I believe I have about 1/16 Irish in me anyway.
So if the Aboriginals can claim to be Aboriginal with even less than that in them, then I sure as hell can claim to be Irish if I want to.
Now, do I want to?

[Templar]

Before you get too carried away with your 'wee' people, I thought you would want to know that neither I nor William will be kissing your blarney stone anytime soon.

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN?
                   YOUR SERVANT AND FRIEND.......THE TEMPLAR

[Templar]

I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT ASPECT ----I UNDERSTAND NOW AND WISH NO OFFENCE--------WAS THAT THE SAME WILLIAM DUKE OF CUMBERLINE WHO DEFEATED THE SCOTS AT THE BATTLE OF CULLODEN OR ARE THEY TW0 DIFFERENT WILLIAMS?----
 WELL ANYWAY--I WOULD DRINK BUSHMILLS AS WELL AS JAMEISONS---ON ANY DAY

     YOUR SERVANT AND I HOPE FRIEND........THE TEMPLAR

  P.S.I WOULD NOT KISS THE BLARNEY STONE EITHER----I HEAR WHAT THE IRISH DO ON THE STONE AFTER THE TOURISTS GO HOME............

[scottishmoney]

William of Orange, ie William III of England and Ireland, and II of Scotland(1689-1702).  "Stinking" Billy, Duke of Cumberland defeated the Jacobites at Culloden Moor in 1746.

My ancestors were Orange and Green, so really I don't find disfavour with either and am right proud of my Scots-Irish, an' Irish heritage, in addition to the Scots of course.  I grew up with a taste of that IRA/UVF cr@p and could care the less for either. 

[scottishmoney]

Why does everybody wanna kiss some stupid old germy stone?  Canna figure that out in a country where they have a higher ratio of redheaded women than anywhere else an' I know the lasses would be more the inviting my pucker than some stupid rock.

Scottishmoney what NOTE did SHE come off of? 

[AdamL]

I'm 75% German. 25% Irish. My dad's mom was an O'Brien, and our branch of the O'Briens supposedly trace ou ancestry back to Brian Boru, Prince of Munster, oft credited with driving the vikings out of Ireland. Anyway, happy St. Patty's day!

[Triggersmob]

I think my ancestors might have been one of those vikings.

I simply can not even immagine anyone having to be driven out of Ireland.  Surely you are joking!!!!!!

Yep, only fools stayed there - the good ones got out whilst the going was good.

[Templar]

MAYBE THEY WERE NOT DRIVEN OUT OF IRELAND........COULD BE THEY TOOK A BUS
