    Err you would find any of them offensive, if you were from the country. They are _ALL_ offensive, not just the Irish one. Only a bit of fun though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    It's a joke. If you're offended by things in this forum... tough! Really, humour is offensive a lot of the time, and yet it's funny, so either don't read the forum or grow up and take things with a pinch of salt.
