Re: Burl's a bugger!

I never pretend to be Irish. Did I once say I was? I just feel a little for them, that's all. In 2.5 years time, though, I'll have my Irish passport - can I speak then?

Just for the record - Cromwell was my great great (x a lot) uncle's cousin. I'm also a Stuart which adds to the fun :-)

I think Cromwell ruled GB, not just England and had troops from all over, so in effect it was GB who came over here the second time and layed into the Irish. At the time of the English Civil war Charlie was in deep shit and he promised the Irish that he'd let Ireland become its own country in return for help. Consequently, and somewhat ironically, the Irish fought for the King during most of it. After Cromwell had won he came over and stuffed the Irish lords good and proper and introduced the Pale. Lovely man :-)
