Links between Liverpool and Ireland
 

Anyone know the story behind how first-generation indigenous Scousers came to have so much Irish lineage in them?

there you go

Maybe its because the Irish had to stay in Liverpool coz when they went to buy train tickets out they found that their wallets and purses had been robbed

what was the point of this thread as you don't seem particularly interested in the answer Redway and it is information that is readily available on the net :suspect:

:laugh:

simple but true

It is essentially "The Ferry" :joker:. Basically, The Potato Famine happened and a lot of Irish people effectively became refugees, and Liverpool was the main port. Plenty moved on of course but obviously a certain percentage "stuck" (as Liverpool was an industrial city and employed them as labourers).

'member in the best movie ever Titanic, the Irish guy Tommy insists that "Irishmen built this ship" even though it was built in Liverpool. That's because by the time Titanic was being built, pretty much the entirety of the manual labour in the Liverpool ship building industry was Irish.

Interesting addition: On a grander scale, it's a similar reason that a huge proportion of the Irish-American population is in the New York / Boston / New England area. Carried on from Liverpool across the Atlantic during the famine and settled in the areas that British ships were docking.

He's probably offline. No need to be rude.

he was online on this site all day yesterday until 10.30pm giving him around 6 hours to reply at least once to a thread he made?

Wow.

Is it alright if I have a life outside TiBB and don’t post every second of every minute?

That might wash if you didn't post on the

'are you psychic' thread and 'are you a racist thread' where you responded to a post I made last night, but you never bothered with this thread you made yourself?

and you still haven't acknowledged the replies.....just rude

You people make me laugh.

I didn’t know I was up against the TiBB court of stalking and pure rationality. I’ll have to adjust my seriousness then won’t I.

what is your reason for the making the thread?

Cherie making a lawyer here.... :hee:

Does that concern you?

yep it sure does given you asked on a public forum

the op clearly isn't interested in discussing the thread he created, so no point in bothering about it

The reason behind him making the thread isn't, surely.

Does everyone have to submit their reasons for posting anything on the forum. :shrug:

very true

if you make a thread, showing some interest in the responses is just common courtesy, I asked him the reason for him making the thread out of interest myself, I am not forcing him to answer

Well it seems the lynch mob came out because he didn't respond within x number of hours.

Bit ridiculous tbh.

Not as though he made an offensive comment then did a runner.
