You're substantiating Tiocfaidh's argument, GUEST and Ooh-Aah2. I am very interested in this thread. Yet I see several Irish people laying well-defined points and then I see answers from several that would call themselves British (English perhaps?) that are ugly with only harsh words and quips for response. I would really like to know the answer to Dave the Gnome's question that started this thread and I think that maybe we've all seen that if not yet proven to be among the average Brit, an anti-Irish bent does truly rest here with some of our fellow mudcatters. Maybe you're having a bad day perhaps? If so, I really do hope tomorrow is better for you.
