For many years now I’ve had in my memory this scene from star trek tng where, for whatever reason, a group of British officers and Irish officers led by O’Brien start getting nationalistic and sing their respective national songs at each other. I remember the British were singing “Rule Britannia” but I don’t recall the Irish song.

Writing this out it sounds bizarre and I’d almost think I dreamt it up but I couldn’t come up with these details. I might have seen it somewhere else but i distinctly recall O’Brien. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? If indeed this is real, what episode?

    “British” people are far more likely to sing their national songs (“Land of my Fathers” for Wales, for example) than that dodgy imperial song. ( Look at the words. They’re really bad, even for an empire. )
