Dude,
Yer weather and food are, like, totally crap and stuff. Which, like, reminds me: How bout those Cubs, huh?
As for the Irish copying Americans, it could be MUCH worse. We have Americans here waltzing around in their pyjama bottoms and slippers, with big "L" stickers that have been on their Puntos for the last 4 years of their lives, screaming "Jaysus!" and "Bullox!" in their front gardens while they swill that horrible, horrible drink you call Cider, chain smoking the even more horrible Silk Cut purples, with a baby under one arm while buying pirated DVDs out of the back of a manky ol' Peugeot van.
Jaysus!

We have a very rich history of corrupt politicians that trace their lineage to this mossy rock.
The food .....well ......the food is what makes going back worth the hassle of flying.0 -

I grew up on the southside of Chicago and spent most of my summers at old Comiskey park. So any comments about the Cubs towards me is a waste of your time.
Our weather is amazing. Where else to you get the differences in weather that we see every year? We actually have seasons.
I was in San Antonio in 1993 during the United States Olympic Festival. I was coaching with US Water Polo at the time and house at Lackland Air Force base.
The temperature varied between 99 and 100 degrees during the day with 65% humidity. It hadn't rained in 65 days when we arrived, and didn't rain for the three weeks that we were there. Apparently it rained in September and the entire city nearly washed away.
San Antonio is a great little town. Don't get me wrong, but thats not weather.
As fot the food, you are again, sadly mistaken. Chicago is a metropolis of cultures from around the planet. We have every variety of food you could imagine. I don't even want to get into listing them because I'll start drooling on my keyboard.
I'll take what we have in Chicago.0 -

Ack! Ya must be more Irish than American - that sarcasm was, like, totally lost on you, fer sure.
Summer and Texas means it's gonna be hot. I doubt any Texan is gonna argue that. It takes tough folks to live here for the summer. In fact, summer and Chicago means it is also going to be hot and humid, too. However, unlike Chicago, we don't have winters here. Between October and April, it is usually about 40-60 for a low, and 50-80 for a high. I'll pass on the 'seasons' because it was 75 today; I'm fine with that. In fact, it's been quite sunny and pleasant all 'winter' here. Never snows, never ices, but it does rain like hell sometimes... we get those huge southern thunder storms that can drop 10" in a day - especially when a hurricane hits the coast. We had 3" the other night; filled the pool. I added fish to keep the skeeters down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_1LloD0JJQ
Ya can't really see the Gambusia, but the gold fish are in it.
We average about 30-36" of rain a year, usually. If I were you, I would be glad it didn't rain when it was 99* That would have taken it from 99* and 65% humid(which is nothing) to maybe 90* and 100% humid(which is brutal). When it rains here, it is nothing like the softness you get in Ireland, ti is honest-to-goodness southern rain storming. Good for the skin and your lungs, though. Uh...
Too bad about the White Sox last year. SO close. But, hey, don't you have Clemens now? I bought a NY Yankees #22 Clemens Jersey knowing full well he wasn't ever gonna play a single day with them. So it's kind of a neat little curio. I also have a White Sox jersey. What # is Clemens?
Next time you visit, try the BBQ. Closest thing you have up there is maybe KC or StL BBQ(which I also happen to like). In fact, I thought Bandanas, for a franchise, was not so bad. I think what I missed most about living in StL as far as food went woudl be the BBQ and the Kolaches. Most everything else you can get most anywhere else.

It annoys me that Irish people now have a globally accessible forum to show the world just how easily annoyed (and bigoted, and racist, and stupid) they are.
Ahh come on, now. Yer not stupid. You just seem...petty to us Americans is all. Much of the posts I read here leave me wondering "Do these people actually have lives to lead?" The amount of crying and whinging I experienced in Ireland is simply not accepted here in Texas. If you want to go cry, go to Yore Ma. Your average Texan would be embarrassed for you if they saw you whinging so much in public.

Okay I know I'm more Irish than American because I didn't understand a fooking word of this post (exageration, I did understand some of them).0
