Just wondering why irish media slow to refer to Ireland as a member of this unfortunate club. Most foreign media use the term and it occurred to me are we a bit sensitive?
I always hear it referred to in the Irish media with us included. I hate the term. Typical London trading floor humour. They must have had a right giggle over their lunchtime pints at that one.
The Greeks seem to like it as i saw a coloured photo of a protest in Athens with the tricolour painted in the I in the word PIGS. In fairness i think we are a little touchy when we are subject to any unfavourable comment.
