Irish Roads

The broken shards from the pint glasses prehaps?

Prehaps it might do a better job than an OUZO glass

This thread reminds me of the old nursery rhyme we used to chant in nursery.

You know the one:

The English are a funny lot
They call the Irish Paddies.
Little do the English know
The Irish are their daddies.

We English only attempted to exchange some civilisation for a few counties and a couple of castles. Cripes, where is the gratitude?

It wasn't the Castles that annoyed those countries!

It was the Union Jack deckchairs on the beech!
It was the failure to ever buy a round in a pub!
It was the placing of towels on pool loungers at 5 am. And then never using them that day!
It was the dragging of those nations into every fight you picked with another country!
It was the way you managed by you superior military tactics to slaughter vast amounts of the foreign soldiers in your army!
(Right Johnny Foreigner! Over the top and walk very slowly towards the guns!)
It was the way you tried to put a Fruit machine in every pub because you are incapable of carring intelligent conversation!
It was because you find Last of the summer wine funny!
It was because you think a German family are what defines you as a Nation!
It was because you created the Hooligan! (and now we all get treated like cattle at a match)!
It was because you invaded every country but as soon as foreigners went to Ye, You created the B.N.P.
ETC ETC ETC

But not the Castles!
We make a few bob with them and the tourists!
