Born in Glasgow but was 'Liverpool Irish' how on earth does that work?

No more Irish than I am and I've no Irish in me at all that I can find.

Love the country, love the people. I even live in the country but would never even try and claim to be Anglo-Irish.

I'm a blow-in and always will be.

Anyhow ………… back in the 70's a young lad from Clifden out on the Connemara was on his way North to visit some friends. He got stopped by squaddies at the border "Whats you name" …… Patsy O'Donaghue was the answer. "Where're you from" ……… Clifden "where's that" ……… the Connemara "where's that" ……….. County Galway "Why didn't you tell us that" .. I just did "where are you going" ….. Derry " you mean London derry" ……..... No I mean Derry.

Pull into that layby and turn your engine off. So he pulls into the layby and 20 minutes later the squaddies return. "whats you name" .. Patsy O'Donaghue" "where're you from" ………. Clifden ………… it goes on as before ……….. "where are you going" ……… Derry "you mean Londonderry" .. No I mean Derry.

"wait here, take your keys out of the ignition.

Another 20 minutes pass and the squaddies return .

"what's your name" …………… ah fuck it thinks the lad "I'm Patsy O'Donaghue and I'm going to Belfast!!"
