It just "so happens" that 30% of the Irishmen I've met over the last 45 years have been rat-assed at any given moment...but one person's lifelong experiences are not a true guide..I know that.


What next? The "Scots" drink excessively compared to The Italians?:X...make that :))

Keef, don't mention the ruddy "Engleeschers"...ruddy hooligans the lot of 'em...I'd put them all on an Island with all The Irish and Scots and Welsh and let them get on with it....

I know, I know....used to see them in Benidorm, Marbela, Ibiza, Arenal and all the rest back in The 1970's/1980's on my Summer Holidays...at least The Irish and Scots can take their drink at Football Matches abroad though.


On a semi-serius point, they put The English to shame on their travels and are wanted back everywhere, quite rightly..

Until they become violently ill due to over exposure to ginger hair.

Actually, the "Irish" are NOT my favourite people right at the moment due to 2 of their number over the weekend.



First one had a bet with me, at the last possible moment, to Win ?500 and was as drunk as a skunk and I was so empthatic to agree which animal he had backed that I did not have time to "hedge"..it Won..


Unbelievably fast forward 24 hours and same "last minute-last race" scenario where another Irishman who spent half the time being propped up and the other half, physically falling over backed the last Winner to Win ?550 and again I was so keen to establish and agree which animal he backed that, once again, I could not "hedge"....


Needless to say that also Won.


Back in the White City Greyhound Days from The 1950's onwards The Irish were the majority of the crowd and they "as a Group" are phenomenal Gamblers, absolutely phenonomenalB)


I must go to Cheltenham one day, as I'm told, constantly, that its a fabulous experience.

Have had my 2 pints of Guiness - made it back to work without temptation to stay out all afternoon and risk losing job, house, family etc, thats more self discipline than I normally muster on St Patricks day so am feeling rightly proud of self. Will buy a couple of cans of guinness on the way home to quieltly savour in front of tv, a quiet St Patricks Day.

Indeedy.


I would like to wish all of the lovely Paddies on the forum a happy St Patricks day. I am sure you are all having a jolly day here on the mainland but wishing you were at home dancing at the crossroads and eating Mikado biscuits and Tayto crisps. This country was built by the Irish and their super doopery building skills. God bless you all.

Um - Mikado biscuits - you know I did not realise these were Irish DM - therefore have just realised I have not seen them for the duration of my 20 years on "the mainland". Thought they had just stopped making them. I thought it was Kings crisps in the south and Tayto in the north, is that right or is that an urban myth.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • 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...
