NO. I am not Irish. Oh sure I look it, with the red hair and freckled skin the sickly hue of skim milk, but I'm not Irish. Yes I know my first and surname name originate from (and are the same as) counties in Ireland, but it's a mere coincidence. And even though my family tree can only be traced back to England for two generations (the point where my ancestors arrived from some other British Isle) I'm sure they didn't come from Ireland. Nope. I'm English alright. A bit Scot and Welsh too perhaps. But no Irish.
St. Patrick was a Brit you know.

I'M NOT FUCKING JEWISH!

I'm obliged to hate you now. Or at least, when my Irish-Italian-Lebanese-Scottish neice grows up, you'll have to answer to her. And that's a fearsome combination.
