Well it was lost on me BlackRain probably due to the fact that you have never shown even a hint of mirth in any of your previous posts so you kinda caught me off guard. :P

Errr couple of hundred years too late, the British anhilliated most of our culture in the 1700-1800s, there are only about 30,000 people left who speak Ireland as a day to day language.
Also then "neutral" America had no interest in the Irish independence movement since they had yet to heal the wounds of 1812.
Its largely thanks to the British (and the 70,000 Allied soldiers that came from the republic alone (then known as the free state) that we aren't speaking German now, or worse.
Incidentally our shameful neutrality during that just war wasn't about cowardice, it was about consolidating the bigoted politcial power of the De Valera government

If you can't tolerate some ribbing from the maestro of insults; move towards the red door that clearly states "excrement post-forward and f*ck off".
Love Mocking.

- a particularly sad episode in UK/Irish relations - mostly due to the 3'bs - beuracracy, bigotry and bloody-mindedness on our part. BTW did we ever get around to saying sorry for not being more helpful ? Not much practical help now, I admit , but it would be right and proper and always helps for better relations.

Now I'll just call you a cry baby bitch - run along before I take your magic potato away from you.
I just spent two minutes boiling these noodles; when your gene structure advances to humanoid format feel free to bore me again.
All my love - Mocking.

It's okay darling, I'm sure your dark and brutalized operator soul can take up this challenge of inanity - after all you just dragged your bruised and battered body to a keyboard in an attempt to join the forever eternal Jesus Christ (soldiering) routine complex.
Impressive as wilted and weathered genitals.

Well until you get one of those fashionable black bars over your eyes, please refrain from overly dramatic mission prose. It leads to much giggling and loud *coughing*
Now don't let me keep you from running your monthly bath.

Any one that has a little hissy fit over a joke and then proceeds to regale a person with their hardships fits quite comfortably in the nunce folder.
I’m comfortable with my prognosis and yes I am mighty.
P.S next time use a toothpick and a pickled olive – then you can be classed as a true warrior.

Mocking just to be serious for a second, you might have thought it a joke but it's not funny here, I probably did and have gone a bit overboard on the insult front, but just think if someone made fun of the people dieing on 9-11, I know the famine was a long time ago but the graveyard's around here are full of it's dead it's just a different perspective around here to it that's all
ps. I tried the pickled olive it shot into my eye and almost blinded me p-)

Yeah I saw that. I used to think Frank Skinner was funny, but now I realise hes just a knob head, he'd most likely argue that it was just a joke but I think it was slightlt rasist. You'd think Badeal(sp) would know better him being Jewish and all.
At least it wasn't as bad as Kilroy calling us all backward inbred pesents live on his show!! and then refusing to apoligise!! ( good job on the british elecorate voting him onto the european parliment ). Only when he started insulting muslims did he get into trouble....
I know, I should take a chill pill and relax...... :lol:
