587115 Does ogall take offence at Irish people celebrating their saint knowing most Irish things annoy him?

I actually welcome the revenue that Brits like yourself bring in.


love it too!! and this jibe coming from from someone who is automatically a British citizen themselves ( cornish parent) even if he doesn't get
that passport...The irony is priceless!!

The irony is clearly lost on you. I saw some "Settlers" down in Conemarra at the weekend. Shall i get the burning cross? or will you take care of it this time?

I was at the Glasgow Festival in Garngad at weekend. it's the most unique festival in the world as alcohol is banned. Plenty of great music and we made a few bob for our mini bus appeal at the same time. One of the dividends of the peace process is that these type of events are getting bigger and more family orientated.

patrique

Strangely Irish people in Ireland by and large do NOT celebrate St Patrique's day, our beloved French Saint.


I was goin to actually call the title of this thread 'St Patriques Day', but then i thought it would bring too much attention on you.

We know you dont really like being in the lime-light!!

Where do the "nationalists" stand on the St Patrick issue


1. He was Britsish
2. He was a settler on this island
3. He did not assimilate to existing religous beliefs
4. He did not assiinilate to existing Ecological structures in his treatment of our snakes

There are a few more you could add
1. He learned the vernacular
2. He did not take the land or wealth by force
3. He did not introduce any laws to the detriment of the idigenous people.
4. He did not demand allegience to any foreign Power.
5. He used the local flora to educate the Indigenous peoples in his Faith.
6. He did not declare the existing faiths as being outlawed and punish those who practised it.

Not the typical Englishman that visited these shores I would think

I believe that one of the most multicultural nationalities are the Irish. we are a dolly mixture package of peoples and we have travelled all over the world spreading more often than not the good things of our culture. There are plenty of examples of where the opposite is true but are far outweighed by the good we have brought to the world. I would personally open our borders to all comers from every where and every culture so that our Culture might be further enriched by all the new comers. All I would ask is that any and all new comers to ireland would not attempt to convert us or worse force conversion upon us.

Indeed ogall settlers is a good word. Many of us in the 32 counties are from IRISH folk who have been settled on this island for centuries, how about you? My mother's people were ekeing out a living from the land in Galway when yours were digging tin out of the Cornish mines. I have NO qualms about who or what I am, you seem to. As for hipster YELP YELP YELP YELP..........like Scrappy Doo hanging on to Scooby's legs.
