irish sports analysis is important

here's my island dayo, let me know if it fits the bill as a craggy island substitute

how would someone from a visible minority do in achill?

Ay that's a craggy island xp

idk

it's insular and clannish but not in that stupid movie way.

curiosity, and more than likely clumsy reference to it a fair bit at first, but in a hamfisted goodnatured discomforted way, or then again maybe terrified to make any ref at all. hard to say.

not much in the way of whispers before or after you, and i'd like to imagine nothing in the way of outright abuse based on it- we save that for the english ime, and they fuckin love it until they're drunk and looking for trouble anyways.

small community, everyone from outside yr house is a bit strange to you bytimes, kind of thing. ppl from sligo are foreign, and brits are likely as not mental nuisance artists. a quiet lad from bangladesh that got his round in would do ok i think.

When you go out deems what's a good benchmark for how many pints to consume in a night. Let's say from 9 PM - 3 AM

distant dublin cousin of mine is married to someone from i think indonesia and aiui there hasn't been too much racism, they are both drs which probably helps in terms of being accepted but there were difficulties with the marrying a muslim aspect, i think it got smoothed over but who knows what grudges are held by the old ones out in the country

i dont drink pints but taking yr question in fair spirit call it one every 30-40 mins until lurching into the nightclub round the back at around 1am and then it's double vodka red bulls as fast as the staff can handle ye until kicking out time

What's your poison of choice then

how would you answer that question with an impersonal you, like if u were writing a style guide for young dubliners?

xp

i) dublin is different tbf, either side of it and both sides of it
ii) i dunno would being a doctor of southeast asian descent lower any likely impact- it is a bit of a cliche like.

whcih question nakh

fuck ya i typed 'knack' there and had to turn back

my country cousins are now into 'drugs' which i think means skag and a bit of the old thieving from senile relatives apparently

poison is usually straight and amber coloured, if i'm thirsty it'll be a cider of any quality but v rarely more than 2 pints, a standard 9-3 is rare but given those parameters i'll go shot-for-pint with the lads until the nightclub and prob join them in the stupidity at that stage

drink qn

heroin! in the country!

i am a terrible naif when it comes to what the youth may or may not be up to, but i dont think unkindly of them for it or anything. my crowd from 97-99 were mainly british (as alluded to) and therefore anything was to be expected of them and spliff was not a stranger to the extended gang, tho sadly i never partook

i would not write a style guide for young dubliners and i cant remember enough of my grammar (for we learn v little of it as a formal subject tbrr) to fully comprehend what is being asked of me there

i remember having the "drugs aren't intrisically evil but if you overdo anything it will make you a tool" convo with my eldest and he looked at me in a way that made me not want to bother sharing my horror stories with him

what the hell time is it there deems

it is TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY here gbx. time stops at 22:59:59 so it is that time

i am currently awaiting confirmation from the FA as to whether i can move to the bedroom

i think most of the alkies were spirits predominantly, so maybe a half a dozen bottles a week between home and away? i don't really have any idea what safe responsible friday blackout drinking in ireland entails, family alcoholism means a lot of abstemious types who wouldn't touch more than a couple drinks

oh right what's the norm

idk friday night drinking for yr teen discovering their limits would probably entail, after the usual settling-in period, one of these without being considered exceptional. i recall planning to do two of them more than once, tho i can't claim to have much recollection after the fact of having done so

A naggin contains 200ml of liquid.[2] The next size up from a naggin is 350ml in volume, often called a,"shoulder" "daddy-naggin" or "double naggin", despite falling short of truly containing twice the amount of fluid, the next size is 700ml and is known as a "neck". Naggins, particularly those of inexpensive vodka (such as Huzzar), are popular among youths, under-age drinkers and students. They are often implicated in binge drinking.

Although the smaller size is the same as the volume of a Chopine of wine, the bottles are usually significantly different in shape. The naggin bottle is typically short and flat, suitable for placing in a pocket

really covering what matters there tbf

like we are def talking underage here. idk once yr 18 do you keep count really

A naggin contains 200ml of liquid.[2]

the systeme integrale unit corresponding to a culchie's first fumbled shift

/internationale

"shift" has to be punt-era currency surely, can't imagine the tiger cubs didn't coin their own

The worst is 'feek', 'feekin a byur' god help us 35 miles away and its another language

xp two naggins and ice is a pint, and looks like water

I quite like the fact people who sneak drinks into pubs are called "crouching tiger" (hidden naggin).

Idk about Achill but kids growing up in most towns above 10,000 people would probably know a couple of Asians, Nigerians, definitely Poles, Lithuanians, etc, today, I think.

Today, and towns over 10k, yeah sure

Makes u wonder how a burrito stall would do in clones

RE: good irish tv shows. wasnt this meant to be good? i didnt see any of it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Mule

What do you suppose an Irish burrito would contain xp

carrots and parsnipa

like the way this got onto the harp ad within about 20 posts.

xpost bacon and cabbbage

Carrots, parsnips, bacon, cabbage xxp

That'll do for me

According to Google Maps, the nearest Mexican restaurant to Clones is in Navan. If we all chip in some seed money, i think this Irish burrito stall thing could have legs.

The Burrit'o Stall

Can we christen it "An asal beag"?

As Alamo

Carrots, parsnips, bacon, cabbage

A sausage drowned in ketchup and some pudding and we're done.

I can see a visit to El Toro Loco in my future next time I'm home.

Cuisín mar ya

burrito place opened in limerick last month. looks manky inside though.
