There’s no doubt about it, us Northern Irish really are a rare breed.
And it’s fairly easy to see why. All you have to do is take a look back at our weird and wonderful childhoods…
Things all Norn Irish people did when we were childer…
1. You got a batin’ for leavin the murshon on.
2. You got a batin’ for beakin off school.
3. You ran into the house to beg for money when you heard the poke man’s music.
4. You’ve never ran faster that when you played rap the doors.
