The General Conversation Area

“The Scots invented hypnosis, chloroform and the hypodermic syringe. Wouldn’t it just be easier to talk to a woman?”

Cheeky f**ker! :eek:
 
Genuinely a Dundee comic's slogan:

Y'know, like the Irish make a big celebration of St. Patricks and all...

It's less the Irish themselves and more US and Canadian plastic paddies who made St. Patrick's Day a big thing - It's got pretty much bugger all to do with Ireland, it's more like "Wear a Green Hat and get Paralytic Day, sponsored by Guinness®".

But I'm sure as the men in suits yearn for new holidays to make money out of, St Andrew's and St. George's day will eventually get there. We'll all be wearing plastic knight helmets and swilling Copper Dragon ale soon enough.
 
I don't know what to do with myself now I can't pun...[sad face]

I thought I'd found my "thing", my purpose in life, my true calling... *sigh*

I guessed it would have something to do with America, they seem to make a holiday out of anything...
