You put your hand in your pocket to pay for something and just cant bear to bring the money in your pocket out and wait for someone else to pay. (Usually someone non Irish).

You forget there is actually an 'h' in the alphabet.

...................... and what is wrong with thanking a bus driver ??

Guess you know a lot about us-did you get your sterotype in Punch ? Lots of English and indeed Scottish forget they have a h-just in a different part of a word.

You are always a welcome friend to the emerald isle

You know you're Irish when you ask a lady for a Ride

And you know she's Irish when she replies - Ride! I wouldn't ride ya, if ya had pedals!

I've noticed the 'tightness' with money through people watching when I am in Ireland.

I know the irish have a sense of humour .................... I just don't understand it ............... cos I'm not Irish.

The written words I see on the forums and it usually takes ten minutes to be able to translate about four lines of typing to something that I can understand myself.
