I was thinking of starting a thread on the Irish actually, this afternoon. Lots of cultural influence both ways

Master and commander there's a film

good film/paean to the glory of high British imperialism

"remember the good old days when we lorded it over everyone, all upper lips were stiff, Jack Tars, John Bull"

albeit the books are better, as the film totally bails on Maturin's complexities, which is what makes the books more than Boys Own adventures

I recently found out that one of the reasons the Irish are known for their bants is that they were prevented from learning how to read and write

This Is England obviously fantastic, bittersweet

all the TV miniseries followups are great too, and together they all form a Tolstoyan epic of 80s Britain

supposedly Meadows wants to do one more to cap it off set in the mid 90s, presumably during the glory days of jungle (or less fortunately, Britpop)

And of course beyond the pale is Irish in origin
