I'll have you know, my ancestors were Kings of Wicklow! We're as Irish as losing a three-nil lead in a must-win fixture!

Sigging the **** out of this.

Also, I too have noticed Hermione's reticence to start fights since returning. This is a positive sign.

Ladies don't start fights. But we can often finish them.

Reminds me of this quote

Quote:

“Me, I want to bloody kick this moronic bloody world in the bloody teeth over and over till it bloody understands that not hurting people is ten bloody thousand times more bloody important than being right.”

I'd like to stress patience as being a virtue

I must say, this "my-ancestor-was-more-important-than-yours" reminds me of a conversation I had with a girl in the office, when I smugly told her that my ancestors were kings of Wicklow, to which she sweetly replied "Yeah? Well, mine were High Kings of Ireland!" Um, take that, me!
