The Cromwell thing, I get a little 'shruggy' about. The 'Paddy' remark causes some mild lip pursing.

But if she ever uses the word 'Micks', I swear on my copy of Rum Sodomy And The Lash, I'll be confronting her and insisting she tread on the tail of my coat.

There are limits.

Oh dear, I am so very sorry indeed. I thought that as you Irish are all so very jolly, what with your downing arms lately and practically being British anyhow. I apologise profusely, can I buy any of you a drink at the next forum drinks? I know how you all simply love your Guinness!

Don't worry Mr Tony.London Suburbs, I understand that the Irish must be feeling genuinely threatened. I hear the Eastern European's stole their building jobs and now the Swan in Stockwell is set to turn into a Polish bar. The Irish shop on Lorship lane is soon to be taken over by a famous chain of Kielbasa sausage shops. I haven't met an Irish assistant in Greggs the bakers or nurse in Kings College hospital for years.


The times are changing sweetie...

You are probably trying to be funny DM but all you really are is patronising. I wouldn't accept a drink from an airhead such as yourself. Has having your own website gone to your head that you now have to live up to some fictitious person you have created. I don't drink Guinness by the way.

Declan sweetie, how could having a website gone to my head? I don't understand. I have had my blog for almost as long as this forum has been up and running lovley boy.


Is it not true that during the late 80's and early 90's, those training as nurses in Kings College Hospital (then Normanby College of Nursing) consisted of 95% southern Irish females who drank at The Swan in Stockwell? How is that patronising?

Fine. I'll just ignore you in future.You don't merit any of the attention you are obviously seeking. Bye...lovely girl.

Jack Charlton in my 'umble opinion the worst Manager(or certainly one of the worst) in my 47 years of watching The BEAUTIFUL Game..not Jack's Ugly efforts(Sheffield Wednesday being a perfect example)...shame he ever became a Manager, with his little Black Book(for those who remember such things)..


JC's famous quote on MOTD.."I'd like to get 21 0/0 Away Draws all season)

Sod The Entertainment(Thats my quote)...

...and he touched a few areas of various English Forwards too:))...ask Peter Osgood or Jimmy Greaves or Francis Lee-the;ve still got the bruises:)

You need to go back to the question you asked in the first place to realise your question has an incorrect answer. I'm not sure there is a correct one. Northern Ireland had no affinity with Jack Charlton.


And TLS may be slightly embarrassed if I mention that Peter Osgood is unlikely to still have the bruises!

I forgot to mention it SteveT but he did get sacked.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
