Being Irish is all about driving in a German car to a pub, watching English football, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian Tikka Masala, Chinese chicken curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American TV shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most Irish thing of all? ?..The suspicion of all things foreign!
Some amazing 'Oirish' facts !!!
1. Only in Ireland can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in Ireland do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
3. Only in Ireland do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
4. Only in Ireland do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
5. Only in Ireland do we leave cars worth thousands of ?'s on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
6. Only in Ireland do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
7. Only in Ireland would there be disabled parking places in front of the ice-skating rink in Smithfield, Dublin.
NOT TO MENTION?..
8. 3 Irish die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
9. 142 Irish were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
10. 58 Irish are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
11. 31 Irish have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
12. 19 Irish have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.
13. Irish Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents.
14. 18 Irish had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
15. A massive 543 Irish were admitted to A&E in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth.
16. 5 Irish were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextric cars.
and finally...
17. In 2000, eight Irish were admitted to hospital with 'fractured skulls' incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet bowl!!
Nobody can beat the "Oirish" at taking the p!ss outta themselves !!!
Ireland - Love it, or Leave it
