you dont have a problem because noone would talk to you anyway


i find the Irish are very well liked here. and for some reason the Scots and the Irish are like family.
when i bump into someone Irish, its like meeting someone you have known for ages lol

You could do a lot of damage bumping into someone, irish or not big lad

yep that is right!........in my experience with my australian friends and family etc.....there is no judgement on an individual based on their race. it is all to do with how they are personaly regardless of which country they are from or born in.......

in my family alone.i have a

brother in law who is Japanese

a half sister and brother who are philipino

a step mother who is Native American Indian

a half sister who is australian aboriginal

and i have a Canadian husband and step children

and my first ancestors arrived in Australia from Scotland and England in the mid 1800s, they were amongst the very first free settlers...

my father jokes at times and says.....we have our own united nations happening!!!

I do love the way David Coutald and Andy murray behave,

thats so typical of the need for identity due to inadequacy of accepting who they are.
