No. It was the inhabitants of England before the Anglo-Saxons arrived who took the language of the conqueror and "improved" it, so it isn't just the Irish.

I don't thank the Continental Europeans for the things they have given the world.

Whilst us Brits have given the world Parliamentary democracy, Continentals have given the world Communism, Naziism and Socialism.

A real hoot recently was when three guys were having a friendly convo over coffee or dinner or whatever.......one a French bloke (Chirac), the second a German (Schroeder) and the third guy a Russian (Stalin).

Topic: What had the British (from the land where the "food quality" was worse only in Finland) ever given to Europe apart from "mad cow disease".

Strange that.....just consider the really wholesome characters each of their own countries had bestowed upon the European Continent over the years........Napolean.....Hitler......and Stalin.

Ok -Ok -Ok Britain spawned Cruella de Vil .....aka Margaret Thatcher.... but her main weapons of mass destruction were only her handbag and her tongue.

I thought the whole point of "Snatch" was that it had characters NOBODY understood!
