"So how's the Queen over there then?"....ClubMan said:At least those who have actually heard of Ireland.
ClubMan said:Just asking nicely sometimes work - especially if you are good at cajoling people or have the gift of the gab and, in some cases, play up to the cute Paddy image that some over there have. At least those who have actually heard of Ireland.
yeah, thats why every Canadian backpacker sticks a maple leaf flag or badge on his\her baggage when they travel around....whenever I see the maple leaf I feel obliged to ask 'which part of the States are you from?'.Eurofan said:I have a close friend who's Canadian, nothing bugs him more than the assumption he's from the States.
Eurofan said:Neither should you assume to know about somewhere such to make remarks like the one i quoted. In fairness the name of a Phillipino language is a far cry from knowing about the existence of Ireland, we've sent enough people all over the world to know about us (usually negative things mind you).
I'm sure people from that part of the world would beg to differ when it comes to a nation of c. 5 million verus a language spoken by 10 times that number of people.Eurofan said:In fairness the name of a Phillipino language is a far cry from knowing about the existence of Ireland
