Sadly, I don't know much. My biological father was born and raised in Belfast and my grandparents on my biological mother's side are from somewhere near Belfast.

@Witty can elaborate a bit more than me I'm sure, but this raucous drunken land of merry anti-Establishists with a tenancy for bombings exists extremely rarely these days. You know those lads starting fights in the pubs in Boston or New York that invented the "paddy wagon"? Those are the ones who fucked off during the famine who couldn't hack it over in Ireland. Now, the guys you'll find here are people who don't drink too often (if they're under the age of 50) and quite a lot of them have slightly American accents from watching either sitcoms or Anime too often. There are fuck all people my age in Ireland that can go can for can with me in drinking. Most of the country haven't tried Potin before. Most of them couldn't name the current Celtic team. None of them know what a proper bottle of Buckfast tastes like and all of them are bragging about their wins over Germany or Greece, depending on how southern or northern they are. It's not the Ireland you know from TV. Hell most people in Ireland think that drinking in your house makes you an alcoholic.

You see, this is why I love you. Fuck it, we can call them chips, as long as you continue to separate Scottish and British we're always gonna be fuck buddies.

Even 55% of Scotland doesn't get the difference.

I'm guessing the vote didn't cross the border. Scotland got a vote earlier this year I think. Leave Britain (or the UK, whichever one) or not. 55% voted no, hence...I consider myself in the 45% (by proxy, I didnt have the money to travel to vote :()
Some ridiculous shit too. Some videos of guys walking down the street singing anti-independence songs, one some guys ripping a Scotland flag out of a crying teenage girl's hands. I always thought "Why are people bringing British flags to Rangers games? Aren't us Scottish people inherently against Britain?" but I guess I was wrong. People go so wrapped up in some pseudo political shit that they voted no. It's funny cause I think you'd struggle to find a western country that had a major shift as a result of a political change. Ireland fought tooth and nail for it's independence, most of Scotland voted it away. I had to deal with lads in Ireland joking that Scotland "lost" the vote. Embarrassment. The one plus side is Glasgow and everywhere around the area voted Yes. As a result, it only reaffirms my hated of anywhere else in Scotland. In the immortal words of Groundskeeper Willie, "Brothers and sisters are natural enemies, like Englishmen and Scots, or Welsh and Scots, or the Japanese and Scots, and Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland". Groundskeeper Willie represents the 45%

I had jess watch braveheart because I've always loved that movie and she didn't understand how much it represented what I wanted to learn about. I fear Germany and Greece will be just as disappointing if I make it to either of those as well

Timeless is up 1-0. Vivid is up 3-1. Eth is up 3-0. Razah and NYC are tied 3-3. YDK is up 2-0. Mr. J is up 2-1. So realistically only like six people have voted all together lol.
