A lot of mining around Butte, Montana. Still has the highest percentage of Irish Americans of any US city, I believe. Lot of union history there too, and Dash Hammett based his novel Red Harvest there.

To me "pants" instead of "trousers" sounded like an Americanism when I first moved to Dublin. What's the story with that one?

Reminds me of a Máirtín Ó Cadhain short story where it's said that the community in Conamara know much more about New York and Boston than they do Dublin or Cork

The only explanation is that they endorse the views of everyone Louis has interviewed until now. I guess that's the message they want out there.

I've had that day about ten times since I saw Get Back. What a song.

There being only two candidates means the same talking points are being done to death

With my name, the problem is people are usually used to either English spelling with reasonably Irish pronunciation (Neil) or Irish spelling with English pronunciation (Niall /nye-ull/). Irish spelling with Irish pron is perfectly consistent with any other word spelt similarly.
