why are the brits/irish so horrid to each other

To take the pee out of someone....to insult them even (bearing in mind there is a very fine line in that area) is only done to people you feel are not only Friends but ones you know wont take you the wrong way.The smilies help of course whilst doing this.....example.....Winkle I cant stand you............Now look at....Winkle I cant stand you:D:wah::p;)Big difference.The truth is to people you cant really have a laugh with.... you stay away from unless of course you are here purely for the debates in which case none of this will be true in their case.

Yep to be insulted is indeed an honour:D......except when you know without a shadow of a doubt the words are for real and when that happens.....in my case.....that person no longer exists.

Can you take the mick out of a paddy?

I myself have never taken the **** out of jimbo not being up to his level of patter, besides his mate rambo gets annoyed at me and inarticulately mumbles me to death. I suppose the scottish equivalent would be hambo (hamish get it:D)

why are the brits/irish so horrid to each other

I thonk it's the sheer release in not having to explain you are kidding, not being deliberately insulting, the comment is not meant to be taken personally, disagreement is not the same as personally disliking someone.

i guess a few people might take a sneaky shot at oscar but boy would i get it

That's not nice. I'll have you know I have a real soft spot for daily mail reader woman. It's a deep bog in the far north west of scotland

He's a Presbyterian-a son of the manse he can't tax sex cause he would have to talk about it. You think catholics have guilt complexes you should try talking to a wee free.

We value the differences is all, this idea of britishness and british culture is ludicrous, go from one town to the other and you get not only different accents but different cultures, shepton mallet has loads in common with newcastle for instance. just imagine telling a yorkshireman that they are the same common culture as one from lancashire- Or someone from liverpool that they are the same culture as a cockney, the only thing they have in common would be the argument that followed and the desire to beat the **** out the plonkers coming out with the nonsense. It's only new labour shitting itself that the scots might vote SNP instead of labour and they would kiss goodbye to ever governing again.

You think this is bad? Have a look at the BBC Rugby chat forum. The Anglo/Welsh banter can go nasty at the drop of a hat. Blame appears to be 50/50 either side of the Severn.

The truth? The truth is that in Scotland, Wales and Ireland there is a huge weight of historical resentment of the English, because England was the biggest and most powerful State in these islands, particularly after the Normans introduced effective "modern" government (ie Feudalism). Being the biggest, England tended to set the political agenda and win the resulting wars. It's arguable that the very existence of Scotland was a reaction against expansionist Anglo-Saxon monarchs.

The result is that there is a genuine resentment and this isn't really surprising. What is surprising is that there isn't more hate. It's only a couple of years since we and the Irish stopped killing eachother and the peace is still pretty fragile.

One thing I have noticed changing since I were a nipper is that 30 years ago most English had no idea that there was this resentment (beyond the IRA). Nowadays they are generally well aware of it.

A very well articulated point clodhopper, yes there is resentment, and a certain techyness sometimes with the smaller nations on these Islands because of the reality of English dominance for so long, but real hatred is waning now, and hopefully that process will continue, as this is a small little bit of the world and we are all more similar than different really.

That said, UP IRELAND! EIRE ABU, GO WAN YOU MAD THINGS, JACKS ARMY 1990 WORLD CUP WAS OURS REALLY, WE HAVE PROPER BUTTER, OUR BANKERS ARE EVEN MORE SCREWY THAN YOURS, THATS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

If you said norman you might have had a case. You may have forgotten but the anglo saxon monarch got the crap kicked out of them by the nasty normans.

Maybe you have to spill a lot of blood to learn how to get over the hate. we're (the UK that is) also friendly with the french and germans now as well. Going to war again seems a bit unlikely.
