Message | I will agree. And the RRP cant claim to train the BRM everywhere, especially now they're illegal! I would also appreciate less fruity language from the Rt Hon Gentleman, who uses the "f" word in almost every parliamentary debate. |

Message | I met a man in a dublin pub and we decided to go to another together, but they wouldn't let us in. The next one also asked him to leave, and I stayed and asked why. They told me he was a "bleedin' bogey", and I decided that sounded bad and gave them all my coins as a tip, which they accepted (normally the Irish wouldn't allow me to tip them). The experience stuck w me. |

Message | You're a yank right? I find Americans coming to Ireland hilarious. Mostly out of stereotypical views I have after a girl on the flight back to Dublin from New York JFK (not at kid a teenager) asked me "if we had spoons in Ireland" because she had ice cream in the hold.. lol... If there was a prize for intelligence she'd have had it. |

Message | the funny thing was. The people could have survived if the Brits didn't keep taking away all the other produce from Ireland at the time. A lot of people consider the Irish Famine to be an act of genocide. |
