasn't been seen since the height of the renaissance.

Irish people no like.
