An Irishman is sitting in the pub with his wife when he says, "I love you." She asks, "Is that you or the beer talking?" He replies, "It's me, talking to the beer."

Kells is a great spot too.

@neviusprime Yep, it is! I'll have to add a link to it in the information block.

Proves that if you want Scottish music done right, you get Irishmen to play it! :3

How does any Irishman have a little scot inside? The word Scotland comes from the Latin word Scottus which means Irishman! More like every Scot has a little Irishman inside!

@dotsie1978"Latin word..means Irishman! More like every Scot has a little Irishman inside!"

Incorrect. Patrick talks about two races inhabiting Ireland the Hiberni and the Scoti (new comers). Scot is derived from Scythia. Scyt and Scot were synonymous. The Latin appellation "Scoti" is derived from the native British appellation Y-Scot. "Irish" is a 16th century Papist name imposed on the Scots of Ireland by Pope Leo X in the 16th century. Every Irishman has got Hibernian and Scottish ancestry.

@TheMcCurdyClan Here is the history of scotland. Around the ice age some people known as the picts walked across the frozen waters and settled in what is now scotland. The Scotti (an irish tribe) came over and mixed with the picts, then the norwegians raided the north and mixed with the "scots" and thats how the scot is made up of. Pict, scotti, and a little norwegian. And btw the McCurdy clan IS scottish :)

Why are we all fighting about Ireland and scotland? We should be friends not foes! some of the irish helped found scotland! Both the bagpipes and the irish Uilleann pipes sound great! Please lads lets stop all this fightin and listen tae some great tunes :)

[dotsie1978]

@seonidh Ireland has existed as a country since the last ice age. The irish people all over the island shared a common language, religion, style of dress, warfare, music and adhered to Brehon laws long before the 11th century.

[seonidh]

The Turkish invented the pipes Scoits and Irish didnt

[seonidh]

@dotsie1978 no it means Gael as ireland didnt exist as a country till the 11th century.

[allanmacd1980]

Bloody hell, have you people got nothing better to argue over?! Who gives a shit who created the pipes! Its like China and Japan fighting over who invented noodles!!
