    You posting that is beyond freaky. I only had a conversation in work about The Bards on Thursday and yesterday showed that exact link to a work colleague.

    :)

    I actually dont know anything else by The Bards, just that song. My granda use to sing it :)

    Arrived in Dublin airport terminal 1 with no passport and asked the helpful teenagers in pink shirts what should I do

    I was told to queue up and explain to the counter staff and they asked my name and address and waved me through

    So Irish the passport staff don’t want my ID :cool:

    Very Irish I guess.

    Get sunburn at drop of a hat (used to wear factor 50 as a teen, now down to 20).
    I thank the bus driver when getting off.
    Drink tea all day long.
    Cant complain properly, just grumble to my friends.
    I think Americans are gas when they say they are 1/8 Irish.
    I can tell a good story and enjoy a sing song.
    And my mammy is the best mammy in the world.

    I had a pint of Guinness and a packet of Tayto while watching Leinster play Toulouse earlier. The family group chat is called Tiocfaidh ár lá (to annoy my husband. Not for dodgy reasons.)

    I’ve some rock shandy and kerrygold in the fridge and a box of Lyons in the press.

    Live in Essex, married to an English man.

    I’m a walking stereotype.

    Curious that they don't distinguish between Ireland and Scotland.

    I was being a little tongue in cheek. It reminded me of how I was at one stage in my life a good few years back but not anymore thank God :)
