    a friend gave me it as a present many years ago as he knew I was into them, he has died since so I can't ask him. I presumed for years it was lee Enfield until recently

    Did you ever read about ireland in a publication written outside Ireland by people who were not Irish?

    There's loadsa them AFAIK!

    The German's were big into collecting and writing about Irish and so-called Celtic folklore - In fact, I think they may have been some of the first to start treating Ireland and the Irish as a separate culture.

    In more recent years (i.e. in the last 100 or so:D), Heinrich Böll, another German writer, wrote his "Irisches Tagebuch" ("Irish Journal") in the 50's about life on Achill.

    That's two immediate examples I can think off, just in German, so obviously there might be a couple more in English, Latin, Spanish, etc etc:p:D

    But we're getting waaaaaayyyyyyy off topic!:)
    So:

    Freud even thought the Irish were a league of their own.

    I know it's off topic, but it beats some of the other stuff (belonging to the guy of "last tape" fame)

    Been there. Once had to proof read an economic commentary on Ireland written in French by a French economist. :eek:

    This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever. Sigmund Freud

    Other people have a nationality. The Irish and the Jews have a psychosis.

    It's not that uncommon... though the material tends to be either leprechaun-influenced or else fairly unflattering.
    Plus, a lot of the stuff we read in Irish magazines is from non-Irish sources anyway, from the Sunday Times to the Shooting Digest, it's just not that unusual.
