Just a warning though - the 'stout' thing? Irish

I know a few Celtic fans that are partical to a stout!

na makes no difference at all....macdonald and mcdonald are the same.same as any mc or mac...no hint of where the names originated in either one.

sounds like one of those urban myths that float about......somebody sniffin glue or on acid or summit thought it up and spread it around and those that dont know believed it

Does it really make a difference which prefix has an "a" in it, if both Irish and Scottish people use it?

It makes no difference.

People have already said that it makes no difference.

Ahhhh, but are you trying to tell us that it makes no difference at all, Celyn?

I mean - just cos lots of people have said 'it makes no difference' - doesn't mean it really DOESN'T make a difference, does it?
