I was not sure where to put this, so it will have to be here.
Some here know I have a blog where I post pretty much the same stuff I do
here and did on LL,
As a matter of fact it was the debates in LL that prompted me to go public
as it were.
One of the tools I have on the website tracks what country a reader came from
out of the 130 countries I have gotten hits from, I have noticed for some time
that I seem to be popular in Ireland,
Their count has been creeping up the list and now it is very close to the country in
second place after the US, Canada.
Now the US has about 215 Million internet users, Canada about 22 Million
and Ireland 2 Million
So for Ireland to be about equal with Canada is impressive but I am getting maybe
4 times the percentage of Irish Internet users than I am US.
About 20& of my traffic is international,
Thanks a lot. Y'al

Irish people are genetically disturbed and they will talk to anything which moves .
They love flattery and will usually talk for an hour or so just on flattery fuel and regardless of whether you are listening or are even there .
Say " Jesus yez" regularly . They will think you are family .

Whyever in the world would you believe the Irish require their audience be mobile?
I've always been under the impression they preferred their audiences spellbound.
On the off chance they were not so already, they would soon be once regaled with the tales of a true Irishman.

Well they might be family. Family legend tells that one of my ancestors
was one of the children stolen by the Great London Trading Company and
sold into indentured servatude in the New World.
She had a small gold bell, the only thing left of her life in Ireland, and while
she went back many years later, she never did find out who were family were.
So in that line and a few other s I have Irish relatives probably
I also am decended from an English Horsethief named Puckett an ancient
Anglo-Saxon name, so we might be related to ;)

Oh I meant to mention, my youngest brother has done extensive geneology work and all the collateral branches leading from the girl kidnapped from Ireland have the same story and one family has the bell.

Sounds like you have been a willing victim to that now rather old scam of " Give A Yank a load of Horseshite and he will give you a load of dollars"
It is quite clear ( to Americans only ) that all Americans--- black , white and all the middle shades -- are related to a poor Irish family or unlucky English forbears , and bells , pressed flowers and statues of the blessed St Dickhead all abound .
It is amazing that Team GB did not sink under protest at the knowledge of how many future crooks and thieves it would be held responsible for spawning .
There are exceptions like Deer Reindeer whose lineage is Hispanic and out of the slums of Mexico City .
