The most Irish thing I've seen lately

In fairness thats Mullingar

St Patrick riding a leprechaun, while doped to the gills on shamrocks.

Ah don't be such a buzzkill, there've been worse threads here.

I once drove home behind a tractor that had full shopping bags tied on to the back.


By the way, what's the craic with people from around Kildare/Offaly pronouncing "Briquette" like "Brickit"??? Used to work up there, always found it weird...

I was perusing the menu of a local fast food joint here in Mullingar, and it turns out you get a free bale of briquettes if you spend over €30 on your food!

Score!

Has anyone else seen anything lately that made you smile and think, only in Ireland...? :rolleyes:

Apologies for giving this more seriousness than you've intended but this shít pisses me of. Let's go.


Is this whole "that's very Irish" thing not merely a hangover from British colonial stereotypes, particularly 19th century ones such as that typically delusional and conceited English remark that "every time the English find an answer the Irish question, the Irish change the question"? Mar a dúirt Behan, "Not so, a mhic, because there isn't any such thing as the Irish Question for us Irish; there's only the English question"

Of course it is. Grow up. There are plenty of stupid, thick fúckers in Britain - have you seen their tabloids, or their rabidly nationalistic poppy day celebrations? - does that mean we should say "that's very British" about anything stupid or xenophobic which a British person does? No, but some Irish people have internalised British stereotypes about us Irish. So uncool.

Because anti-Irish stereotypes did not emerge out of thin air. In the vast majority of cases, they can be directly attributed to British views of the Irish. They have a context. To ignore this origin does not negate this reality.

feck it your right lets go over and kill the bast@rds

is é seo an rud is héireann ive le feiceáil
