Darling ????

Let me pour you a nice big glass of Paddy Power?

I think a football commentator made a throw away line about Jack Charlton as being a man who could have stood and led a united Ireland... also similar line about George Best has been heard but of course he was born in Belfast.

Declan is spot on - no interest in Jack Charlton or the Irish football team from Loyalists in N.Ireland.

Unless of course you meant a united Ireland within the UK ;-)

Can we agree then that SteveT does not deserve his pint of Guinness?

I think Mattham actually said Jack Charlton in about the 4th post of this thread...

Absolutely, have only just read this thread, and almost spat water over the screen when I read Oliver Cromwell!

Keef.....absolutely to what?

[Keef]

That she's bloody funny!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Lighten up Dec, DM's as Irish as poteen - she's pulling yer plonker.

[Keef]

I wasn't going to let the cat out of the bag so quickly, but yeah, what PGC said.

[Narnia]

Well if that's the case I've been well and truly stung by DM. I was on the verge of reporting her to whoever. Still I won't 'talk' to her for a decent amount of time while I rearrange my ego!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

goe/oge?

[Narnia]

Whichever is better PGC.

[SteveT]

It feels like I've started another lot of "troubles".

Oh Yeah, very likely, the chances of you spitting any fluid not containing alcohol up the screen is very remote.

I do not know where Mattham's post came from, it seemed to appear sometime after I had put up the answer, as I had read that page a couple of times and completely missed it.

Declan it does not really matter if I deserve the guinnness meself, as I have not had a drop pass me lips for 20 years or more. I'm TT.

I shall not put up anymore of these intellectual challenges, if all you're gonna do is snarl at each other like a bunch of heathens.

[SteveT]

This thread also started with upper case now I think of it, I know it's only a pint, but I smell a rat.

I think the fat controller should explain himself.

Bloody Hell SteveT......blaming everyone but yerself. I like these intellectual challenges as you so call them. It led to an interesting debate of a sort. I've learned something from it and with your post even more...........that heathens snarl! Have another go..............ah go on..........would you like tea SteveT?

[SteveT]

Errrr, I don't drink tea or coffee either Declan......even if I don't live to a hundred, it'll certainly feel like I did.

Have another go..............ah go on..........would you like tea SteveT?

I think you must have been watching Father Ted, he has a housekeeper who sounds just like you Declan ah..go..on.

[Narnia]

Ah shure why not?

[mattham]

Right! Sorry, we must revive this! I've been away and only just noticed it. I'm not saying Jack Charlton could actually have united Ireland, but I'm definitely the first who said it in this thread (thank you for pointing that out Keef).

How do I go about claiming this prize? It is of tremendous importance to me as have lived an entire life of knowing less (and winning nothing) concerning football than anyone, ever. Could there possibly be a ceremony; maybe filmed and put on YouTube? Or maybe a local paper would be interested? Let me know your thoughts.

Well I believe out of all the Englishmen involved in Ireland in the last hundred years, he would have been the main contender, and although most readers were considering a political animal,

it was a footballer who had the balls for the job.
