[Rapparee2]

Hi Rapparee here. Any Irish here? Be glad to hear from you. I was born in Dublin and moved to London. Never ever met any I rsih weho are Anarchists.

[canikickit]

There are approximatly one hundred thousand Irish people who consider them selves members of this board. For an incomplete list go here (http://www.che-lives.com/cgi/community/topic.pl?forum=19&topic=291).

Beware the ides of march.

[BOZG]

I'm from Ireland but nationalism is a waste of time. There's quite a big Irish Anarchist base.

Workers Solidarity Movement (http://www.struggle.ws/wsm.html)

Anarchist Federation Ireland (http://www.afireland.cjb.net)

Syndicalist Solidarity Network (http://www.flag.blackened.net/revolt/ssn.html)

Grassroots Gathering (http://grassrootsgathering.freeservers.com/)

[munkey soup]

Feck those bogmen. Nothing but a bunch of illiterate, wife-beating, potato-eating, drunken romantics. I come from the planet [cannot be comprehended by humans].

I'm not a bogman! Bogmen are those mummies they find in bogs/swamps. So there :P (but no, really, what do you guys mean by 'bogman'??)

OH!! Hicks from the sticks, lol. No, I live in a relatively urban area, But torontonians would probably consider us as rural, whatever to them :P

"hi every body,
i happen to be from ireland as well. i hate all those gay capitalists people who think they rule the place. My aim in life is to build a giant space shuttle and go into space and shoot a giant lazer through both tony blair and george bush's eye."

[chamo]

hey weird person

[mjd]

Hey everybody, im irish. That would be some trick lordhaggisoftheshire, I agreee with happyguy that you are weird.

[RedCeltic]

I'm Irish American, but quite distanced from Ireland. My family moved from Ireland to Scotland and than New York. Most of my family live in Scotland.

But there are so many people of Irish decent here in New York, more than the most populated cities in Ireland. And we have a disinct culture different than Italian Americans, Polish Americans, African Americans, etc...

However it's probobly very different than that of Ireland, or Irish Canadians, Irish Australians, etc..

That's something about our race... we've spread to the ends of the earth, probobly more so than any other ethnic group. :biggrin:

[elisabeth]

My friends say that I must have been Irish in a former life... well, I love Ireland, I drink a lot of Guinness, I admire James Connolly, and my mail address ends in .ie ... does this count as well...?

[canikickit]

There are 40 million people of Irish decent in the US. It's too many. Come home, come home. Nah, you're not wanted.

Why the hell was this in inverted commas. You crazy bastard. Tog e go bog e.

[BOZG]

Tog e go bog e.

Why the hell aren't there any fadas on those e's?

[canikickit]

I don't know how to do fadas. There's a fada in fada, where is your fada.

[chamo]

What? Tony Blair and George Bush share one eye? That explains alot.

[BOZG]

That was the point of my post. Fool.

Hold Alt and then press the numbers on the right hand keypad.

[chamo]

Is it not just Ctrl+Alt and the subsequent letters. I dunno how you learned to do it the hard way. ÁÉÍÓÚ áéíóú easy as that.

[BOZG]

Well I learned to do it that way, years ago, back on Windows 95 and I've always just done it that way.

[elisabeth]

I'm not Irish, I'm half Swiss half Czech and tracing ancestors... the 40 millions are Irish as well, just think of the fact that GWB is originally Scottish!!!

[Irish Republican]

Im Irish (obviousley, ha ha)

[canikickit]

What's the craic man? There's too many Irish people here.

[chamo]

Tog é go bog é.
There's not enough

[canikickit]

Cá bhfuil tú i do chonaí, Irish Republican?

Happyguy, an bhfuil tú ag stadéir Gaelige san scoil?


Tóg mé é go bog é gach lá, gan amhras.

[chamo]

ar bith múinteoirí Gaeilge
so I know none. That probably meant shit all as well

[praxis1966]

I'm third generation irish in the u.s. My mother's maiden name was O'Keefe; her grandfather from County Cork. Although, when my grandfather went back a couple of years ago to try and find some long lost relatives, he couldn't. Apparently, all of my family got run out 75-80 years ago by the English, probably due to their involvement with the I.R.B. and/or the Knights of Feina. By the way, know where I can learn Gaelic KIKI

[MEXCAN]

Go here http://www.inac.org/irishlanguage/index.php

[canikickit]

You can learn Irish in most Irish schools. I bet that is extremely helpful. :bigrgrin:

I'd imagine there is a lot of places out there in cyber space where you can try and learn Irish. I think there are quite a few organisations over there in the US also.


Thanks to the power of google (which you've probably heard of), I came across these sites:

http://www.maths.tcd.ie/gaeilge/gaelic.html

That's from Trinity College where some of those great guys like Wolfe Tone went.

Ha ha, Im not the best at Irish mate, but I think the answer to your question is Co. Armagh (Also the home of the All Ireland Champions)

(Edited by Irish Republican at 10:03 pm on Jan. 27, 2003)

[chamo]

Irish Republican from Armagh. I'm from Belfast myself. As for Trinity I may go there or to Queen's. How is Trinity for law?

[canikickit]

But,can you tell me what is MANX and what is the difference with IRISH??

I don't know what you are talking about. Manx what? Manx cats have no tails, Irish has many tales....


How is Trinity for law?

Unruly. Very unruly.

No, I don't have a clue, it would be a good coolege to go to because it'sright in the city centre, that's all I know.

Graduates from Trinity also have the right to kill catholics, which can come in handy on a saturday night. Well, so I've heard, as I'm sure you are aware it was a exclusively protestant school before, and seemingly that rule was never taken out.

[canikickit]

I think I have heard something...Manx is the language of the Isle of Man?

It's funny, I don't really know anything about the Isle of Man. I had pretty much forgotten it existed until the arrival of the member, hegmonicretribution. It's not as if I would have dismissed its existence, I guess I just have not thought about it until recently.

Anyway, meaningless garbage aside, I would imagine that the differences are sleight, but noticeable.

There is quite a big difference between Scottish and Irish.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Manx are the Celtic peoples from the Isle of Man.Located in the Irish Sea. It's a small nation technically.It is owned and controlled by England (my second favorite imperialist nation).I believe that it was purchased(that's right. A nation was bought) for 70,000 pounds in the late 1700's. Very nice place to visit.

[Resorte]

I have relatives in Feakle, although I'm sure they are not anarchists! With a town name like feakle, I'm sure they don't do a lot of speaking up either!
