The pros and cons of marrying an Irishman

its half true at best seriousally some of the writers on this site are so full of crap but yes we are funny and if their is funnier way of looking at things well find find it ha am starting to think irish mammys are writing these articles haha

Indeed several of the mentioned items on the "con" list were true. Mammy did come first! "You are the second most beautiful woman in the world!" "and who's the first?" "Me mum of course!" How can you be upset with that. But "Me mum irons the socks". Well best bring them to her then! Still not the worst, Going "out on a piss" and coming home minus your car...that's bad!

I will never marry an Irish guy- living with one is enough!

Antoinette baby! The flatulence bit ....... have you been seeing an Aussi? Otherwise the rest is a kind of true in a generalising way. My wife's from NH so I must ask her. The article is more suitable for Titbits or an 'Enquirer' style Irish mag.

I only wish this was true. I married a man from Wexford and have been married less than two years. Between the constant drinkIng (arrested 11 times in less than 2 years) for public intoxication, wrecked and totaled cars and abuse I haven't seen any of these things. Even the parents were never loving or kind. I was never treated like a wife - I would have loved this! Now he gets to go back to his dear Ireland and drink himself to death.

Some of this was so true, but not the farting or dancing part or the part about not showing emotion (which may be true in public, but not in private). ... In fact a study of Irish Americans revealed that they (women and men) hugged their children and told them (even teenagers) they loved them far more than any other group. .. I never saw better dancers than my parents and others from Ireland. When they were young they went out dancing all the time and when older they had parties mainly to talk and dance, with great alcoholic drinks, but the drinking was moderate. It is true that, strangely, they made no effort to teach their children to dance.

So they were right after all - I dont tick a single box I must be from a different planet!!!!

Who comes up with this crap?

C'mon, what a load of cliched blarney!
