Walleee Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Being Irish myself, I thought i'd either find the extremley funny or absurd, but I simply don't understand it........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 grit makes things grippy, bobsleighs rely on having as little friction as possible (to get down the hill fastest) so gritting it would tottaly ruin the chance of getting down the hill fast due to the excess frictionBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I have left school mate.I can see how the stupidity may be remotley funny, but what's the Irish significance, how is an Irish person any more funny than an english/american/indian asking for the same thing? I am really confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramps Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 English people are so far up there own arse they think they are above every one else. I know i am one. So we find it funn when other nationalities are took the piss out of. There is also a big thing about the Irish being unintelligent, which i am sure is not true.

Endohopper Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Just for some perspective , we Dutch traditionally mock the Belgians . But then they are , well ...kinda Belgian at times , really . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricalum Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 But the thing is, pritty much everyone in the Uk and any other countries have ansestors from different countries. Britain's population is made up of so many different countries, becuase of vikings, normans, romans ect invading us. None one is acctually fully British, therefore I dont really see why people are racist , facsist. Why do you make fun of people from irland anyway?

Tony Harrison Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Would it be suffice to say judging you, the english are c**ts too?Perhaps. Either way I wouldn't take it that personally.As it happens I haven't been to Ireland, but I have some good Irish friends and once went out with an Irish girl. They're all cool people, but they can take a joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 jake1516, leave it. we know you are irish and probably patriotic, it wasn't offencive and doesn't need confrontation. every nation has to have another country/stereotype to take the piss out of (because its fun) in england its blondes, gays and the irish. im sure all the irish lot take the piss out of some people. even if its a religeon of some sort. my post wasnt to start a fight, but was to try and explain why we feel the need to mock people.
