I'm pretty content to say he's British, there's no way an Irishman would get his teeth done like that
have you given brendan his shopping list?
The lighthouse is at Whitehead. Don't try and fool these people. Best local trader: The off licence in Ballycarry called the Ballycarry-out.
Haha. The French have an expression which translates as "going to the gasworks" and what you have in mind is exactly what it means.
Maybe not then. It was two semi detached cottages in a field. There was no road to it, so you had to climb over some fences and there was no electricity.
I was at a party hosted by Greeks one night, one of them had put a large sheet of paper up on the wall for the party goers to write something on. One guy wrote "Toto loves it Greek style". The girl who put the paper up was delighted, thinking that this guy loves the way Greeks do things.
The look on her face was priceless when we explained what he really meant.
There's a lighthouse right next to Ballylumford power station.
I think I know those cottages too. They were across the field at the back of the cottages I think...
I'd need to ask one of my mates who were more sober.
Perfect for a disco.
Will do it by mid May....gonna be a long summer and we'll have to probably wait till World Cup over. Dont want to take the risk signing players before that...
That post is soo last page.
Is it really that difficult to understand that some people who feel no allegiance to a country, and have never wanted to be part of the country would object to being called members of that country?
I have no idea what way Rodgers feels about it, but I do know that it is a controversial issue and that it is up to the individual themselves as to what way they which to define themselves.
They can object to it, it doesn't make it any less true. I'm European whether I like it or not, I'm a human where I like it or not, that's just the way it is.
Well none of the countries conquered in WWII became Germany, so probably not, who knows though. The fact you're comparing Nazi Germany to Northern Ireland is quite laughable though.
The fact that you're comparing being human to being part of any nation is twice as laughable.
I'm arguing semantics, not politics. How about we have one thread in which a person from Northern Ireland is mentioned where we don't have Irish people coming in telling us that we can't refer to him as British, despite it being his nationality of birth. It's tiresome and somewhat hypocritical.
Hypocrisy rings true in Britain more than any other country.
I remember the London Olympics thread here a few years back where people were in tears and overjoyed when a few gold medals were won.
About two weeks later a thread started where people were moaning about Immigration.
Despite the fact that 90% of the gold medal winners were either immigrants or direct descendants of immigrants.
Hypocrites?
Please.
And citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland and referred to as British.
