Hardly conclusive, is it? Still, we'll all claim him when he's a winner, won't we?  |
Well he doesn't like talking about it in general and I don't blame him given how sensitive it all is. He doesn't seem like someone overly attached to any identity and is happy to represent all three and for Irish and British to claim him.
He's just gone a shot up, two behind now.
Since we're discussing it I was going to bump your Irish thread to post this recently, but have you heard of that Anne Marie Waters? Now to me that is surprising.

Have you ever known anyone from the ROI like this?
