I was in Ireland and Scotland approx 6 years ago for 3 months with a friend was stationed there with the RAF. I have little family left in Ireland according to one study of the family tree and I have considered having others done in the future because of the inaccuracyies many say plague these studies. I have however viewed my great grandparents citizenship papers when they came to America from Ireland (listed as their country of origin) as well as their paperwork from arriving at Ellis Island N.Y. many many moons ago.

Parihaka,

The British are actually odd little tykes.

Damned eccentric.

As cold as eels.

Actually, the odd fish are the English blokes. The others of the UK are OK since they too are looked down upon by the English.

I find the English very interesting, especially when they are in India. They are great Joes then.
