    One thing I learnt in Ireland is you better have a thick skin because no quarter is given when it comes to slagging and taking the piss. And the more you take yourself seriously and the more they will gang up until you learn to shut the fuck up. Absolutely love it.

        Funny thing, that…

        Nearly a third of Aussies claim Irish heritage. And a lot of those families ended up there because of, you guessed it, the Famine.
