Hmmm, the world's best imperialists vs. the world's best beer-drinkers.
Id take the Irish side anyday, my first cousins are half-Irish, and
they were born and raised in Dublin. Been there 4 times, myself, its a
great place. On the other hand ive been to England 9 times, but ive
never left Heathrow. They should settle it over a beer-drinking contest, easily the most entertaining way to settle the dispute. It should take place at St. James' Gate, which is the Guiness brewery in Dublin. ------------- Mass Murderers Agree: Gun Control Works! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Resistance Քիչ ենք բայց Հայ ենք։ |

The Irish have never been Imperialists....
However last time Britiain and Ireland had a war. Early 20th century, the Irish won. ------------- Light blue touch paper and stand well back http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk - http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk - http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk |

The difference is the Scots, Irish and Welsh pick fights with themselves, where as the English pick fights with everyone else. Clearly one was made for empire building and the others weren't. -------------  Arrrgh!!"

I know, the English are the Imperialists, and the Irish are the beer-drinkers.
Its just a dream, as an American, to see pissed off Brits and
Irishmen drinking and swearing at each other. It wouldnt be that funny
to you, considering youre from England. But for us, its gas. Englishman: I buggered your mother from the trademan's entrance. Irishman: Ah, feck off ya gobsh*te. Am i the only one that sees the comedic potential of this? ------------- Mass Murderers Agree: Gun Control Works! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Resistance Քիչ ենք բայց Հայ ենք։ |

Well, "Britain" is Scotland, England, and Wales. Therefore, the
Scottish, English, and Welsh could easily beat the Irish. Cromwell and
his nephew(or some relative) took over Ireland. With some Highlanders,
the conquest would be easy. And yes, Cywr, the Scots, Irish, and Welsh
always fought each other explaining why they never were as great as the
English.

As Americans you must understand...all of our own native beer is totally undrinkable. I honestly dont even like beer but I can tell American beer is the worst, and Guiness is the only one I like. German beers are too strong (anbd if I want strong alcohal content Ill do vodka thank you) and there isnt that much option-wise on the cheap. ------------- "the people are nothing but a great beast...

Only 20 Breweries in the country, the microbreweries are mostly a recent thing. Ireland is your standard cooperate mass vat brewed beer abomination country. Interbrew, Scottish and Newcastle, Heinekan and Diageo are foriegn. Compare this to, Germany 3,000 different brands of beer UK 2,500 Belgium 2,000 Each of these countries wth less than 100 beers from major brewers, the rest local of small brewery beers.
Ireland's only beer of note Guiness is good by massed produced beer standards but hardly a great beer, I'm afraid has long been British and only gets noted because of it's distribution deal it gets by being part of the Diagio corperation, the world's largest hospitality suppliers. Diagio pretends to be Irish to produce Guiness and Baileys, pretends to be Russian to sell Smirnoff, pretend to be American to sell Burger King and Dunkin Donuts and so on. http://www.diageobrands.com/indexx.html - http://www.diageobrands.com/indexx.html ------------- Light blue touch paper and stand well back http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk - http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk - http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk |

I would go with the Irish. They can outdrink anyone including us Texans. Anyone who can outdrink a Texan has to be a hard fighter. ------------- God Bless Texas Remember The Alamo |

In a spirit of helpfulness: German beer sold domestically isn't so strong as the stuff exported (or brewed abroad under licence). Same goes for Belgian beer.

The original question doesn't state what they would beat each other AT.
Ireland is one of those countries (like guess who) that had to develop its own games so it could win at them.
 Of course, the English developed most of the others, but we still lose at them. (Except for the World cup this time ... where's the emoticon for 'crossed fingers'?) ------------- |

First assemble a regular army(NOT ANOTHER IRA). Then spend more money on it, u irish are rich i dont see the reason why u dont. Then u can try and put up a fight, but i still dont think u will win. |

What, Irish as better beer drinkers! 'Pon my soul laddie, you fellows need to get into the East End and see how real (English)men drink! I cahllenge any Irishman to come "play" in Soho.
On a serious note Ireland can never win but can't lose either. I am always amused at how the Americans defend them though (Amusing how one of the biggest terrorist organisations in the world was funded by America....well, actually today they are less terrorist (unfortunately they left the freedom fighter stage too) and more crooks).
And on the historical note England isnt above fighting amongst itself (English civil war, War of Roses.etc).
Still, I challenge any Irishman to come to Winchester and have a drinking competition! Bring it on!  -------------

I would take the United Kingdom as a whole over Ireland in a beer drinking contest. The Scots pretty big drinkers(could probably compete with Ireland) and since Northern Ireland is part of the UK, the drinking trophy goes to the British. -------------

In a battle on a neutral country's territory, the British would win hands down. As I have said earlier, the rough Scot and Northern Irishman will help with the also tough English and Welsh to defeat the Irish Republican forces. The Irish were always good fighters, but so were the English, Scots, and Welsh. They just do not get the credit.

No special drinking stories (except on Friday nights with the College against the Chavs). I just happen to reside in Winchester at the moment (usually a London boy though.)
Phah, all you Aussies and Kiwis are just Brits in denial! I challenge you to watch the Barry MacKenzie movies!-------------
