Never met a bad tempered Irishman...honestly. Im sure there must be but there are bad tempered ppl of every nationality.
Red haired is supposed to go with a high temper..and I do live with a red head...and I do have to calm em down often!

Dunno as i think many of us can be like that Irish or whatever nationality. Guess i must have some Irish blood in me then as I can be both hot tempered and bad tempered *LOL*
Have also heard the same be said about the Italians. No offence meant by the way to any nationality. reckon it;s in our genes!

First of all Shane the British are not in your country. Look at any map of the world. Nor do they want to be in your country. Please stay there.
Anyway your question is good. Some Irish people are like that so generally that is the picture. But its just a generalisation. not true. Many Irish people living in England are not like that at all.

That's not a very nice thing to say in actual fact. And I have never met any like that.

Maybe they are just seen that way by the passive-aggressive English.
