BEING IRISH ABROAD brings with it some perks – like people listening with awe at your unique accent for hours on end.

But these heroes have been doing their bit to promote us globally as being pure sound:

1. Like the two Irish guys that went to a pool party in Vegas

We are a proud people, and will turn up to any party in whatever attire is appropriate.

2. This guy in the US that spotted boxes of Barry’s tea for $1 each and bought the shop’s whole supply

When you see a deal like that, you don’t turn it down.

3. When Mr Tayto appeared on Australian TV

At first he nearly fell over:

And then Irish danced with the host:

Our cultural ambassador.

4. When the #HomeToVote crowd took over the internet for one very special day

5. The Cork man who brought his taxi driver to a theme park in Abu Dhabi because he had never been before

And sure didn’t the internet love him for it as well. A hero we all need.

6. The three Irish lads that riverdanced all over the world

Just for the craic. Spreading the joy.

7. The Irish guy that filmed one second per day for a year in Toronto… and proposed at the end

Spreading the love (and the game of hurling).

8. When Crystal Swing went on the Ellen show back in 2010 and gave her some whiskey

9. The two guys that made it into the Superbowl and sat in $50,000 seats

Chancers of the best kind.

10. When these two lads were interviewed on US TV in their GAA jerseys and the crowd absolutely loved them

They were baseball experts, of course:

Very first game. I’ve been an expert on baseball since five o’clock this evening. I haven’t a clue what’s going on but I’ll tell you what’s happening.

You’re all heroes.
