I would say nothing apart from the fact that a large number of Irish folk in the recent past months have been notable around the city,in the pubs and the like.

Have Irish renters in two houses very close by. Actually rather refreshing to have them around.

Maybe it's the pikies. Is there a big fat gypsy wedding happnin here someplace? :D

The original poster seems to have a chip in his shoulder with regard to Ireland. I'm wondering what's his agenda here.

I am naturally suspicious given your bigoted comments in the past about the Irish and Ireland. Why the need to mention the "many Irish backpackers flooding into WA"?

Another fact Irish - and very welcome they are too.

You've changed Irish, I think I preferred you when you were spouting your, ahem, 'expert' knowledge about the housing market

I couldn't give a toss what you think. I just felt like highlighting your ignorance for others, as if it were necessary.

Likewise. I've noticed recently that your housing market drivel has dried up to a dribble - I've got to give you some credit for that

Like I just said Irish, there's just facts in what I posted about this accident

If you want to read more into it, then that's your indaba

I have to say that I have wondered the same thing, given the constant derogatory comments about the 'oirish, pikeys, catholics, FTP, scotch etc'. Is there an antipathetic connection between South Africans and Celtic peoples that I am unaware of? I would like to know.

Ever since Rorke's Drift when the Welsh gave them a bit of a pasting. :thumbup:
