Today Ireland are playing England in an International rugby match of epic proportions,
I know not what God or gods you are venerating, but please petition him or her or
them on my behalf for an Irish victory, a defeat is too painful to contemplate and akin
to a national disaster of Biblical proportions, thanks in advance Robbie.

Despite being British, I've always supported Ireland against England in the rugby - but I back England against Ireland in the cricket. Just wanted to make that clear.
of myself as British, when one is brought up with some links to Ireland as you have and

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell I am not English in any meaningful way. So British is my nationality. And I am comfortable with it. Not being English is a key to it, I think. My Irish "ethnicity" does not translate - at all - into a feeling akin to being an Irish citizen. Which leaves only being British.

In Scotland among Catholics there was great sympathy for it. ok, gotta go, rugby
