Who do you think would win in a drinking contest?Ireland or Germany?

Do you think ISIS will attack Ireland?
I am from there and cant help but worry. France is not too far from Ireland. So i have hear that the ISIS are targeting countries that let in Syrian Refugees, and Ireland are about to let in 4,000 of them. They also see Ireland as a back door into Europe. We hardly have the best defences now do we. If they got into France, God only knows what they would do to Ireland
What will Ireland's position be in CWC 2015? What do you think about Australia's chance of winning being more this time than the rest of the teams?
Looks like they will enter the quater finals but what made me sad the tag of upsetter on them,Ireland has beaten a big team in the last three world cups(Pakistan-2007 England-2011 West Indies-2015).I believe its now time to introduce another Test playing nation.I don't believe Australia has a really good chance of winning this world cup though they are the so called favorites.What i believe the factors which influence this world cup are :Team Balance(all teams have a good balance other than Pakistan here)Quick adaption to conditions.According to me India, Australia, South Africa,New Zealand will go through to the semis.
Who would win in a war between England and Ireland?
Replacing England with the UK, Ireland actually won the last war, sort of.The Irish War of Independence in the early 1920s led to the British government granting Ireland its independence. In my opinion, victory in this war is even more impressive than American victory in 1783, because Britain faced none of the disadvantages it faced in the American Revolutionary War.The only slight catch is, the Irish didn’t get to keep their entire country. There is a far more loyal part that remained part of the UK, and it still is for the time being.So it’s a bit like the USA not getting Canada in the peace treaties, which was loyal to the Crown.The style of fighting was very different too, compared to the American war. Ireland mostly resorted to guerrilla warfare, whereas the Continental (American) army mostly used normal tactics (artillery, infantry, set battlefields etc).Irish public opinion hardened because Britain repressed the rebellion brutally. Look up the Black and Tans, or Bloody Sunday. Eventually, the country became ungovernable and the Irish won their freedom.It was a bit like our Vietnam. There was no way we were going to win.And it would be the same today. An invasion of Ireland would be very easy. They have no fighters or tanks or ships and only a handful of soldiers. But actually occupying a country where the entire population wants to come up behind you in the dark and put a bullet in your head? That would be an impossibility.
Do you think Irish Spring is a man's soap?
Heck, no!! It's my soap of choice!! I love the smell of it and, with all due modesty, I've had people say that I smell great when I had no perfume on so they're either reacting to the Irish Spring soap or have a deodarant fetish. I love Irish Spring soap. I use it all the time. I would suggest that it's probably more popular with people who perspire a lot (me) and/or who exercise intensely (me) and/or who like that herbal/forest kind of scent (me). Some people say it dries out a person's skin but I've never had a problem with it. If one is not prone to dry skin, they should give it a try. I just love the smell and it obviously goes well with my own natural scent because, as I said, I've had people compliment me on it and a friend even asked what perfume I was wearing when I wasn't wearing perfume but had showered with Irish Spring right before going out. Good soap but probably not for everyone.
Do you think U2 represents Ireland well?
They are certainly fairly good role models, that's for sure. Their use of a white flag ought to be taken up by the morons in Northern Ireland arguing over flags like fcuking kindergarten babies!
Who will win the 9th match between Ireland and Sweden in the UEFA Euro 2016?
Sweden have qualified through the play offs with a comfortable win against Denmark, and that game just proved what we all have know for years. Sweden’s success depends on the fantastic Zlatan Ibrahimovic.Whereas, it is a very tough draw for the Republic of Ireland, but as their veteran striker Robbie Keane said the fantastic team spirit can take them through to the next round. Ireland finished third behind Germany and Poland in the qualifying group and beat Bosnia -Herzegovina in a play offs. They gave proof of that team spirit by beating Germany in Dublin and drawing against them away from home.It is a very tough call but I think Sweden is going to win the match thats what the odds on the Vonbets say.
Do you think Ireland can get test status in the 2018 ICC test challenge?
Given their current form and the change in personnel in coming time I don’t think Ireland can qualify as a test nation in coming 1–2 years.They were one of the best associate teams in early decade of 2000 and also till 2011–12 but after that we have seen a decline in their match winning abilities and simultaneous rise of Afghanistan has dented the chances of Ireland, once almost guaranteed contender, a chance at the Test Cricket.All of their great players of yester years are nearing their retirement and lack of domestic cricket structure has lead to the scarcity of eligible replacements of these players. This issue is the foremost in the list of why Ireland won’t be a test nation in coming 2 years.Not until they pump in young blood and start winning again against all the associate teams home or away, can they be called eligible to be a TEST nation.
Middle Name For Ireland?
One of my friends is called Ireland :) her middle name is Blue, though I think green would have been better ha ha :) My mother is Irish and was going to call me the gaelic name Fionnuala (Fin-Noo-Lah), I think a Gaelic name like this would sound good because it is not so complicated as they tend to be and the name Fionnuala comes from a beautiful story of The Children of Lir were her and her brothers are turned into swans, if I ever have a little girl I want to call her Fionnuala Odette :) One of my other friends is called Niamh (Neeve) which is pretty and Aislin (Ash-Ling) is nice too :) Ireland Mystic sounds lovely, very unique:) I know you dislike common names but Ireland Elizabeth sounds lovely, so does Ireland Rose :) My friend Irelands sibling is called River and I think River Ireland sounds so cool! :) But in this case I think a Gaelic name is more suited :) here are some of my faves... =Meaning :) 1.

Should i invite my friends to Ireland for the cermony? what will they think of me? Should i live in America?
As an irish person who lives in ireland i am laughing at the fact that you think you are irish royalty. No irish person will ever bow to royalty. They are having a laugh at your expense. My god every person who lives in Ireland can claim they are descendants of royalty (see niall of the nine hostages) a high king that was prolific in bed. Just like every person in mongolia can claim to be descendants of Genghis Khan. As for your friends you better not bring them to save yourself the embarrassment of being just another tourist with a outlandish claim. You are not the first to claim you are descendants of royalty. If you were descendants of royalty why did you leave ireland? Royalty generally tends to stay in the one place
