Hahaha Thompson! One of our cats often says "Laptop!" when we ask him what he'd like for Christmas. And the "Help!" cry for all ours is "Wow-WOOOOOH!" We were warned about the flicking thing for 'Irish' (We were told it used to mean flicking off a flea!!). Its very non-PC nowadays. The correct sign is two fingers tapping the top of the other hand. All the Irish side of my family are excellent communicators, linguists, mimics and reciters. They all love singing complicated comic songs (a bit Val Doonican-like) Do you think this is a trait Irish people have naturally? I like to think I've inherited it!
