Irish und Englisch

One of the great joys in pointing out to one of the British Islanders that there is really no difference between the Englisch and the Irish. Both sides feel insulted and neither gets that the joke is on both of them.

Well, now, here we have science! to the rescue. Turns out that the genetic stuff is, well, the same for both (and the Scots, who will really be insulted by this finding).

Now, I am inclined to believe this science, but if they say that Italians are somehow related to these people, then forget about it.
