Happy St Patricks Day

Ma O'Tsetung - Probably...

Sounds Irish enough to me.

You may have a point there!

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

[Mich the Tester]

I wouldn't be so sure.

[Mich the Tester]

Or my younger brother O' Cha-Chu.

Well he's obviously an Irishman.

I wouldn't be so sure.

No snakes after the midlandian ice age?, was that before or after the east anglian one

After;

Irish geologists, geographers and archaeologists refer to the Midlandian glaciation as its effects in Ireland are largely visible in the Irish midlands.

The effects of this glaciation can be seen in many geological features of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Its deposits have been found overlying material from the preceding Ipswichian Stage and lying beneath those from the following Flandrian stage of the Holocene.

I now understand why some idiot dressed as a leprechaun was stumbling around blind drunk in Rembrandtplein half an hour ago(probably an American).

It wasn't me.

Saw cans of Guinness in Tesco earlier - brewed in Nigeria

WTF is that about?

Ignore the cans and seek out the bottles. Nigerian Guinness is a cracking drink. Do a search on CUK for it and you'll get my previous explanations & descriptions.

Do they bedeck Dublin pubs with red and white on April 23rd each year? I very much doubt it.

Apart from the obvious; an excuse for getting totally bladdered, why do the English make such a big deal about St. Patricks Day?


< waits for some predictable idiot to miss the point and start banging on about St. George really be a Turk, or some such. >

I agree - don't mind the Irish pubs making a big deal of it but don't get the plastic paddy's at all.

What is a shame though is that the English don't seem to be able to celebrate St Georges Day Ye should have a bigger sense of National Pride, IMO but it seems the flag and stuff has been so hijacked by the hooligans, it's like ye aren't allowed to reclaim it - As I said, shame

Because St Patrick was English?
