Ripper Street series 3

[Steadmund Brand]

I just finished shopping at the Neato Shop, and wanted to say their tee sizes go up to 6XL, and their designs are very broad, if you dig sci-fi, fantasy, science, video games, even sports (not much in real-life professional teams, though). Their sale ends the 26th.

Gut, I came across a site called IrishCentral, apparently for Americans of Irish descent, and found some interesting articles there. I discovered the origin of the term "Black Irish" (which my father always said we were) is very vague and obscure, but probably not related to the Spanish Armada.
Also noted that they mentioned a clothing company named Look Human has a tee slogan making light of the Potato Famine -- which was anything but a lighthearted time, as you know. Way to offend in the name of ethnic humor: "My Potatoes Bring All the IRISH to the Yard, and They're Like that Famine was so Hard."

Personally as an American of Irish decent (who's family did come to America due to the famine) I have no problem with the jokes....other than they aren't very funny.. but I make so many Potato Famine jokes it's fine... we all need to lighten up... just so long as there isn't another famine!!!! I loves me my Taters!!!!
The way we were treated in America (the Irish) is far more offensive than potato jokes....but I still don't have any problems with jokes about that ( RE: Blazing Saddles... one of the best jokes in film history!!!)

Basque,Irish,Welsh......all Greek to me.

Interesting, DJA. I have heard that the Basque language has no relation to any other tongue on Earth. Do you know if that is true?

[DJA]

Suspect Basque genetics have much to do with the Black Irish.

My hair was jet black and I'd tan a dark brown.

Also identify with Basque cuisine. Yummy.

Sensible choice. My Irish ancestors came to America earlier than that, though.

Yeah I had plenty come out way earlier than the 1860's too.

Bit of a tiff you lot had in the 1860s saw many of us Irish/Scottish head for Oz instead.

Steadmund Brand

Not that play Aussie rules anyway, if it was Union or League it'd be no worries.

[Steadmund Brand]

Do they make them that big, there's a certain top I've been hunting to fit you darn hard.

Great for Ripperologists too, I suspect.
