Silly Picture Thread.

Clearly you haven't had to queue at Immigration at Heathrow recently. The queue organisers make that nice man and his puppy seem like a long lost cousin.

OME

Nah, you're going the wrong way about it Sir. . . . you need to fly into Belfast NI, very quick and efficient there. . . then you hop on a train to Dublinistan ( EU Zone) and take a ferry to Holyhead or Fishguard. . .no passport control, no customs. . dead easy. Bit circuitous, but the scenery from the Dublin train is quite pleasant . . .and Guinness is only around fifteen euros a pint there. . .

Our local Pub is having a special on Guinness for St Patricks Month!! at $8.00 a pint. That is EU5.70 at todays exchange rate. It may not be the genuine Irish stuff but the price difference is enough to make the taste buds adjust very quickly.

We lived in Cappoquin (Co. Waterford) and Dundalk (Co. Louth) for 18 mths in 2006/2007. My wife drinks the black stuff, I don't, but it was nowhere near that much back then. I'd be surprised if it was 7 euro a pint.

 

Mind you the Dublin stuff may be better... we were told that they produce 4 grades of Guinness... the best stays in Dublin, second best goes around the rest of Ireland, third best goes to the rest of the world... and the worst is sent to England... their words not mine!! spacer.png

An Irishman in Dublin spots a Man drinking from a stream known to be heavily polluted from the local sewerage works.

 

He says in a very heavy Irish accent "Don't be drinking that water Man, you get sick" - of course a heavy Irish accent is very hard to understand for anybody.

 

The man replies; "I'm sorry Chap, I couldn't quite understand what you said, I'm from London you know, I'm travelling".

 

The Irishman, mustering as clear as english as he can, says; "I asked you if you wanted a glass?".

Very close according to what I just read on the 'net, the late bars are close to 7, regular hours its 5.50 to 5.90. Down under in the trendy Perth city centre bars its probably around $12.

Easter was actually the pre-christian festival of spring. The word Estrogen has the same roots. Similarly, Christmas is the feast of the winter solstice.

 

Ever consider the names of the days of the week? They also pre-date the christian era.

 

Our lot celebrate easter in such a non-religious way that nobody could be offended, unless of course they wanted us to join their particular cult.
