I believe the potato originated there.

A shiny penny for the first person to perform a Wiki to test this claim.

True. That's a good dish.

Surely they'd be able to tell from the name on the application though? No need to explicitly say you're nationality

Can you image in an interview?

"So Mr. Patel is there anyone you can prove that you aren't Irish?"

Potato originated from Americas, so that would be native / american / (red?) Indians, not Indian Indians.

Damn, now I want curried potatoes.

And in other news, yes non-light-skinned-people are perfectly capable of being racist too.

Indians and Pakistanis are not to high on my scale of trust to get a job done right.

that's why dubai is falling down already to be fair. it looks grand but it was made by clueless pakistani workers with little in the way of technical knowledge or ability.

Not as a result of being pakistani of course, but because they were basically brought in by the ship load, given a hard hat and a set of plans and sent on their way.

It is really falling down?

Sher backed up his views by referring to how poor quality construction is exposed whenever the region suffers downpours of rain. "A friend of mine was having a shower, and as he switched the shower off, the outside wall just fell off -the wall fell off because it was a few days after the rain."

This why Irish builders are so good!

I will stick with my not to expensive Eastern European handyman. A good hard working fellow from solid stock.

In fairness mike the houses that went up over the last 10 years here are shoite and these are the guys gone to Australia. I wouldn't let them build a dog house let alone a real house. The workmanship is terrible, the materials are terrible, the layouts are terrible, they've filled the country with estates full of ****. It's no wonder there skills are not wanted. A baboon and a bag of coke would have done a better job than a lot of them.

Or a monkey with a drink problem perhaps? The script is in the Thai language by the way so it's probably not Indians or Pakistanis advertising. Visually a lot like Sanskit though.

So you are saying that all, or at the vast majority, of house built in Ireland over the past decade are so poorly constructed that they presumable aren't fit to house dogs?

drunkmonkey wrote: »

All the workmanship in all the houses?

drunkmonkey wrote: »

the materials are terrible,

Are you saying that the specification, certifications and supply of material used in a house, or again the vast majority as you're saying, is the trademans responsibility?

drunkmonkey wrote: »

Trademen design houses, really? Which estates, I thought that was an architect job.

This thread is an Epic Fail by the OP. Originally it said Indians boasting that their 'not Irish', and now we find that they weren't Indians, the link has no reference to the Irish.

Probably it was a link to a Sri Lankan builder saying they weren't Hungarian. .

senorwipesalot

When Prince Philip was on a tour of a factory in Scotland he said their fuseboard "Looked like it was wired by an Indian".

Legendary racist.

They complain when people claim to be Irish.
They complain when people claim to be not Irish.
The Irish - They complain.

As far as building-work is concerned, they know what to do with the corners, but the the rest of the building is a bit of a grey area.
