Why do Southern Irish Nationalists call St Patricks Day, Paddys Day!

Them Munster kutehoors trying to break away ?? :o

Seriously ... it's secularism trying to dump another Christian tradition

Never ceases to amaze me how much Jewish influence there is in the U S.
No wonder Israel can do what it likes. >:( >:( >:(

Anyway it's up to us here in Ireland to make sure that 1,500 years of (lip servces to ) Christianity isnt thrown out in a fit of " multi cultural " political correctness.
One thing we need to keep alive is that wonderful tradition of Bonfire night on 23rd June ... now sadly only maintained in a few parts of the Country.

All it means is that the management will be amalgamated.
The good people of Ballagh will still elect Councillors onto their own Roscommon Co Council and will be spared te embarassment of being told what to do by Mayogombeens ( instead of Ros gombeens -- Cllrs Ming/Mulligan/John Kelly honourably excepted  ;))

And its neither St Stephen's Day or Boxing Day, its Lá an Dreoilín.

Do they still do 'The Wren' or 'The Wran' where any of ye are from?
Just saw that the poem is in that link:



Still a bit of it round North Ros among the children when I was young ... we'd dress up in oul clothes and rattle a few coins, blow into mouth organs and the like door to door.
Now it's confined to occasional real musicians doin rounds of pubs .
The rhyme we had was
" The wran the wran king of all birds
St Stephenses day was caught in the furze
Up with the kettles and down with the pans
Give us a penny to bury the wran"
I believe wren boys were called mummers in parts of Laythrum .

Reducing the number of people employed in the Public Service, thereby reducing the number at work and increasing the number unemployed WILL NOT solve the problems the Irish State has got itself into due to the BertieCharlieHarneyBuilderBanker let it rip Economic style of the 1997 to 2007 era.

If Lynchboy can get Hospital Consultants for less than €100,000 ...  :o ::)

, but the next and only measure in order to reduce costs for Ireland inc. is to cut pubic sector wages and jobs.........

And all the public service workers who lose their jobs under the Lynchboy Recovery plan  ::) will obviously all vanish into thin air and not need any unemployment benefits or hospitals or schools for their kids.
They will also abandon their houses and mortgagaes as they vanish into the Lynchboysphere.
Meanwhile the schools , hospitals, fire stations, Dole offices,  etc etc will be closed.

Stop borrowing mony to pay the private debts of private banks .... that will save the State € 45,000,000,000 in further borrowings while they can offer the NAMA lands and assets as payment for the €55,000,000,000 already borrowed as a result of the Banks reckless greedy stupid pyramid scheme property bubble borrowings.

Time for the Capitalist word to come up with some new innoivative ideas instead of trying to patch up the failed Reaganthatcherist neo liberal globalisation nonsense we've had to endure since 1980.

majority of the income tax raised in Ireland. Even if only 20% of them ?

Taking from the willing to work and giving it to the lazy cnuts who won't........
at home and be as well off as opposed to going to work

Meanwhile in your dream world 453,000 jobs are unfilled in the 26 Counties.
Get a grip and talk some sense instead of spouting oul blinkered bullshit.

Panic is over.


They've got him ( or so it seems ) :

that a major line of enquiry is that a disgruntled former employee copied the information[/size][/b].


Soccerfella can relax ... it wasnt a bigoted anti soccer plot after all ;D

Robby Savage was class on 5 Live last night when he was asked if Newcastle was a big club :P 

"Newcastle aren't a big club, wow they get big attendances, but that is only because the people of Newcastle have nothing else to do."

:D

What in the name of God would Robbie Savage know about a big club? This no talent clown spent most of his time playing for rubbish like Leicester and Derby. Robbie Savage should concentrate on what he's good at fake tans and bleaching his hair despite the fact that he must be 35 by now. Newcastle is a far bigger club than any of the rubbish he ever played for

Who have both won top flight domestic trophies since the last time Newcastle have. Savage can be a bit of a clown at times but I agree with him on this.

Newcastle are a far bigger club then Leicester or Derby in the same way as Sheffield Wedensday, Forest,Leeds etc are far bigger clubs then the likes of Wigan and Blackburn just because some teams have had more success recently does not make them a big club

Why didnt ye all agree with Soccerfella that " this was a bigotted attack on his beloved soccer by an anti Soccer GAA bigot".?  ::)
Certainly RTE/TV3 could do with providing a mid week magazine type programme and have less waffle and more action o the Sunday night .

A GAA Stadium with a roof   ;D ;D ;D ;D
Wait till 1st April and try again  ;)

If this is a serious suggestion then God help us all.

He'll have his work cut out to get ito Breffni with a Season ticket if my experience when Ros played there in 09 is any guide.
After being sent to 2 or 3 different places  met a Maor who asked me was  "that a new thing? "  Yes.
" Does it get you into all the games?" Yes.
"Jasus ye're fierce smart bucks over there in Roscommon " ;D ;D
