No, Seán. Self taught! Did you know that Barber was reputed to have only the one lung? I don't know if it was true - I thought maybe he had three! Éamonn.

I had just started a response to this woman, when two of my teeth fell out and got stuck in the keyboard between the "r" and the "y" - so I couldn't finish off the word "shi..". Then, when I was trying to extricate the two inches long molar, I knocked my two litre glass of Guinness all over the keyboard. The next door neighbour then arrived in and said she had just discovered that she is her sister's brother's boyfriend and she is pregnant to the whole lot of them. I thought she was upset, but it was tears of delight. She says she's going to call it Adolf if it's a girl. She'll know if it's a girl, because it will have a moustache. So, there you go - things are looking up. The damn cheek of that woman to say we are ugly. I saw quite a reasonable looking one down near O'Connell Bridge yesterday morning about half eleven. Go Irish!! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

If you are angry, boycott the magazine and its sponsors. Write to the sponsors and tell them so....The editor in chief sounds like he works for Murdoch. "This is her personal view..." It wasn't something she said on a radio?TV program.It was submitted for publication and someone at the magazine read it and then published it. If they weren't aware of the possible repercussions, then they shouldn't have jobs. If they were aware, well, that explains itself....I can't blame her for her critique of Irish music, though. When you grow up on the kick ass beat of tuba, well nothing else really matches up, does it?

Phutie: I think you're only half-right here. You talk about " the road to world Marxist socialism". Don't know about you, but I am old enough to remember the Soviet Union. And I know that they had a very strict Immigration policy. The only large group of foreigners they permitted to enter and live in their country were African students, and they kept tight control of those students while they were in the USSR, and got them to leave once they had graduated. The USSR was no poster boy for Mass Immigration!

@WoundedKnee: "Unlimited" immigration is a problem for the entire European peninsula. There are socialist powers at work to "water down" the various European cultures by using Islamic interaction to destroy the Christian foundation on the road to world Marxist socialism. Gerry Adams immediately comes to mind.

It's true that the poor have a lousy dental record in most countries. Water flouridation and government policy is imperative. government subsidies of dental care will bring savings to the overall health budget. The cost will reduce by reducing the associated diseases. The Australian government will inject $4 billion dollars in dental care from 2014(fully budgeted). The dental association and most other associated groups applaud this action.

Crazy as it may seem, a lot of the low self-esteem Irish will be agreeing with this article. It's common to hear people who support the Mass Importation of Foreign Migrants policy in Ireland say "they'll be bring in new genes and we'll be better looking (smarter,sexier--you name it)". Indeed I was listening online to a radio show on the right-wing Dublin station Newstalk just a few days ago where the presenter welcomed the Mass Naturalization ceremonies being held over there (4000 in one event on Thursday alone). His argument as far as I could tell was that the "pasty-faced Irish" needed some new genes to darken their complexions. Ireland is probably the only country wehre radio presenters, journalists etc. can get away with low racist attacks of this type.

My father died (95) with a full head of hair and his own teeth.All my siblings and I still have our hair and teeth. Angrypaddy and Paddyranger should team up they'd make a lousy comedy act.

Now we know why German comedians are so scarce on the ground.
