    The Irish are too rough too wild, the English are too cocky too arrogant, the Scottish are too mean too dour....but the welsh, the welsh have got the right balance they've got the celtic spirit but they're also down down to earth and level headed with a modest outlook on life plus a great sense of humour (the ones i've encountered)

    Of all the home races i've always found the welsh the easiest to get on with, so i kinda wish i grew up in the land of the valleys.

    There are so many quiet Irish people like several american students who visited our college commented on how a lot of younger irish people were much more closed off than they expected. They said Irish people are friendly and nice once you start speaking to them though, you just never get approached as much here as you do by men in america (they were girls..)

    Then perhaps OP you should move to the lovely hamlet of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch.

    That'll cool your jets.

    The Welsh are great, but the weather is somehow worse than Dublin, I always see the Scots as very dour but the girls are hot and the English have the best sense of humor by far.

    By your username and the fact that you're there 9 months...are you born or just about to be born?

    To link up with my last post...are you...Dragon Bourne?

    What's the craic with the Welsh language fascists over there?

    Indeed. It would seem illogical in this day and age to restrict people to binary nationality choices.

    If it was not for my Scottish great great grandfather and his brother fighting over a six pence, the world would not have Copper wire and thus no internet.

    I have Welsh cousins who hate folks from the valleys.. Arrogant loudmouths according to them. And one teached Welsh in a high school..

    "Come home to a real fire - buy a cottage in Wales"


    The inspiration behind the more familiar graffiti on Irish walls, "Come home to a real fire - join the RUC".

    The Welsh are proud of thier language, it's taught correctly. And when you love something you will defend it unquestionably.

    Bit like Kerry people and the Healy Raes.

    Bit odd. I love my parents but I wouldn't defend them unquestionably.
