I didn't even know there was an Irish festival. What exactly is happening and when is it?


On a side note: The Irish, Scots and (to some extent) the Welsh seem to have cultivated (in collaboration with the film and television industry) this myth that they are peoples blessed with uncommonly good looks.

However, I can report from experience that the general level of mingingness is no better than that of England, which is pretty poor in itself.

Dear Bob,


I should like to confirm your point, and hi-light that as a child, to be referred to as "ginger" (generally a Celtic - and even an Irish characteristic) was the verbal equivalent of a punch on the nose, or indeed a good kicking. In my opinion James Nesbit is a very Irish looking man, and his looks are so extremely offensive, that his facial features could indeed have been sat on by a very large lady when they were still warm and out of the oven.


Indeed "The Corrs" are in fact from West Norwood originally, and not Irish at all.


I think the men of Dulwich are a handsome body of men. I am partial to British men myself (the Scotts have thin noses and evil chins) and I am currently married to a Welsh man who has the most strapping thighs and high cheek bones, he must be 6ft 6 inches tall! He is also incredibly rich.


The Irish are not blessed with good looks, just rich husbands...

boy do I feel deflated.....


And londonray - as I pointed out so someone on another thread - easy on the CAPS SHOUTING (heck you even registerd in lowercase so no need to shout)


But as a fully paid-up Irishman myself I can slag Irish "country" music off as much as I like - I was brought up on the stuff (to the accompaniement of boiled cabbage and bacon)


And Dulwichmum is correct about DoD but doesn't go far enough - he makes his Fr Ted counterpart - Eoin McLove - look manly


We can love and hate the things about our roots londonray

actually red hair may be one of the last genetic vestiges of Neanderthal man. Modern theories suggest that they weren't killed off or outcompeted, they were brought into our stock through interbreeding and effectively disappeared as a separate species.

Among other things red hair is thought to be a neanderthal legacy.


I'll try and find a (missing ho ho) link.

There have been recent theories about neandertals interbreeding with our closer ancestors. Most of them stem from the discovery of a human femur that looked rather big and could possibly have come from a hybrid.


I thought that these were discredited however when they (the men in white coats they) managed to map neandertal DNA and proved that they were a seperate species who could not have interbred with us. I may be completely wrong about this though as I am a hack and not a scientist.


That aside I do have a thing for red heads. ;-)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
