Claire , honestly I'd have given him a dawk
Know that sounds bad but in all fuckin fairness
He's a thick or ignorant whure

My husband is just the type who laughs things off and then subtly takes the piss!
Unless he's driving

People who don’t know the name of the country. It’s Ireland or Éire. Its NOT the Republic of Ireland.

Calling it "Éire" in English implies either snootiness/snide attitude or a person pretending they are able to speak the Irish language. Bang of an old British newsreel off it.

Maybe. Most use Ireland, which is correct. Unless talking about our soccer team using the term Republic of Ireland is wrong.

Éire refers to the entire island which isn't one country.

Eire sinceCollins sold out the north is a term used by free staters

I know ,but sure I've 2 grandkid in Derry who is a rangers fan
Called Grace and she sings it word 4 word,
Yet refuses point blank to even wear a CCFC top ??
"I've only 1 club grandad,rangers"
She's only 6,
her da my son's from Creggan,she's living in an orange hole,Tullyally,
Her mum won't let her travel to Cork,
Must be afraid I'd convert her
Or God forbid put a Cork GAA top on her,
She's comes to Creggan to watch the old firm game in her orange Rangers gear,and sits next to her Celtic clad cousins???it's gas

She has her own mind

She has her own mind

Didn't we declare ourselves a republic in 1949 or am I mistaken?
