The majority of my ancestors were Scots, so I understand the Irish. If I lived in Scotland, I would be doing everything possible to get out of the UK, even at a significant financial cost. I can only imagine how the Irish feel, having much worse treatment over the last couple of hundred years.

Well put! *And btw, I've just found today's word my struggling brain refuses to recognize as valid is "put." As in, somehow the word "put" has been put out of my brain.

"my clowns are such lovely little figureheads for the household, when the kids get unruly I just remind them "you fight the house rules you hurt the clowns and they'll be disappointed in you, they will" and they all say "god bless the clowns" and leave it be, marvelous, truly marvelous"

What amazes me is that the rich family over the road, who evicted their own clowns in 1776, still seem fascinated by ours. They even let some of them live there!

will never fail to boost this quote cause I've had my fair share of experiences, coming from a country that was founded on rebelling against a monarchy, where people will in no uncertain terms defend against me "rule by murder-clowns". They'll even call monarchies democratic -it's the insane asylum.

And sometimes people in other countries assure you, an Irish person, that your house is actually part of the clown house!
