Ouch. I have Irish family so I feel you. Strangely, when I worked on a few building sites as a kid and there were obviously loads of Irish blokes working, the English would disparagingly refer to them as "narrow-backs". I don't know where that comes from, the Irish aren't noticeably narrower and most Irish guys I know as hard as fuck. But fuck the Potato Famine and that cunt Cromwell. I don't think there's ever been a formal apology for those acts of genocide.
