I haven't had a giveaway lately and I have an extra silver 1966 Easter Rising 10 shilling floating about. So all you have to do is post to this thread and tell me a little something you like that's Irish. No you can not use me as something you like that is Irish...LOL! I will select a winner Sunday evening.

Well, there is a nice looking lady at work from Ireland....

And then of course I've enjoyed a pint or 2 of some of Irelands finest!

I like the band U2 and they're Irish!

Edited to add: I like The Cranberries too!

I've always liked the animal designs used on most of the Irish coins.

Hey Hey, I loved the airport in Shannon. Stopped in there a couple of times on my way elsewhere

Take care

U2's song 'Bad' is one of the all time best songs.

That reminded me of My great-grandma McCord! She's 96 and she's just like that!

I'm full of blarny - does that count?

Can "Killian's Red" count??

I like James Joyce. Best read with a pint of Guinness. I guess that's two things.

Does being a fan of the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish football team count?

I would say it's my 1963 3 pence from Ireland with a bunny on it, but I say it's my college-girl neighbor, she's 2nd generation Irish.

I worked with a guy name Seaumus O'Leary, he was full blooded Irish and he was hilarious. It was always bloody this and bloody that whenever he was ticked about something (which was quite a bit), but he also had a good sense of humor.

May Cú Chulainn and I one day join on the Field of Battle in full rage against the enemies of Eire.

Hmm, I liked St. James Gate (and the black brew within), the O'Connell Bridge, the Book of Kells, Irish hospitality, sunset over Galway Bay, narrow roads winding through very green fields with meandering stone walls about, Irish humor, some (but not all) Irish sausages, and the lead singer of the Corrs.... and my forum name is a contraction of "Baile Atha Claithe" which is probably misspelled but is Irish for Dublin....

I can't say I particularly like the airport in Shannon (never been at the airport), but one of the things I liked best about Ireland was an ancient tower house just outside Shannon. It was so small, it only had one room per floor, was 3 stories tall, and had the original thatch and mud ceilings from 500 years ago. Pretty darn cool.

I also liked the Blarney castle, even though kissing the stone was a bit stange.

Shepherds pie.....................is that Irish?




Thanks for the chance.

Guiness is my favorite. When my wife and I went to Dublin for our honeymoon, I practically got hammered at the bar inside the brewery. We were given two free pints each and my wife hates guiness beer, so needless to say I was toasted. -Dan

A little something I like that's Irish.

Hm. I like this. A lot.

Too bad it isn't mine anymore.







I'm also a big fan of Irish music. Especially the Chieftains. Clannad is good, too.



My surname is Irish, at least in its original "Sionnach" spelling. We Shinnicks are "The Munster Foxes". Sionnach abu!

No taxes on artists, poets, songwriters and other creative types.

My son's 3-hours of credit he got in 1995 from Cork University at a summer program.

The beautiful pictures he brought back from Eire.

Indomitable spirit of the Irish.

Michael Collins, both the movie and the actual person the movie was based on.

I hope this all qualifies...

My Grandmother was Irish, I miss my Grammie.

Let's hope and pray that Katrina was kind to the "Irish Channel" section of New Orleans..... I'm afraid she was not

My second collecting hobby, besides coins.... Irish Hospital Sweepstakes tickets and paraphenalia. One of these days I will have to get it all organized and scanned, and get a web-page up for them. Irish enough??

wildjag

Dare I admit that I have some Irish coins with chickens on the back no less

DBSTrader2

Besides loving the Irish coins' designs, I guess I'd have to say I like that little old lady once removed from Ireland with the surname O'Leary..................... if not for her, the Chicago skyline would not look as it does today!

Popcoin

I still like this one, alas never to be mine.

Dungannon Ireland (10 generations ago).

Larry DeVinney (spelled Deveny back then).

Depends on which town you mean. I'm in New Orleans right now.

Newsman had to skip town until the dust settled.
