I had that stubborn streak, the Irish in me I guess.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.
I'm just a true Irish boy at heart.
I'm proud to be Irish.
I'm just a loud Irish guy.
The way I see it is that all the ol' guff about being Irish is a kind of nonsense. I mean, I couldn't be anything else no matter what I tried to be. I couldn't be Chinese or Japanese.
The problem with being Irish... is having 'Riverdance' on your back. It's a burden at times.
Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.
Some people say to me, 'You don't sound very Irish.' It's because I have this tendency to iron out my accent: not because I'm ashamed of it but because it makes my life easier if I don't keep having to repeat myself.
I come from a long line of staunch Irish Catholics.
Being Irish, I always had this love of words.
