I work with a woman named Joy and it's a terrible name for her to have - she's the most miserable, whinging, bitching, joyless person I have ever met.

She asked me once if my parents were impressed when they visitied New Zealand. As the conversation whent on it became clear that she was under the impression that Irish people all lived in thatched cottages with pigs in the parlour. I laughed my ass off at that one.
