If Ireland defaults, yuou could end up having the Wermacht marching their way down O'Connell Street.
I think they would be welcomed by many in Ireland.
Don't worry - the Queen is on her way to save you all.

She's going to the Guinness Brewery - so I hope it isn't that one.

I think she kicked up a fuss the last time she was there as there were no pork scratchings.
As for th pints I havent been in it, its a soccer pub and has been in the news a few times lately. Its owned by a Celtic player.

Probably explains it then. Those Scots hold bitter grudges - not like the laid back Irish.
She probably has another 299 pubs to chose from anyway.

She should have known better than to ask for pork scratching in an Irish pub. What she should have asked for were, of course King Crisps - which would be totally appropriate.

I hope you are referio southern Tayto and not that northern rubbish. Phillip is barred from Abrakebabra. He doesnt see eye to eye with the staff. ;-)

Funny how a thread gets so off topic.

Tayto and King are one and the same (I think). King were reserved for pub sales.

I love abrakebabra, I cant say "hello, could I have an extra large kebab with chilli sauce please" without being called an english and someone threatening to kick my head in.

Ahh, the emerald isle!

I should point out that I'm exagerating, it was just the once and in Drogheda, which shouldnt really count as part of ireland, it's more like the helmand province, but with crappy weather and they speak less english.

Ahh Drogheda, the only town in Ireland where they display someone's head in a box as a tourist atraction. It really does make Helmand Province seem civilised.

We went to see that head on a school trip. The excitement.

Drawda is a kip in fairness.

It was standard fare for primary schools in the 60s. Put me off religion big time.

They were obviously still at it even in the late 70s. I went on a school trip there in 1967. Reminds me of the Father Ted episode where they go to visit the "stump".

Times have changed - I hope.

For the heathen English, here is what you all miss by not having a good Irish Catholic upbringing.



No wonder we're all disturbed.
