      Weren't the Irish instrumental in beating the French at Waterloo (along with the Prussians).

      Just wondered
      Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

      Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

        Wellington was Irish. Quite a life; beat the French, ran the country for a while and still found time to invent waterproof boots. More than the Scots pillock ever managed.

            Monsieur,

            I put it to you, that you are about as French as my late Aunt Dorris, who was in fact half Dutch and half Irish.

            You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    Do you still live in Paris? Or anywhere in La Belle France?

                      I would live in Norway during the summer months and UK & Europe the rest of the time.
