Hi Willie,good man yourself (Willie was my dads name)It's the Irish that tell the best jokes all about themselves,the Irish know it's a joke the English believe that it realy happened.No honestly jokes about Pat and Mick and the Irish are quite believable at times and funny but some jokes put out by English guys are so stupid that they are beyond comprehension.We have all this race discrimination at the moment and people being upset about remarks made by fellow workers against their race or creed.I read somewhere the other day about an Irish person complaining about two fellow workers telling Irish jokes,they have been suspended and will most probably loose their jobs.The best of Irish comedians that made the big time on British T.V. was because they told Irish jokes.What is going on how thin skinned are people becoming.!!!
Regards.

Ah Jim Lad, what has this got to do with smoking, and do I suspect an hint of English discrimination in there. No axe to grind just look at my family name. Personally I find that the English can laugh at themselves and have a great sense of humour
Happy new year

OK Willie reverse Irish joke for you
Two Englishmen in a bar in Dublin the worse for wear (the men, not the bar, well maybe both)
1st English to barman "I say Paddy did you know that St Patrick was an Englishman"
No response from barman
1st English again to barman "I say Paddy did you know that St Patrick was an Englishman"
Bartender continues to polish his glasses, no response
2nd Englishman to barman "I say Paddy did you know St Patrick was an idiot"
Barman's response "Yes sir your friend just told me!"
Oh by the way, when did Irishmen start calling Englishmen "Limeys" has Ireland become the 53rd State
