WhAt is An IrishmAn ?

WhAt is An IrishmAn ?
An Irishman is a man who?

May not believe there is a God,
but is darn sure of the infallibility of the Pope...
Won't eat meat on Friday,
but will drink Jameson for breakfast.....
Has great respect for the truth,
he uses in emergencies...
Sees things not as they are
but the way they never will be.....
Cries at sad movies,
but cheers in battle....
Hates the English,
but reserves his cruelty for countryman....
Gets more Irish the further he gets from Ireland.....
Believes in civil rights,
but not in his neighborhood...
Believes to forgive is divine,
therefore doesn't exercise it himself....
Loves religion for its own sake,
but also because it makes it so
inconvenient for his neighbors....
Scorns money,
but worships those who have it...
Considers any Irishman who
achieves success to be a traitor...
has no idea how to make a long story short
And last but not least... Being Irish means... your attention span is so short that ... oh, forget it.

O Danny Boy

O Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

Irish Humour : Oh fuck it's serious !

Irish Humour : Oh fuck it's serious !
The most popular legends at the moment are the Dublin Airport Taxi `Service', the equality of the Irish Tax system and the Northern Ireland Peace Process.

Irish Humour

Irish humour appears to be gentle, profound and subtle. It is none of these. It is cynical, bitter, deeply sarcastic and venomous and is generally a reaction to the Legends and Myths.
What you the visitor, laugh at on Father Ted is not typical irish humour. Observe instead what we laugh at on Father Ted. If you are lost at this point, good. You should be

I have reached the conclusion that irish humour shows two distinctive emphases – one on fantasy, the other on the grotesque and the macabre.




While it is legal to own a radar detector in the Republic of Ireland, it is actually illegal to use it.

Irish nAtiOnAl Anthem !

Irish nAtiOnAl Anthem !
A SOldier's sOng


Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song


Amhrán na bhFiann

Sinne Fianna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.
