A memory just hit me.
First time I met my late hubby Steven's friend, Martin.. he asked me if I had any Irish in me.
This was at a pub in a town called Morley in West Yorkshire.
My reply was yes.. frequently

So we went to the Pump House Grill wearing green and wanting to be part of the Irish experience. They had an "Irish Troupe" as live entertainment.
Wife and I had the most excellent corned beef and cabbage, and the other couple had shephard's pie.
The "troupe" played Reggae, buffet, and van morrison! I sent a napkin up saying play "oro, se do bheatha bhaile"
The "Irish Troupe" had no idea. W T F?
Bah humbug.

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.
"Why of course," comes the reply.
The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.
The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."
"Of Course," replies the second man.
Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?"
"Dublin," comes the reply.
"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."
"Of course," replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks:"What school did you go to?"
"Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in '62."
"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"
About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.
"Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again..

Say, I like that!
Thought you may have been referencing I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen, as the Rovers did that one too.
Daddy John (Steve's Da) used to sing that one to me when he came to live with me after I lost Steve, until I got my head on straight again.
