Funny how you've heard so many "not so nice" things from the Irish. I have NEVER encountered that. They don't even hold it against me that my blood is English, though we do joke about that.

You ever think it's because of your own attitude?

That old story about the two couples who stopped along their way to a town and asked a man along the way, "What are the people like there?" The man answers, "Well what are the people like where you came from?" The couple answers that the people were mean and hateful where they came from. The person says, "Well, you'll find them the same where you're going."

The second couple asks the same question, and responds that the people where they came from were wonderful, nice and helpful. The man answers, "You'll find them the same where you're going."

Take a look in the mirror pal.
