He he, every time I say that to someone I want to make reference to Little Britain, but of course no-one out here has a clue about that reference:
I LOVE Little Britain they will not have a clue haha!!!
My Dads side has some Irish not sure the full story but yes it is a confusing name :) I bet they all love you out there? I love Irish Accent :)
I guess not that weird - there's seven times more "Irish Americans" than Irish in Ireland. But Irish people are obsessive compulsive about discovering the links between them and other Irish when they're abroad....he he, the next time an Irish person asks you that pretend to be Irish and you'll see that you will soon get interrogated as to where you grew up, where you studied, where you worked, the places you've lived, who you know in those places....they're like a dog with a bone. You will soon be sniffed out as a fraud.
They are clueless here, half of them mis-hear and go away thinking that I'm from Holland or Iceland. After a year here one of my best friends introduced me as dutch to someone else! If they have heard of Ireland usually the maximum of their knowledge is "U2!!!". I then have to explain that most Irish people don't even like U2.
