Us English should fight back.

Open loads of English Bars. In all parts of the world. Including Ireland.

That'll teach 'em. !!!! :D :unionjack:

Thats why I married her!

I have an Oirish grandad and a Dutch grandad but I am English through and through.

I just allow the Oirish to brew my fave tipple for me.

Does drinking in the 12 Pins, Blackstock Arms and Plimsoll Arms over the years count towards any Irish blood? :corkbarry: If not then no :wink: but might have some 19th century Lithuanian blood in me if that makes me more of a downtrodden rebel that just a plain, boring old anglo saxon from south east England :lol:

Guiness is actually an ENGLISH brew. :D

Came from Spittalfield Market. The porters used the local taverns for a booze-up. Every tavern brewed it's own beer.

One of the taverns overcooked the ingredients, by mistake.

The beer ended up black, and slightly bitter.

The porters got a taste for it. The beer became known as "Porter".

Arthur Guinness discovered it. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Swap those two counties for Leitrim and Monaghan, i'm exactly the same. I wouldn't consider myself "Irish" or "English" though...

I used the chatup line "got any irish in you"
"no"
"want some?"

once... she said "I don't get it, you're not Irish, you're from raaaaand 'ere".

So I spunked on her leg.

True story! Apart from the leg spunking!
