And by "now and again" you mean every single post you've ever graced us with on ESB?

 

:rofl:rofl

brilliant:good

 

i love the effort put into these threads if nothing else

 

geaneolgy terms all rooneys grand parents are irish
by blood hes more irish than me but at the end of the day hes english

 

You clearly don't spend much time in the far east.

 

Funny thing is Rodney is actually part Irish traveller and one of his great grand fathers was a champion bare knuckle boxer called Celtic tiger rooney.

 

If you were born in a country and consider yourself to be a citizen of that country then you ****ing are, though it doesn't mean you can't recognise your heritage. A girl I know has 2 parents born in China, but she was born in Glasgow, speaks in a Glasgow accent and is culturally very British, if you ask her she will say she considers herself to be Scottish/British of Chinese descent. I would consider her to have more claim to being Scottish than some **** from America who has never been here but likes to consider themselves Scottish because their second name is Wallace. Rooney might be of Irish descent, but he grew up in England, plays for England and has a big ****ing St George Cross tattoo on his arm. To me that makes him very much English. He is proud of his Irish heritage, but that doesn't make him Irish.

 

The thing is that these days when its so easy to move around the world at the drop of a hat that it isnt as simple as how you have outlined it in the first line.

Two people born to Irish parents in say London for example, one might consider himself Irish, the other might not. Neither would bother me but I would respect their decision and have a bit of an open mind about it.

As I said elsewhere, there are people born in Ireland that consider themselves British, I respect that. There are people born in Britain that consider themselves Irish, I respect that also. Quite simple really. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to someones nationality.

 

by not fighting price

 

A freind of mines son was born in u.s.a., they were only there 6 month, never been back, he has an american birth certificate, yet this lads uncle was born in uk, has u.s. accent ,lived in u.s for about 40yrs, WHO'S THE MOST AMERICAN?

 

Exactly.

A Nigerian Asylum Seeker gives birth to a child and is deported back to Nigeria six months later and the child never returns to Ireland even though it has an Irish passport - a child in born in London to two Irish parents, lives in an "Irish area", plays Irish sports etc but only visits Ireland on holiday. Who is the most Irish.

Theres no hard and fast rule.

 

What times ive been on the ferrys to ireland, theres nearly always a traveler with his caravan, or big van going one way or other, if thats there home, well at least for a period of time there living in ireland, the rules may be different for them, as they dont have to buy and sell property, could take everything to an from ireland or most of europe in 1 day.:good
