Justify your "Irish" roots.

[Father Heathen]

I like potatoes.

 

[ChristineM]

Any exchange of DNA?

One guy often askes "Are you sure you've got no oirish in you?"

Me. Yes. Sure...

Him "do you want some?". With that winning Irish smile...

 

[Martin]

Any desire to move to Ireland?

Yes, but its not a practical proposition. So I create Ireland where I am.

Guaranteed membership.

Being Irish is a wonderful thing, but we have to deal with a lot of people claiming to be Irish with little real evidence. For example, some people think that being able to quote lines from "Father Ted" gets you an Irish passport. It's a little bit more feckin complicated than that, Mrs Doyle.
Or: "My great grandmother might have been in steerage on the Titanic, at least going by the filum."

So if you claim Irish roots, where's your evidence?

Daft answers only, please.

"Irish" of course comes from the Hebrew words Ir-Ish (עיר איש) which means "city man". Being from the city, I am therefore Irish.

Intellectuals are always welcome, though we'll have to check with the Welsh. Make your mark here.

the Welsh

Who?

 

[Martin]

Who?

In the valleys, with the coal mines and sheep. Welch?

Not ringing a bell. Maybe I need to get out more.

Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains are nice to walk on. The toffs choose Snowdonia.

Kuhnigits with their so called Arthur King! Thats who they are! They're mothers are hamsters, their fathers smell of elderberries, and they're empty headed animal food trough wipers.

Ah, that'd be for me, then. By the way, "toff" in Hebrew means "drum".

 

[RabbiO]

I have a couple of red hairs in my beard.

Does that count?

If I had a couple of red hairs in my beard my wife would have a lot of questions for me.

 

[Viker]

Was that daft or draft?

 

[Stevicus]

Welch?

I remember Raquel Welch.

Anything to do with Father Ted?

My family got kicked out of Scotland because they were too rowdy....so they went to Ireland....and got kicked out again because they were to Protestant...not sure if that makes me Irish....but they were there...at least until they got kicked out...... they went on to get kicked out of Canada too....Ended up in Pennsylvania..... where, as hard as they tried...they never got kicked out of...

My name is Erin and my surname is also Irish. My family is Irish.

I’m adopted, but that magically means I’m still Irish right?

(Ok bio mother surname could be Irish too but still, this reasoning is daft)
