Irish anybody?

[Poopcannon]

Is anyone else here Irish or is it just me?

[DreamingOfDreams]

I'm part irish, and my best friend is pure irish.

[Poopcannon]

Which part?

[DreamingOfDreams]

Er . . . my left ear? (hahaha)

[Zeldy]

Im a eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny bit irish :)

[Dr.K]

Both my parents are Irish. I guess it depends on whether you're a 'blood-nationality' kinda person or a 'location-nationality' kinda person to determine how Irish I am, if at all.

[Destai]

Im Irish, and theres a leprechaun in my attic. A small bit of my hair even goes red in the summer just.

[Poopcannon]

So what field do you live in?

[Destai]

So what field do you live in?2nd from the left.

[Poopcannon]

Ok then, which county?

[Destai]

Dungarvan town in Waterford. Its alright =/ I prefer Dublin.

[theundeadhero]

I have some Irish in me. Not over half, but no small amount.

[Fuzakeru]

. . . . scottish accents are sexier.

And no.

[radyk05]

i just want you to know that i am NOT irish. thank you.

[kikimm]

I'm English and Scottish, but no Irish. Good thing, bad thing, I don't know.

EDIT: I think I'd rather be Welsh.


:D

[Destai]

. . . . scottish accents are sexier.

And no.yeah keep telling yourself that ^^

[Poopcannon]

HA! I couldn't agree more. There's no bigger turn off than a girl with a big dirty Scottish accent that only men should have...

OK, IS ANYONE ELSE IRISH? I'm getting pretty lonely in my corner over here...

[Giga Guess]

Irish by descent.

[edczxcvbnm]

When you say Irish do you mean born in Ireland or just Irish blood. I have mainly Irish blood. Damn near pure Irish blood.

[Rye]

I'm a quarter Irish, though I don't look it. I'm half Italian, and another quarter German also, but I really look like none of those ethnicities.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm half Irish, and spend significant tracts of my youth there. Northern Ireland that is, not those upstart rebel parts.

Not that it really matters to me a whit. Nationality is so insane an idea I'm not remotely surprised Humanity came up with it.

[eestlinc]

I am Irish by descent and spirit

[Raven Nox]

I'm 1/3 Irish, and I think it's my biggest part, my last name is Irish also, I'm also largely British, but I still think I'm more Irish.

[Sweet Beloved]

I'm 25% Irish. I do like thier culture there, but i heard it rains a lot in Ireland.
I'm British and Indian too. And a little German....cause of my last name.

[Cruise Control]

I'm like 1/8 irish and 7/8 italian, OMG LEPRACHAUNS IN THE MAFIA!

[Cuchulainn]

yep.

[Cless]

I'm from, and live in Northern Ireland! Though ironically, I don't think I have that much Irish blood in me. I think my descendants are English, but my genepool must have picked up some Irish along the way.

I was born and raised in the County of Armagh.

[Cruise Control]

How do you say Armagh

[Cless]

Ar (as in arm) and ma (as in mama). Ar-ma. That's the way I say it anyway!

[Cuchulainn]

I've been to Armagh, I know people in Crossmaglen. I'm from North Belfast, and unlike Cless, I'm most probably 100% Irish as my descendants are from County Cork (or Cobh). I was born in Antrim, moved to the Falls in West Belfast then to Poleglass in West Belfast & now to here...the crazt riot loving North of the city...busy childhood.

[Cruise Control]

Cool, just wanted to know!

[Hawkeye]

UH OH IF YOURE IRISH POST THERE THREADS HAVE RETURNED LOLZ

[Cuchulainn]

UH OH IF YOURE IRISH POST THERE THREADS HAVE RETURNED LOLZ

A little while ago (I don't remember how long) a lot of people started posting threads which boasted the title "If you're American/Australian/Irish/English/Pig post here" or something. But this is only one thread....and I hope it stays that way. :p


:D

Thank's for the translation, babbelfish doesn't have a 'moon-monkey to English' option :)

[Mercen-X]

I'm more Irish than German. I'm equally Scottish. I'm barely Blackfoot and half-half Phillipino.

The Irish/Scottish thing must be why I'm always at war with myself on the soccer field.

Alease I'm noh Frensh. Huohuohuohuohuoh.

[boris no no]

i'm more irish then german and more german then english. by blood i'm mainly irish. but i was born and raised in england.
i have strawberry blonde hair though!!....but bits pink right now :p :love:

[Devourment]

I'm part Irish & part Welsh. :p

[Poopcannon]

Plenty of people here of Irish descent... Anybody here form the Republic? More importantly, anyone from Dublin? There seems to be mainly British and Americans here...

[gokufusionss1]

I am happy to report i have no irish blood, well not unless you count ulster prodestants as Irish.

[Poopcannon]

Technically no. They really are British...

[Cuchulainn]

Good to see your family were one of the few that didn't over-stay their welcome & went home again. :)

[gokufusionss1]

Englands way better then Ireland anyway.

[Cuchulainn]

Englands way better then Ireland anyway.

I have no doubt that you firmly believe that.

[gokufusionss1]

I believe in nothing
I know everything.

[Cuchulainn]

I believe in nothing
I know everything.

I have no doubt you firmly believe that too, we could go on...

[gokufusionss1]

we couldn't go on because my inital point makes your secondary point irrelevant.

ermmm Mwhahahahahha

[Cuchulainn]

My secondary point actually confirms my first & invalidates any point you made. Checkmate.

[Destai]

Englands way better then Ireland anyway."I say old chap, A man in a dress, how amusing, hahahahaha."

[gokufusionss1]

[bennator]

My mom's side is Irish... I'd love to go there someday.

[Chris]

Ag amharc trí m'óige,
Is mé 'bhí sámh,
Gan eolas marbh
Bhí mé óg gan am,

Anois, táim buartha,
's fad ar shiúil an lá.
Ochón 's ochón ó.

:whimper:

:whimper:I can only make out parts of that. Im crap at speaking gaeilge.

[Chris]

It's a beautiful lament:

Looking back over my youth,
I was content,
Without knowledge of death
I was young, without time,

Now I'm sorrowful,
The day is long past.
Alas and woe, oh.

[Jack]

No, you're the only person in Ireland who decided to go on Eyes On FF. I mean, in a eitire county, everyone else neglected this site except for you. What a honour!

[Odaisé Gaelach]

I'm from Ireland as well. Hey, everyone! If you're ever going through Co. Monaghan... keep on going, it's a dump.

My Irish is okay but my grammar is terrible without my handy, 628-page pocket dictionary :D

[Poopcannon]

I speak fluent Irish with no mistakes. If anyone wants me to translate anything into Irish for them, feel free to ask...

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Really? Are you from a Gaeltacht?

[Chris]

Donegal. Beautiful landscapes. :love:

[Poopcannon]

No, I'm from Dublin, but I went to an Irish primary and secondary. You tend to pick it up wether you want to or not...

[Chris]

My wish is to go to Donegal. :love:

[Cuchulainn]

Ireland is full of green beauty, here's a few pics & I didn't need to go far :D

To the moderators, if this isn't allowed, i apologise.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/every1splastic/trip%20to%20Ireland/197.jpg

This is Carlingford harbour with the Mourne Mountains in the background.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/every1splastic/trip%20to%20Ireland/225.jpg
Remains of Dundrum Castle, built around 1100.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/every1splastic/trip%20to%20Ireland/150.jpg

near the top of Cave Hill, the caves here are Neolithic & there's the remains of a small fort & neolithic burial Dolmens.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/every1splastic/trip%20to%20Ireland/5.jpg

Hills of Antrim from Glenarff Forest.

There's more but I can sense the 'wtf' from peoples minds so I'll stop.

[Chris]

Ireland is my favorite country! xDDDDDDDD

[Destai]

I never thought there was anything particularly great about it. I think its beauty is over rated.

[Chris]

I LOVE IRELAND, WHEN I'M OLDER, I'M MOVING THERE. :love:

[kikimm]

I never thought there was anything particularly great about it. I think its beauty is over rated.

Really? I don't so at all. From what Cuchulainn posted, that only strengthens that belief. xD But I love green hills, forests, those trees, the history of it all, with the castles. I'd love to go there, even if I'm not Irish.


:D

[Chris]

Maybe we should travel there together? xD

[Ryth]

I'm Irish. On my father's side. :) The Irish is rule!!

[kikimm]

Maybe we should travel there together? xD

LET'S GO.

I'm all for it. xD


:D

[Mercen-X]

My dad wants to vis the countries of all our origins. Those pictures don't anything for me. I am not one to "behold" beauty or grace. I am a person who touches that which I should look at, etc.
In order to fully absorb the beauty of those hills, I'd have to spend days on end running around them, goofing off.

[Chris]

Grace Jones & Ireland are my two favorite things in the world.
A Grace Jones concert on a Irish hill-top? PARADISE! :love:

[Cuchulainn]

Here's more

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v431/Cuchulainn187/72.jpg
Dunluce Castle, it was set on the edge of a cliff & joined to land by a bridgeway. in the 1700s the kitchen fell into the sea killing all the cooks. It's said the castle's owner, when hearing this said 'what am I going to do for meals' not giving a sh*t about the poor workers who plunged down the rocks into the sea. :D WHAT A GUY.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v431/Cuchulainn187/Picture031.jpg

The remains of Downhill House, burnt by a fire in 1890s. As it's a listed building it has remained there, abandoned ever since. There's a mosuleum & temple behind it & it's creepy.

LASTLY...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v431/Cuchulainn187/217.jpg
Tullymore Forest...WHERE THE LEPRECHAUNS LIVE.

[Chris]

You're killing me here. :(

[kikimm]

God that's beautiful.


:D

[Odaisé Gaelach]

I was on Inis Mór a while back. I was sitting on the steps to this statue, looking out at the bay. It was a good day, bright and clear.

This elderly Japanese woman was sitting beside me. She looked at me and I looked at her, and she pointed to herself and said:
"Japanese."
I pointed back to myself and replied:
"Irish."
With her thin hands she guestered out over the bay. What she said next I will never forget.
"Beautiful."
I simply replied,
"Yes." There was nothing more that could be said.

It's a strange feeling, when someone comes from the other side of the world, from a country so intricate and richly cultured as Japan, to tell you that your country looks beautiful :)

[Poopcannon]

That's because she didn't come to Dublin, and if she did, she was making a comparison *looks out the window and shudders*

[Cless]

What a lovely story, OdaiseGaelach. :)


Good to see your family were one of the few that didn't over-stay their welcome & went home again. :laughing:

Man, I've never actually noticed how beautiful my country is, or how green it looks.
