How Irish are you?

Clicked option 1. Lived in Scotland for a few years and went to school there.

Don't have one good thing to say for the Scots except the landscape is glorious up beyond Fortwilliam.

Happy to return to county Derry :tricolour:

I have no Irish blood, to the best of my knowledge.

But I kind of feel a bit Irish.

I love the Craic, love Guiness, and my favourite person was my brother-in-law who was raised in Manchester and London, of Irish parents. I also spent some time in Derry/Londonderry when I was a kid. And I've visited Cork, Wicklow and Buncranna.

Can I be an honorary Irishman, please?

As usual I apologise to the inevitable person who doesn't fit any of the answers.
:oops: :oops:

See, I knew I wouldn't cover all the bases. Should have seen that one too as my cousin is married to a cork man who left when he was about 7.

Sorry Jim.
