    I think pensodyssey was making a funny reference to a previous post of mine:
    dinkyla wrote: Irish-Americans are specifically who I am NOT looking for. A little bit of accent would be nice. But there really is nothing like some Irish blarney charmey over a pint...
    In short, it was a joke.

    Why is everyone on these boards so violently anti-Australian-American?

    Because wherever they go, they bring the crime with them and take all of our jobs.

    Indeed. A nation populated entirely by criminals, whose only reason for coming here is to steal your jobs and your daughters.

    Hey look, I hate real Australians as much as the next guy. No good for nothings with their Nick Cave and their burning beds and Greg Norman. But that's no reason to hate Australian-Americans, they're just as American as you or me.


    Although, I do like Kylie Minogue. She's not, you know, like those other aussies.

    Irish Haven on 58th and 4th Ave in Sunset Park. the regulars dont get much more Irish than those folks. A friend and I were playing guitar in there once and they kept buyin us drinks. Then they pretty much "kidnapped" us and forced us to go with them to this place called Leif's in Bay Ridge, where they continued to buy us drinks. I need to do that again...

    Mel Gibson, James Wolfensohn, and Rupert Murdoch in particular I think are upstanding US citizens and role models, a true antipodean gift to this country.

    As for Nick and Kylie, I thought they spoke British? And Greg speaks American.

    ANFIELD wrote: Queen, you've confused me. You say that you skew "Unionist" but you feel it'll be a long time before that happens. I take it, then, that you support a united Ireland. FYI, a Unionist supports the union of GB and Norn Iron and a united Ireland is anathema to them.
    Nnnno, I thought it was the Loyalists that support Northern Ireland remaining part of the UK. I've always heard "Unionist" used to describe those who wished the union of Northern Ireland with Southern.

    Unless those are terms unique to the United States attempting to describe the situation? If that's the case, that explains it, as we usually get stuff wrong. :?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unionists_(Ireland)

    "Unionism, in Ireland, is a belief in the desirability of a full constitutional and institutional relationship between Ireland and Great Britain based on the terms and order of government of the Act of Union 1800 which had merged both countries in 1801 to form the United Kingdom. "

    ...

    "The terms Unionist and Loyalist are often used interchangeably, particularly by the media."

    Hmm, I's pegged you as more of an Olivia Newton-John doggy.

    She's not a a true Australian. In actual fact she's Welsh-English-Australian. Mostly Welsh, probably.


    BTW, did you know ONJ's dad is the guy who busted Hess in Scotland?

    Hold your horses there folks. Couple of things.

    Number 1, I'm from N.Ireland I live in Slope and I do own Black Sheep. N.Ireland is yes a part of the UK as far as governmental control goes - although it is currently governing itself BUT BUT BUT - The good friday agreement put in place in Feb 98 allowed all N.Irish to declare themselves and be recognized as Irish or British based on their choice.

    That aside and even before that we didn't need any agreement to declare ourselfs irish at heart. Try telling Mr Gerry Adams he is British and I think you may find that his dedication to the cause is more than any of those free loading Southern Irish who quickly forgot to support the cause once they got free.

    In my opinion the Northern Irish are more Irish than anybody as they must still fight for their freedom.

    So come sit with me over a beer and I'll give you your dose of irish in the slope.

    Or we could just sit about and bullshit about something more interesting.

    My eyes r grey tho... sorry.

    Let's hear it for high standards!!! :wink:

    I think that there was a thread about that topic not so long ago - if I can find it, I'll link it.

    edit - I guess that this one is a little old, but there may or may not be something useful in there. http://brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=630

    Thanks for posting the link. So...once you go beyond Irish, the standards lower, eh? What is one to do!? :cry:

    I was just joking because of the tone of your question - it came off as "give me a boy, any boy!" but I knew that that wasn't the case. Here, here's a more recent thread about meeting people in general... last I checked, boys were people... in general...
