I have an ex-wife that is Irish, O.K. she and I don't talk, (that is the way of life, we can no longer tolerate each other).
Today, I was sharing a pub with people that 'claim', to be Irish, they weren't just in the pub, they where in your face in the pub!
The attitude was, 'We, are here, we will make as much noise as we want and stuff the rest of you', one was wearing a T-Shirt proudly announcing he was Irish.
Is this a Class thing on my behalf?
I can honestly say that although she and I don't talk her relatives that have been over here for more than 40 years wouldn't behave so appallingly and make life awkward for others, as this crowd did, are we losing the Decent Irish and ending up with the dregs?
If so ignore your usual prejudice, look a little closer to home, we don't need this!
(Yes I know they aren't proper Irish they are the other ones).
Forgive me for not naming them, put it down to my P.C. upbringing, If I did mention the type I'd be a proper little Tinker.
