The irish have intergrated well into america. I'm half irish and I take a certian pride in the fact that irish americans have adapted well into their new homes and stoped clustering into little neighborhoods. This is what america is about.
People actually from Ireland... about 4. People who were born in America who have red hair and/or like to find creative ways to justify their drinking problem... countless.
Almost everyone I know, including myself, is Irish. If I met someone who wasn't, I don't know how I would react.
At this very moment, you have at least two relatives who are not speaking to each other. Not fighting mind you, just not speaking to each other.
I see Irish people everywhere, but only really knew some adopted Irish brothers in 4th grade, that were originally Indians, and were real characters. While one had brocken every bone inside his body, due to his addiction for jumping from high surfaces and just walked out of school after a teacher had told him off, the other one wrote a love letter to our non-attractive, middle aged, school teacher, that absolutly loathed him. That deed was just ace.
My gf is Irish, but Australianised Irish so she doesn't contain that awful accent and she's not wetbrained like the rest of them either.
You spent a good portion of your childhood kneeling in prayer, many of your childhood meals were boiled and childhood remedies for the common cold often included some form of whiskey.
Got sorted for a gaff to stay at, stayed in a squat with an Irish guy from the same town as me (huge coincidence ), a Guatemalan guy and an Italian girl. Wicked little house and sound as fuck people. Got a free place to stay anytime Im in London now
Excellent! Where about in London? How big is your town? That's quite funny that someone just happened to be in the exact same place at the right time!
5,000 people in my town so huge coincidence Well I originally went to Farendale (sp?) squat to see if I could stay there but met these lads outside and after a bit of a chat (we were both sruprised as fuck and a bit pissed ) he said that they had a squat further out near Seven Sisters road and I was welcome to go there. Was lived in previously by a mental Jweish guy who dissapeared and they spent 2 months cleaning the place, been living there two years and have running water, electricity and even internet. Apart from the bed bugs its a fucking palace
I've heard of it, but never been there. That's cool! Well apart from the bed bugs It's strange how things turn out sometimes!
Well there's the guy from the Irish Spring soap commercial on TV; and Lucky the mascot for Lucky Charms Hotwater
