That is delightful! Thank you for posting it! ;)

thats absolutely brilliant, and i hope that its real. love the last letter too, not even the slightest attempt at an apology.

I'm as sure as I can be that it's NOT real!

Would someone really write "thank-you"...?

i know, would be bloody brilliant if it was though.

It would be even more brilliant if someone wrote, "Bugger off, and get a job as Dopey in the latest version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, you silly little twerp!"

or called them cheese eating surrender monkeys......

brilliant, if only it were true. I love that they apologise and then offer other boxes for Sarkozy to stand on inside the VIP area

hehe . I definitely dont think its true !

If this was true I would support politicians more

Having said that I truly hope that the leprechauns beat the frog ticklers.

leprechauns ? Jesus , is that an attempt at humour ?

Thats very well done. Im looking forward to it tomoro hogan stand upper tier atmosphere should be great

Sing your heart out for the boys in green!

Well they were the first and only thing I thought of that was irish.

Is what I wrote an insult? If so then I am sorry.

I hope this is not true, as you say. It certainly looks real from the first few exchanges.

If it were true, I think someone in Dublin just lost their job and all diplomacy-related career opportunities.

EDIT: I've called Irish folks "leprecauns" jokingly. They didn't take it as an insult, but they didn't like it. It seemed to me a feigned indignation at being stereotypically referred to as a mythological creature, but nothing more.

Someone there mentioned it was a very clever work done by a Dublin ad agency. Still, hilarious!

BAHAHAHAHA! pure gold.

Rue de Blaguer means street of the joker roughly

This has put a smile on my face, fantastic stuff.

The thing is, Moos and Virosh, that neither of you would dream of calling a black man a golliwog. Calling an Irishman a leprechaun isn't that different!

Sarkozy, on the other hand, you can call anything you like! I run a group for teaching French people English. At the moment we're running a murder trail - Sarkozy's body washed up on a local beach and suspects were rounded up - ex-lovers, blackmailers, political opponents! Not one member of the group complained - they all thought it was hilarious! :D

There's a difference. The first one being racist, the other being xenophobic. (If anything)

Very funny stuff though. Wish it was real.

Really? I honestly had no idea that it was that rude. Here in Sweden it would be a fun thing - a joke, but apparently our views are very different.

But since it appears to be a very rude and inappropriate thing to say/write (atleast outside Sweden) then I am truly sorry if anyone took offence to it. That was never my intention.

Could an admin please erase that part of my post?

Moos, i didnt find your remark as offensive , maybe i jumped the gun too quick and ive no doubt you didnt mean any harm .

Id prefer if you'd called us a nation of partyloving easy going shower of drunks who like a gamble :D

Well, a lesson well learned and appreciated, moi. I had no idea.

Like Blueday says, there is a nuance of difference, but the Irish definitely do not like being identified with little green men with squeaky voices!

Boozy betters with voices like black velvet is clearly acceptable!
