I don’t go out to pubs that much, but why don’t you give me a shout when you guys are going? I’ve never met anyone from the SDMB. My profile is linked to my email address, so feel free to mail me, whenever you guys are going to meet up.
Why Boycott? Both the ROI and the NI are Hotbeds of Terrorism. Can’t we just carpet bomb all the Millies & Spides and then start over with a Democratic Goverment with no DUP or Sinn Fein???
[I wonder where would Gerry & Rev. Ian be on That deck of playing cards…]
Well there you go then: the Picts need to rise up against their Irish oppressors. Bloody imperialists.
Well, I was sort of hoping nobody would notice that little detail. I guess if I’m going to do this properly, I have to boycott boycotts as well.

elfje - "Niall of the Nine Hostages’
Band name !
And as soon as they clear out the Picts, they turn on the poor English !
Starting with your pubs and building sites.
and this purely of interest to me (as one of the tribe of the Belgae, that is):

in other words, the Belgae were supposed to be a Jewish tribe, later became Celts and moved to Ireland.
So it’s the Jewish Belgians that conquered the world!
right lads, everyone speak Flemish from now on, you hear!
(I may be the sublimation of the three groups, as I’ve a Jewish nose, born in Belgium, and I speak like a nortsoider 
)
hihi
London_Calling, even better is “Niall of the Nine Sausages” as many an Irish schoolchild has missunderstood his name to be.
Btw, re whole thread? I think I just wet my knickers. Please continue.
This classic thought is going to sustain me on my drive home today.
We’ll give you back Northern Kilburn when you give us back Northern Ireland 
mheheh
sounds about “roigh” to me!
Well it seems that Northern Irish loony and leader of the DUP, the ‘Reverend’ Ian Paisley has joined Fretful Porpentine’s campaign. While bitching about the increasing influence of Dublin in Northern Irish politics, Paisley said this of the facially-challenged Brian Cowen, Dublin’s minister for foreign affairs:
And Paisley is, of course, right to criticise, because he’s something of a supermodel himself.
Yes, that was a vicious attack, wasn’t it? have to say, I’ve not much time for Fianna Fail, but Cowen did not deserve that. At least he has a smidgen of a brain.
What does it say of the DUP, though, that their main vote-getter is a crazed, 78 year old geriatric, with a chip on his shoulder?
Let’s not get into s discussion of the Troubles up North, though, as it always makes my blood boil…
maybe it should be mandatory for politicians to undergo a psych evaluation before they run for office? Mr Paisley is clearly not far removed from being a constant inhabitant of Lala-land.
Did you ever read the Sten series by Alan Cole and Chris Bunch? One of the charectors (from a whole PLANET of Scots) uses Campbell as his most vile profanity, without explanation until the last book.
Ah well, Paisley just discredits himself. And Cowen’s response was suitably dignified. He does ming, though.
ming?
as in dynasty?
Ming as in minger as in ugly.
“Ming” as in “is in the act of being hideous”.
aah, a minger, mingin’ ugly
me get.
yes, but then again, he’s from Offaly.
Farming communities are not known for their son’s and daughter’s beauty, especially if they have been cut off from any new genes for a while.
I take it you guys know what a BIFFO is?
Well, Cowen seems to be the textbook example
(i’m probably being a bit harsh. He did react with dignity to the attack. Fair f*cks to you, Brian)
Thats Cowen’s nickname within Fianna Fail.
