And all we are saying is that you are wrong. She didn't overreact. To say she overreacted is complete rape of the English language. Your language.

I watched it and so did others. She didn't overreact. You did.

Get it now?

[clairem43]

All us Irish put our point across because the subject is about a big part of our history and who we are. I think we should all just get on with it now

[Kore]

she should of just told him it wasnt the UK in a nice manner. No need to Snap.

Yip, that's what I was trying to say up there^^^.. I just waffled a bit more

Edit.. oh and before I get myself into the same trouble Kore has just managed to get himself into, No I did not see it so can't really comment but I'm just saying IF she did snap..

Did you, or 30stone for that matter, actually see the footage?

[30stone]

I didnt from what 90% of people said she did snap at him a bit, got annoyed etc..

The thing is he was just uneducated on the subject, all you need to say is no we are not part of the uk we are not british we are irish.

Hes from the otherside of the world, they dont teach him that ireland isnt part of the uk, it is joined to n ireland after all which is part of the uk, shown a uk map youd still see ireland on there because of how close it is..

Its an easy mistake for people to make especially people who arent taught about it and live outside europe.

You have a very, very odd grasp on mathematics, from my reading of the thread.

Which is exactly what she did. Maybe if you had seen the footage.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

She got offended and was clearly aggravated by the question

Fact

Fact

Canadians get a bit annoyed when people think they're American, New Zealanders get slightly annoyed when people think they're Aussies, I really can't see what your problem is to be quite honest.

[30stone]

My gosh.

Seriously so i didnt actually calculate it.. i saw people say "i was offended".. by the comment and i just didnt understand why.

Which obviously caoimhe was to and showed that? is that right?

Was she calm? was she offended what?


From what ive heard she was a bit over the top. thats all, jeez...

Your just not very happy when people from other countries choose to display their patriotism or demonstrate their independence, are you? It seems written all over dozens of posts you have made on the subject in the past.

I'll probably take some flack for saying that but I have been here for years now and have seen how you go about it sometimes. It's childish.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

she said she "hates" being refered to being from uk

OVERACTION!

No, it's not. I would hate if people said I was from the UK. BECAUSE I'M NOT.

Get it?

Jesus christ!

Oh for christs sake, how many times do you say oh I hate that in a day??? I know I say it quite alot but I don't actually mean hate, it's a figure of speech ffs!!

Don't you just hate it when you're in the bath and the door bell rings? etc etc.

[eviled2010]

Dere's more to Oireland dan dis.

[setanta]

It's like dear auld Tommy Tiernan said when trying to figure out what it means to be Irish - "It means I'm not f$cking English, ok?".

Anyway, haven't seen the footage so won't be commenting on this alleged snap just yet. Still though, I make a point to mention I'm Irish when I'm abroad but it's usually not necessary cuz of the head on me!

I love Tommy

[Fish]

You would find many people in Ireland who would get offended when someone says that. Me personally, don't care if people ask it or assume it.

I mean, I don't think she reacted right. He only asked her a question. Seemed like she jumped down his throat... But we'll see tonight how she said it. (If they show it)

[MissKittyFantastico]

She did snap at him a little bit but it isn't like she went screaming in his face about it!

It's understandable I think, a lot of people get annoyed when people mistake where they come from, especially if they are proud of their roots.

I get annoyed when Americans think everyone in England must live in London for example, I know that's a daft example and nothing compared to the British/Irish thing but it still annoys me, I hate London....doesn't mean all Irish hate the English though! She just corrected him, maybe in a slightly snappy way but I think the OP is making a mountain out of a molehill tbh.
