I (an American) was the guest of an Irish family in Dublin as part of a college program in the 70's. Irish people sing EVERYWHERE - our tour director sang, of course we went to Irish pubs with lots of singing, and when friends got together they played...singing games!!!! Great nation of people!!

They conquered the world... with their pubs and hating the English. Mainly hating the English. It was popular for a time and people bought in. Was a time two thirds of the globe sported the British Red on the maps. Ireland fought back and won away. I expect some other victims have done something as well. Ireland will always be remembered for beating the English and not for any cereals!

To anyone wondering what the bleedin ‘ell the “captian’s daughter” is; its another name for the Cat o’ nine tails a type of whip designed for severe punishment and was last used by the Royal Navy in 1848.

[@lachlanlandreth9069]

That or when they say "Have you ever seen the captains daughter?" it was a jeer at how unattractive the daughter is. As the Bosun (in charge of the rigging, and rank above all the deck crew) was the one who would actually serve the punishment, as they were usually the strongest and hardiest crew member. It also helped maintain the Bosun's authority.

[@starswarm]

Hell no and hell yes! The captain's daughter going to get it so damn good that the poor boy gonna have his back torn up by her nails due to the great rutting shes getting that his back is gonna look like hes taken a number of lashes! It's a dirty song as they all are and dont forget it!
