We dont take the piss outa English as they do us!!

Having lived in England for the past 4 years, I was alway's prone to a paddy's joke, mocking of my voice etc. just typical steriotyping. It made me wonder why is it that the English always take the piss out of the Irish but the Irish never really take the piss out of the English. Maybe the odd scouse accent 'calm down calm' but thats it. Why is this and do you mock the English apart from the usual patriot comments like 'u'll never beat the Irish'....any thoughts?

We're not allowed. People will think we're unsophisticated or have a complex.

That's it. The Irish, as they stand now, are simply better educated. Of course, Fianna Fail will change that. In all honesty, there is something so deep in the English psyche with regard to their place in the world... don't even bother trying to understand. With an Irish accent, you're going nowhere

We don't care, but Jeez do they"

Irish accents are generally more mockable than English accents.

Well it depends .I live in England and shed any hang ups, as well as pre concieved ideas I might have had about England and the English long ago .Living in a smaller Island ,our history and the fact that there are more English / British might go some way to explaining any complex .

And yet paddy by it's conatations is much the same as a scot being called Jock or welsh being called Taff and not nessacarly a put down . Just as the Germans still refer to an Englishman as Tommie and the french call the English rose beefs

Meh, roll with it or ham it up. Youd be amazed at how much you could get away with

We do take the piss! I do anyways...

I remember being asked by some English people if the Irish tell jokes and take the piss out of the English ? to which I stright as a dye replied '' What ? of course they do , all the time '' which went down hillariously . Irish alternitive comedians like Dylan Moran are popular in England / UK and although not a fan of Frank Carsons style of comedy ( to out dated ) some of his Irish / English - English / irish jokes are quite funny .

The Romans were pussies compared to the mighty Celts.

Of course.
Now you can grumble about it or you can make light of it. The decision is yours.
I see you're in America, so you will probably grumble about it and about how Ireland sucks compared to America and bore us all to tears about how good your life is over there.
Now I do admire you for making a move and doing well for yourself, but we all know why we live here and none of us need reminding.

Also, kudos on being sophisticated.

I just opened my window and told England to fúck off. They're all limey bastards.

Happy now?

I think it might have something to do with Ireland being a horrible backward hole. Where we cant do anything right, and Englands not. Just a thought
