Product Information
The couth truthA popular perception of the Irish is that they're all fiery, freckle-faced red-heads who'll start a fight at the slightest offence (e.g., being called British). The bit about the freckles is accurate enough, but the typical Irish person has brown hair and blue eyes. And while they may be descended from the Celts, a fearless people whose warriors were known to run naked into battle, most modern-day Irish people would think twice before running naked into the bathroom. Avoid the voidThere's no use denying it, Irish people talk a lot. They don't know why. It just seems to pour out of them. Maybe it's something to do with living on a lonely mist-covered island on the western fringe of Europe. Whatever the reason, they just can't abide silence. It's a vacuum that must be filled. The write stuffThe Irish devotion to literature is almost a character weakness. It is said that every Irish person has a book inside him or her. Very few of them can be persuaded to leave it there. From gags to richesThe myth of the thick Paddy--once especially popular in Britain--has waned in recent years. But the stereotype of the Irish as a charming-yet-feckless people lingers. They are seen as being ruled by their emotions, incapable of organization, and uninterested in material things. This has become very useful in business negotiations. The ability to pose as hopeless romantics with no concern for money has been a big factor in making Ireland one of the richest countries in the world.

Reviews
'Perceptive and true but - even better - witty and entertaining too, Frank McNally captures all the contradictions and quirks that make up the Irish character. I loved it.', 'Hilarious insight to the Irish Psyche. Explains our search for 'The Craic' and what it is to be an 'eejit'. Not a travel guide but an examination of our collective mindset. Very well done... And explains a few of the scenes in Father Ted ('Why the Irish can't say Yes' .. followed by the even funnier 'Why the Irish can't say No'.', This book is absolutely hilarious! It is without a doubt the best of all in the Xenophobe's Guides series and is extremely well-written., 'I found this book so funny and entertaining. I related to quite a few depictions of Irish life and laughed at others. For a non-Irish person to read this book, it's not all true - a lot of it is exaggerated! Overall, an excellent read especially for Irish who can understand even better where it's coming from.', 'I bought this at Shannon Airport and read it on my flight home. Laughed out loud through the turbulence. Can highly recommend it to anyone of Irish parentage - there's plenty for you to relate to.', 'This book is absolutely hilarious! It is without a doubt the best of all in the Xenophobe's Guides series and is extremely well-written.', I bought this at Shannon Airport and read it on my flight home. Laughed out loud through the turbulence. Can highly recommend it to anyone of Irish parentage - there's plenty for you to relate to.
