Is it just me, or has 90% of the irish on this site got some fascination with cows?
Either their names have a reference to "moo" or they have a cow as an avatar....
I find it quite funny, but I would like to know if there is something very sinister going on.

My family immigrated from County Cork, and I was born in Canada, but.....I still like to tip the odd cow once in awhile...

My family came from Galway County, but has been here in the US for 6 generations (around 150 years), and the only thing that has to do with cows, is my state.

I swear to thor, you yanks crease me up.
A great proportion of you always come out with these "im teh irish" type comments, but the fact is that you are probably fooking polish or German...
This yankl couple, whome I met when I was living in birmingham, were telling me that they were off to ireland a few days later, as they were off to visit the town they believe they were from generations ago...
I asked them what the name of the town was...and they replied "Basildon"...at which point I fooking spat my beer down myself, and ended hysterically laughing in their faces....they insisted though that this town was in Ireland, even after I told them it was in fooking essex....I laugh to this day about it.
Oh, and btw MTG and Glide, having seen your pics, I can safely say that the pair of you look as Irish, as I look like a pigmy crossed with a Tibetan monk.

I've been in the States for a while and I've noticed that being either of Irish or Italian descent makes you superior apparently.

We are all brothers by Adam (Biblical)...
But I think that Norse is absolutely wright! Then I could claim that I'm Hungarian (1/16) or Austrian(1/16) or Bosnian(1/8)...

I see...... self-delusionary flattery...
Even I know that one...
Anyone with half a brain would have done their research before travelling out...I mean I couldn't believe the sheer ignorance of it...the only explanation I could think of, is that they got the name wrong...

About 98% of the country is Greek Orthodox. Unless you swear to the Gyro Man or the guy who created the Olympics.

Does greece not still teach about the mythology though? I used to love the greek stories. Jason and the argonauts is still one of my best all time films.

Actually, I still have family over there, we send them Christmas cards every year.
Not to mention that nearly all of my ancestors are of Irish background, with a couple being from Germanic backgrounds.
