Poll: Do you know all the words to our national anthem?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

IT’S NOT EASY to admit that you once thought the last line of our national anthem went like this: “Shoving Connie around the field.” But that’s the story of one of our team here in TheJournal.ie HQ (they know better now).

So many Irish people probably empathised with singer Imelda May who told Ray D’Arcy last month that she spent 11 hours repeating the words to Amhrán na bhFiann in her head before having to perform it ahead of the McGregor-Mayweather bout.

Would you be able to stand up and sing our national anthem on cue? Do you know all the words off by heart?

    I assume you mean that iPhone don’t have these?

    As an iPhone user, I think this is the first time I’ve ever been able to say “this was on iPhone first”. Pretty much everything else was on Android ahead of iOS!

    Android vs iPhone rants are a bore at the best of times, but at least be factual if you are going to do it!

    Can you send them to your iPhone from a Google search though?
    That’s the new part. Dedicated Android sites/apps have been there forever, but not the search results launcher.

    Well to be fair Google device manager had a few of these years ago. I remember downloading it for my Galaxy S3 when I got that first so whenever that came out was the first time I had it. No idea when it first became available.

    Google have had an app called Device Manager available ages, for locating/ringing/wiping your device remotely from your computer. This is second Journal article in a couple of weeks that has reported these as a new feature.

    I have an iPad and an android phone and I prefer android.

    I’m sure you are trolling but you know nothing about technology so why would anyone care what you think?
