Nationality is an old-fashioned concept. Up here in Derry we are just glad to be part
of the world community and we don't have time for concepts like "Irish" or "British".

cant believe u forgot ruby

We have a diverse welcoming society.

Irish people, jockeys mentioned, will always be welcome here and apart from adding to the quality of racing also add to the quality of the country. (Look at how many Irish people arrive and stay for good)

I think that's one thing we're good at.

(I admit Yorkshire lets us all down).

We can get blathered with the best of them and our teenage pregnancies are second to none I'll have you know!!

and the Champion Jockey is................not Irish

I'm a better jockey than Queally, and the last time I was on a horse was 30 years ago.

The ironic fact is that the Brits own Ireland now anyway so the Irish will be soon be known as British or more likely English. I also believe that there are a lot of successful Irish jockeys as a result of the higher proportion of the population being of pixie descendency

"cant the british do anything?!?!?"


Do you mean apart from helping to bail out Ireland's finances?

I looked the list of jocks and wondered why they spend the majority of their riding career here in the UK. Is it perhaps that they have defected because the Irish can't offer them an opportunity to race there? Can't the Irish do anything right?

Hee hee. Good point. In Derry, prem league shirts outnumber GAA shirts by hundreds to one.

Celtic shirts are pretty popular - probably the most popular - but Glasgow's not really in Ireland either.

Just put the word Empire after it and ask yourself the same question.
Britain gained the title "Great" from the world as it recognised Britain as its overlord.

Kavvie is in other words trying to tell us that the Irish are the best midgets in the world. Cough cough *bailout*

we also thank you for Jedward for great vocal talent

Cant believe he forgot the trainers as well, excellent trainers like Barney Curley, Ferdy Murphy, Jonjo O'Neill, Noel Quinlan, sorry im running out of space..u get the picture

You should probably add that we Aussies are your best race callers, just wouldn't want you leave anything out from the list.

You still have the best TopGear episodes if that's any consolation to you all, TopGear Australia and US is complete crap.[;)]

You have a point kavvie britain is in a poor state but if all those effing foriegners would just eff off to where they came from we could make a start on putting things right.

kavvie seems to have upset a lot of forumites
