Country Discussion: Ireland

[Nymzee]

The fake Irish boil my piss. The accent is saucy on girls though.

Guinness is good for you

I did a tour of the Gunness store house with my misses and my Ma, neither of them drink but included in each admission is 2 pints one you pour yourself and one in the bar done by a proper barman.. I had all 6 in the space of maybe an hour along with other smaller samples that were available to try..
So I take issue with the Guinness is good for you statement, it wasn't great for me.

Only ever been to Belfast. Cracking city, still pock marked by the troubles. Hard to imagine what it must have been like pre-rapproachment. Was told the city centre was pretty much shut by 6pm. So vibrant now. The murals are interesting but tragic reminders.

Edit: I'm taking the discussion to encompass the island of Ireland.

I used to work with a Scottish guy who considered him a "traitor to his country of birth".

All good well reasoned stuff.

Or as I like to call it, Home.

Its been Northern Ireland for a century now. How many generations will it take before the anger goes away from both sides?

I don't mind answering this one.

Faux Irish: People that weren't born/grew up in Ireland who claim to be Irish, or act as though they are.

Jarg Irish are worse than people from Birkenhead saying they're from Liverpool.

It's cultural appropriation, or something.

Me ma's family were all Irish. Not far from Tipperary.

Many countries were occupied for more than a century before returning back to their rightful self governing. I wish you well this your quest sir.

Not my battle amigo. I’m a mere pawn in the grand scheme of things.

However the financial adjustments required to incorporate the 6 counties back into Ireland would make Brexit look like a colouring in exercise.
