\n

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day<\/a>, we list all the reasons you should be envious of Irish people… Warning: after reading the following Irish memes and characteristics, you might find yourself agreeing with us!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. They\u2019ll patiently explain it\u2019s St. Paddy\u2019s Day, not St. Patty\u2019s, one hundred times or more\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026 and not kill you. (Unlike Liam). Image: Ireland Memes<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Irish people are awesomely loyal to Tayto crisps (chips)<\/strong>\"tayto<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look at this fella, Mr. Tayto in all his glory. Taytos are so loved they’ve got their own\u00a0theme park<\/a>: that\u2019s crisps dedication. Other countries, take notes and keep up.Image: infomatique<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

3. The Irish have managed to make coffee even better…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just add Jameson\u2026 Image: mariusreppe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. And bread\u2019s better in Ireland too\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is soda bread, made with sodium bicarbonate instead of yeast. It is delicious, the end. Image: tonyhall<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. And <\/em>tea\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Barry’s tea is the way to go – it’s one of the things the Irish miss most abroad, and Ireland itself is world’s third biggest tea-drinking nation<\/a>, beaten only by Morocco and Turkey. Basically, Ireland owns you on drinking tea. Image: Barry’s Facebook<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. And<\/em> breakfast\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What makes the Irish breakfast fry-up different from its English, Scotch and Welsh brothers? Black and white puddings: the former’s made with pig’s blood, the latter without. Sounds “gross”? You just don’t have the cojones to eat blood for breakfast and enjoy it. Wimp. Image: Jon Juan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. And <\/em>fizzy drinks\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re missing out if you\u2019ve never had red lemonade. Try TK or Finch’s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Plus <\/em>the Irish invented whiskey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pipe down, Scotland. Old Bushmills Distillery on the north coast has had a license to distil since 1608, the oldest in the world. Image: Robotskirts<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Irish people use language way <\/em>better than you do<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jaysus! Image: Keepcalm-o-matic<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Irish names have far cooler meanings than yours<\/strong>
\n<\/a>\"irish<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basically the cast of Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. And Irish people can reference everything back to Father Ted<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…Even when clashing with riot police in Poznan. Image: via Imgur<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12. Irish pop music goes from the sublime\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sublime in record sales terms, even if U2 aren\u2019t your cup o\u2019 tay \u2013 170 million plus albums sold since 1978! Image: Peter Neill<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13. \u2026 to the nostalgic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

… if you grew up in the UK\/Ireland in the 90s and 00s, aka the era of pop manager Louis Walsh\u2019s reign of terror on the charts. Look at this: B*witched in TOTP magazine with a Boyzone fold-out! Amazing. Westlife were the biggest act, but extra points if you remember: Six, Samantha Mumba, Bellefire or Buffalo G.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14. \u2026to the amazingly ridiculous<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"jedwards\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you haven’t heard of Jedward, you have a far less superior sense of humour than the Irish. Follow @planetjedward<\/a> for more wise words from your favourite new twins who can’t sing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15. The Irish invented Guinness<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The big one. First brewed in 1759, the silky back stuff doesn’t export well and really does taste better in Ireland. Canny way to get you to visit, eh?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

16. And the felfie\u2026 farmer + selfie<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"felfie\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ireland is singlehandedly taking selfies to the next level. Image: via BeansandToast on Imgur<\/a> < click for more felfies<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

17. And the calf-park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"calf<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

18. And some other important things\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/a>\"john<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John Joly invented colour photography in 1894. Vincent Barry accidentally invented a cure for leprosy, which has cured 15 million people, and John Philip Holland launched the world\u2019s first successful submarine in 1881 (pictured). Done anything like this recently? Didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

19. Hurling is the world\u2019s fastest field sport<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Gaelic-origin game’s also been played for over 3000 years, so the Irish have a lot of practice on you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Image: Johnno100<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

20. And<\/em> Brian O\u2019 Driscoll, the world\u2019s best rugby player is Irish<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brian O’Driscoll is the most-capped player in rugby union history, and the highest try-scorer in Irish rugby. Here he is visiting a fan in hospital with the Heineken cup (2011).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

21. The Irish OWN \u2018The Craic\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the craic? You cannot see it. You cannot touch it. But you know when you\u2019re having it. Like this baby.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

22. Irish literary stars are the coolest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

James Joyce is the father of Modernist literature, Jonathan Swift a master satirist and Oscar Wilde the most famous Victorian play-write. Some favourite quotes…<\/p>\n

Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the reason why. – James Joyce<\/em><\/p>\n

Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own. – Jonathan Swift<\/em><\/p>\n

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.- Oscar Wilde<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

23. Ireland\u2019s got the world\u2019s BEST airline\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026 at generating publicity. Who remembers the ‘planes with less toilets’ story, the ‘\u20ac1 to use the toilets’ story and the ‘standing-room-only planes’ story? Genius. <\/span>Image:\u00a0Aleksi Aaltonen<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

24. Polar bears originally came from Ireland.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AKA the world\u2019s coolest bears. Read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

25. Irish Wolfhounds are bigger and better than your<\/em> dog.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wolfhound is the world’s tallest breed of dog, and is so-named because it was used for hunting wolves. Duh. Image: Dux<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

26. Ireland has won Eurovision a record seven times<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

https:\/\/youtu.be\/3mC0rWgUqTc<\/a><\/p>\n

But the real winner is Riverdance (first performed at the 1994 contest), and quite possibly Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley’s bank balance…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

27. And Penneys – Primark – changed high street shopping forever<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"irish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are plenty of criticisms to be levelled at their model, but they\u2019re responding<\/a>. Admit it… most of us have succumbed to those sales at least once. Image: miguev-maps<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

28. Bottom line, Ireland is the world\u2019s most green and beautiful country<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"green<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe that’s why EVERYONE says they\u2019re Irish? Image: via Imgur<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
