I'm from England and have never been to Ireland, sadly.  I did have a bf who came from there, but that was a very long time ago.  He was lovely.

I have always wished I lived in Ireland, so I gave my daughter an Irish name (she tells everyone she is Irish, lol), does that count? Welcome to IHD!

Well Richard...

Of course we were concerned about Celeste... You're big and ugly enough to look after yourself, but the lovely Celeste's not in that position, so she needs us humans to look out for her... And we were just making sure you were smitten with the most important female... Celeste!.....  :rofl;

Jelly, as you can see, we're VERY sensitive to each other's feelings around here.... Right Richard???....  :rofl;

Welcome to the board, I was a long time lurker, now I post ridiculous things from time to time.  My ancestry is from Ireland (grandmother and grandfather) or as they said "The Old Country".  Glad you joined.

First of all  :welcomesign; to the site, yes we do have a few people from Ireland.  I can not believe Darth said this  "but Yes, I'm the quiet, shy, retiring one from Ireland!."... Don' t believe a word she says. Lol. Please feel free to ask any questions.
