I wonder, Polish & Lithuanian Catholics who make up a significant increase in the Catholic population moved to what they believed to the UK, so they may remain loyal to the country they believed they moved too, as oppose to those who moved to the Republic and consider themselves alligned with Ireland. I reckon (hopefully wrongly) than alot of the new Catholics are pro-British votes.
Like the Italian Catholics before them? The Poles and Filipinos tend to use CCMS schools, live in nationalist area and marry into the Catholic community. Odds are those that stay will assimilate as the Italians did.

goody
boxty
cally
Proper Irish food
Deadly!!
Also: Bacon, turnips and spuds
Bacon and cabbage...and spuds
Mackerel cooked on the tongs with a feed of spuds and a raw onion
Gorra bui (beastings from a cow boiled up)
Cally with spring onions cut up (Ya know the summer is on the way when ya have this!)
And of course beef and Guinness pie This Aussie wan was asking me the other day did we eat beef and Guinness pie all the time in Ireland so I told her the truth....the recipe died out with the last Leprachaun!
My God. Giorra BuĂ. Seriously. I heard of people eating beastings/colostrum fried or boiled but assumed it was poverty food and not from choice. Have you eaten the stuff? At least it would prevent you from getting white scour for a while. The rest of the stuff is great fare.

Jesus not another of these threads. Usually started by some hungry hoor.
What was the top ten on Ultimate Ulster then? No doubt it was the 6 county fry?
From what I remember
(nothern) Irish Stew
Champ
the fry
Chinese curry
Italian food
sea food
Steak (#1)
forget the rest.
Since when was Chinese curry and Italian food.. traditiona irish food?

Their leaders were all taken off yesterday, Dooher, McGinley, Gormley and we've probably seen the best of them. I think probably the only possible retirements will be Dooher and McGinley but even at that I think that it will be impossible to replace them in the short term. Ulster will be wide open next year....but Cork could well be the new dynasty in footballing terms.
Cork were brilliant yesterday, Tyrone were terrible. Beat by 5 points was it? Hardly a mauling. I can't understand how people come out and fire names off randomly regarding retirements etc. Sure Colm Cooper should have retired before the Dublin game too should he have not? I think Dooher will call it quits and Collie Holmes, but the majority of the rest will stay. Enda McGinley is a brilliant athlete and footballer, and has only came back from a bad injury and as a result doesn't have his best game - hardly a call for retirement expecially considering his age and previous. Tyrone would have been a different animal yesterday if McGinley and Sean Cavanagh had been 100%, but they weren;t and Tyrone were beaten by the better team on the day. I don't see how Cork will start a footballing dynasty either, their key players are getting on a bit and its not like they have dominated underage football. I hope Mickey Harte stays on but he needs to freshen things up personnel wise. The only comment anyone would have against Harte is that he appears to be too reluctant to bring new players through instead of relying on players he has had faith in for years. There is lots of talent within the county and there has been multiple All Ireland Minor, Hogan Cup, Vocational Schools winning sides that have produced top class players.

I thought the Constant Gardener was a terrible film...very slow and depressing.
I watched Babel last night with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. I thought it was excellent.
In contrast I thought Babel was self-indulgent shit. Trying too hard to be profound I'm afraid.

The worse defeats are based on expectations going in, it can be crushing.Quote from: tbrick18 on August 18, 2009, 08:28:39 PM
For me it was the '94 defeat by Down in Celtic Park...it signalled the end of the late Eamon Coleman's tenure of the Derry team and with it all hope of a second deserved all-ireland for that team.
The worst day for me was against Galway in 2001. I didn't have any expectations going there other than defeat but when we were winning so well mid-way through the second half I started to dream of a glorious victory.
That was our best ever chance of an All Ireland since 93 but it wasn't to be and the last ten minutes were a horrible time if you were a Derry fan.
Galway fans even said after the game that they couldn't believe they had won and that they didn't deserve it but it was no consolation. We were like cats on the way home. We nearly fought outside Slane and one boy got out to walk home.

Star Trek is a thrill ride from start to finish, im a big Star Wars fan and loved some of the Trek movies especially undiscovered, and first contact.
I went with a mate who hates spaceship movies as he calls them, but he enjoyed it. The story is fun and fast paced, one of girls on the bridge is super hot, great special effects aswell, how good were the actors playing spock and kirk, fair play. JJ Abrahams can do no wrong it seems.
Watched Pineapple express last night aswell, cracking show, ridiculus scenarios but hilarious stuff .
