Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you!!!

Hope you can call round to our BBQ on Saturday evening...

see here...http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=4233

If you want to speak with an Irish accent today try this link...http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~cb...rted/DOYLE.HTM

And here is an enormously tasteful website devoted to Irish Proverbs...http://welcome.to/proverbs

(Please note the correct etymology of the word feic (pronounced feck) as the root of the verb 'to see'...)

So if you want to say politely to someone today...'I'll see you later'...this may be translated as 'feic off'...

Another very warm Irish greeting is 'Pog Mo Thon' (pron. 'pogue mahone')...that will get you a free drink in an Irish Bar every time...

So...Pog Mo Thon & Feic Off

Jackeen & Missus xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Louise · 18-03-2004, 01:17 AM

Happy Paddy Day. (I know, it's a day late - but that's Oirish for you!)

Louise · 18-03-2004, 01:24 AM

EXCUSE ME, MISSUS, BUT I THINK YOU'LL FIND I GAVE THIS SMILIE TO YOU AGES AGO AND YOU SAID YOU WOULD SAVE IT FOR PADDY DAY. AND YES, I KNOW I AM SHOUTING!!!!!

Louise · 18-03-2004, 01:26 AM

Anyway, what are you doing on the internet at this time of night? Don't you have work in the morning? Or are you skiving off AGAIN?

jackeen's Missus · 18-03-2004, 01:36 AM

Have done one & will do another extra Friday so have bought tomorrow back...need to tidy up a bit round here!!!!

This means I will be online so I hope there's plenty bollix space on the hard disk!!!!

Missus

Oh and they messed wiv me paddysmiley...
And I'm too tired to fix it...

no this one...

Louise · 18-03-2004, 01:39 AM

Hmm. I'm beginning to suspect you don't really have a job at all (at all, at all). No doubt we'll speak in the morning (if we're up before midday) - mostly bollix, I dare say, but we might do a bit of BBQ planning?

Anyway - GET TO BED!

Nighty night.
