Ten things you NEED to know about Ireland
Reblogged from Journalist on the run:
In line with my Irish patriotism this week, and declaring war on anyone stupid enough to refer to St Patrick as 'st patty', I am dedicating this post to the little (but awesome) nation of Ireland. So here is a list of things you may have thought were Irish but aren't and things you may not have thought were Irish but are!!
I'm reblogging Janet's great post to save me time writing something very similar!

Some interesting information there, Livvy !
I am also with you on those that say “Happy Patty’s Day”….makes my blood boil…then when I tell people, they want to know why?? gggggrrrrr…lol!
