    Grey clouds above, sunshine too.
    Irish weather makes fun of you.
    Umbrellas ripped away from your hand.
    Then glorious warmth all across the land.
    No one knows what it is that they should wear.
    Raincoats and shorts, some people just don't care.
    Irish fashion is very strange to behold.
    It may seem to be warm and suddenly it's cold.
    If you visit here, you had best prepare.
    It's nothing like you have experienced over there.
    But one thing is for sure, the fun will never end.
    If you make an Irish person your life long friend.

    We don't have time for poetry when we are about the very serious
    business of drinking and fighting.

    The Danes, Norsemen, Vikings, came to Ireland
    around 1000 A D. Their influence was very prominent
    in the 12th century. We have had ever since then a long
    association with the people of Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

    Danes, Norsemen, Vikings lived to fight back in those days. Were they Natural Allies of the Irish against Common Foes?

    The vikings settled around the year 1100.

    Lots of Viking blood in Ireland. Especially on the east coast where I am.

    Christcurch Cathedral is regarded as a Viking church and just up
    the road from it is The Brazen Head bar, reputed to be the oldest
    pub in Dublin city. Established in the year 1198.

    They do great food in there.
