Ask About Ireland

To get to know me better, i thought it would be a good idea for you all to know my country better. So, if you want to know anything at all about Northern Ireland or Ireland, whether it be about the troubles or the weather, just ask

 

Do you know Simone? I really miss her. She was nuttier than a squirrel turd.

AYBABTU

 

Ireland is cool. I want to go there someday.

//missed the point of the thread

 

I remember her vaguely from these boards, didn't know her in real life.

 

Simone jokes never die!

 

Does everyone in like Ireland like U2 as much as the rest of the world does?

*is ignorant*

 

Of course we do. Maybe even more so. We're very proud of U2.

But my personal opinion is that U2's best work is behind them, and that Bono is getting more and more about the image and less about the music as time goes on. Alot of the time Bono is full of crap.

 

Goooooooood Bless Amerrrrrrricaaaaaaa!!!

 

U2 broke into my top 5 best concerts with their last tour (saw them both in Indy and at the 2000 Superbowl), so their best stuff might be behind them, but their ok stuff is still better than most of the other crap I have to suffer thru whilst changing radio stations between Jim Rome & NPR.

 

*Has the IRA shoot Tracy*

 

Are the Scottish really better?

 

No.

Actually, it turns out that uh... William Wallace was Irish. Yeah.

 

Why is Irish music so completely rockin'?

Seriously, from Los Angeles to Seattle, to Chicago, to New York, to Paris, to Berlin....in every town I've ever really partied in, I always manage to find the Irish bars, and the Irish tunes.

Amazingly enough, Austin, Texas, and Amsterdam, Holland provided an Irish music scene that was really impressive.

The Scots make better whisky though.

 

Hey, you can't trick me, you leprechaun. I happen to have a Scottish-English-Dutch-American friend who is well-informed on the subject of Scots being better than the Irish:

[Scottish-English-Dutch-American friend]: William Wallace wasn't Irish
[Scottish-English-Dutch-American friend]: the Wallaces were a Welsh family that had married into the Scots quite a while before that
[Scottish-English-Dutch-American friend]:

That being said, how is county Galway? That's where my ancestors come from.

 

Was the Irish guy in Braveheart your favorite character from the movie?

 

No. But he was pretty cool.

 

The Irish guy was great, but Sophie-erm... Isabelle was better.
