[Geoff_Tipps]

Why the fuck does everyone in Ireland say this instead of thank you?

[Ke1t]

I think that Irish people try to avoid using the /th/ phoneme as a word initial phoneme.

 

They often can't pronounce it well: thanks =tanks.

1 million is the cardinal number from 1000 x 1000.

 

It's a religious thing.

 

1000 in Irish is "mile"

 

You'd walk a mile to see a Cardinal and get his blessing then a mile home. So mile x mile translates as 1000 x 1000. In other words you'd get a million for a blessing or thank you.

 

Thanks a million.

 

 

 

You're welcome.

Is it not a sporting cousin of Shinty?

Everyone lived in an exactly 1 mile radius of their local cardinal?

[The Boofon]

No idea. I made that bit up. Sounds plausible though. The Cardinal living on top on a big hill a mile away from the parish fucking children left right and centre.

Was waiting for that.

Goof work Kelt

[Dal Riata Don]

At the top of the morning = nearly mid day so brightness & sunshine to you, I would've thought.

[E-P-K]

Was any of House of Pain Irish ?

[tommo1903]

I fucking hate the Irish.

 

Dropick Murphys are good but then again they arent even Irish. Fake Irish cunts.

[tup]

See my 'what do you think of Irish people' thread for the full lowdown on them.

 

It caused widespread outrage

 

I was even accused of being racist to Johnny Hayes.

[Bluto10]

No it didnt baldy.

 

Calm diwn Stop getting excited.

[tup]

I canna be arsed starting threads on here anymore and the popularity of the site has gone through the floor as a result.

 

I can start again for a fee.

[Poodler]

I can start again for a feel of Boof's wife. Everyone else gets too.

[tup]

I've never met boofons wife, I suspect she will be posh, so we probably wouldna get on.

[Bluto10]

Nae able to mix with superior folk like tup?

 

Makes sense like, I seem to get your back up without trying.

 

Dinna worry though I dinna hold your lowly social standing against you.

[tup]

No, you try very hard to rile me constantly.

 

You should be banned for it. The mods are getting the board they deserve by tolerating it.

 

I dinna get along with posh folk.

[Bluto10]

Right,...

Let's put our sensible caps on.

 

Why can't you get on with posh folk?

Whatever 'posh' means.

 

On the face of that it's just (inverted) snobbery, is it not.

 

To me, that says more about you and your social skills than it does about 'posh' folk.

Inferiority complex?

 

Im nae posh in the sense I think you mean but I'm educated and experienced enough to hold my own in any social setting g with anyone

[reekie_dock]

Am posh as Fuck is that why a cunt hates me?

[tup]

Never really looked into it much.

 

To me, the true posh hate football. They love rugby.

 

I prefer to mix with the working class.

[Bluto10]

Brought up in more rugby playing g schools, I guess.

 

Hardly a crime.

 

Some idiots even prefer golf to football.

Weirdos.

[looksgoodinred]

So by your own definition, Tup, why would you suppose Mrs Boofon is posh then? Since it's very often the case women like neither of those sport? And on the side of being non-posh, she's married to a man that likes football. So wouldn't you assume you'd get on with her rather than not, if and until proven otherwise?

 

And a Merry Christmas, Tup to you and yours! LGIR x
