For some reason I remember my family having one of these

I once had a fairly humorous interaction with someone who has DID:

"Where am I, what year is it?"

"You're in Ireland, it's 2026."

"Did you guys reunify yet?"

"Alas, no."

"FUCK!"

It's rather terrifying to come to and have no idea what country you're in but the priorities are correct it seems.

There's a joke about an Irish man in a coma who wakes up decades later.

He asks what year it is and all that jazz, before asking:

"Tell me, is there still all that sectarian violence between Celtic and Rangers?"

"Yeah, unfortunately that's still going on."

"That's a shame, but tell me are we still beating them in football?"

"Yeah last game we won 1-15 to 2-10"

For some reason, I picture this being on some military generals desk...

Like an Irish version of the Red Telephone (see - In Popular Culture)

Open the country. Stop having it be closed.

The cord is going to snag so much on those western peninsulas

I’m sure Sean O’Brien was a union man in more ways than one

theres probably a joke in here

Not necessarily a joke, just a cheeky way of calling for the reunification of Ireland
