    The following can be considered as historical stereotypes, but that's what I have of preconceived ideas of the Irish.

    They are inveterate drinkers.

    They have a poor work ethic compared to its European neighbors.


    Their inherent hatred of the British monarchy.

    Disclaimer: I am not Irish but can also cite for example as defects of Americans their egocentrism, their arrogance .

    They like to bless themselves as they pass fairy forts & kiss the bishops ring

    Sorry but thats horse bollox!

    The dutch and the germans will work for what they're paid for. Clock in a 9 and out at 5, end of.

    I've worked in the Netherlands for 10 years, and I'm always there later than the natives. ALWAYS.

    So you might wanna edit that before you p1ss off an entire nation.

    Just sayin...
