    Come on man.. the connections between Ireland and Liverpool are far reaching; as recent as the famine.


    Fine. What about Chelsea. One of the most anti-Irish clubs over there historically.

    They'd understand the difference between Ireland's rate of snowfall and Canada's (vast).

    Ah sure it's only 90% of schools, what could possibly go wrong there.

    Similar in a few countries with politically inspired language policies.

    I'm not sure if it is a uniquely Irish thing but when the Celtic Tiger came in I noticed a sudden compulsion in cafes across the country to fill any blank space on a plate with crisps.

    Order a sandwich/bagel/panino and 100 guaranteed you get a few crisps scattered on the plate.

    It's fcuking bizarre.:confused:

    If you like crisps it's great!

    I've been told that in the pre-tiger era it was coleslaw!!

    I love this line, always fails to mention the full licensed driver as required by law though.

    Which begs the inevitable response we know you were waiting for - What about the **** painting kerbs green white and orange and flying more tricolour flegs than the rest of Ireland itself? :confused:

    Doesn't necessarily mean that if a politician is qualified for their post in question that they'll do a good job - James Reilly anyone???
