Ah, I get you, sorry about that! :)
Have a pleasant evening and don't let the fools bother you. They literally don't know what they're talking about.
I know, my judgement get clouded when I see their posts here, and elsewhere - I just hate them, but I should approach things more calmly!
They believe the IRA just a bunch of patriots they hear about on old Clancy Brother records.
LOL! No one actually wears those Aran sweaters over here! ;)
What! There goes half my wardrobe!
I used to go to New York every couple of years. While there I always made it to Tommy Makem's for dinner and entertainment at least once. I remember sitting in their quietly minding my own business once (it was early in the evening) when so great Irish patriots from Boston took the table next to me and were thrilling each other with their own personal knowledge and experience with "the troubles".
I almost spit my Harp Ale (sorry, I hate Guiness) when one went into detail about his wonderful time with a "lovely Colleen" in a cottage on the shore of Gall-o-way Bay.
I leaned over and asked him if that was near Galway Bay. He informed me the locals call it Galloway Bay.
Hold on I_T, what about the Yank tourists? Makes them dead easy to spot - anyone in a brand new Aran and hideous shades of green is bound to be a Plastic Pat.
Seriously I_T, don't let the eejits provoke you, we don't want you to get yourself banned!
