The world does not love the Irish (1 Viewer)

[Denny Oubidoux]

its kevin myers writing fake letters to the indo - would ye dont be taking him seriously!

 

[Mitchum]

the comment about France being interested in other nationalities is laughable!
probably the most insular country i have ever been in.

FFS.


I'm baffled as to why the Indo would publish such crackpot ravings...
unless it's worried about the rise in circulation of the Irish Mail.

 

[broken arm]

anyway, what is it that people think the rest of the world would love about Ireland?

ahem, do i have to do a paxman?

The hands that built Amerikay, Jeremy.

Answer your own question first. Lead by example. Otherwise I'll just keep sitting in here in the nip repeating the last word of every sentence that I hear.

At the moment I haven't a clue. It's a mystery. A fantasy? misty-eyed folksy fad? mass delusion?

It's surprising how often people talk about whole nationalities being 'sound' or otherwise. Sometimes even pretty clever people.

I'm reading Football Against The Enemy by Simon Kuper. It mentions a survey of Dutch youngsters in the early 90s, asking them to rank the countries in the EU in terms of how well/badly they viewed those countries. The Republic of Ireland was second worst, behind Germany. Kuper reckons it was probably because they thought the sectarian murders were here.

Who in all seriousness, apart from me, thinks that their soundness is inextricably linked to their nationality or vice versa? Dopes, that's who.

Ireland has more sound people per capita than other countries. I read that in the Economist a few months ago.

Yeah but according to the same study we have the largest inner-wally in Europe and we are twice as two-faced as the Scandinavians. Now Im no mathematician but that makes 4 faces which officially makes us the trickiest sneaks in Western Europe (Risk Map)

But the very same study concluded that even when we're robbing you blind, we do it with a smile on our four faces.

They piss on their own kids in France. I witnessed this firsthand.

Just one smile.

A face for every province. It's so perfect. That's why Irish people are so awesome and stupid foreigners love us.

[Moods For Mallards]

Ireland has won 4 Eurovisions and 3 Booker Prizes in the last 20 years! Art capital of Europe. We're had 2 capitals of culture too.
We're absolutely amazing FOR OUR SIZE!
Look at Keano too.

 

[MDR]

Countries are crap - I'm more into gangs.

 

[Yurn!]

All you need to know about Ireland and the over-fucked glory-hole that it is, is on Harcourt Street between the hours of 2.03am - 3.32am, on any Saturday night.
