Cranfield Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I was in New York on this day last year. We went and watched the big parade and nearly froze to death, it took hours to pass by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I know the one in the first picture (green sashes) , was from the NY Police Dept., I am not sure about the other one. There were at least 20 bands there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just been to the offy, fancied a pint of the blackstuff - sold out! Must be a large Irish population round here I didn't know about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Bl**dy rugby took a shine off my Paddy's day. Still p**sed though. I once heard that US has 60 million who claim to be Irish. There are only only 6 million odd on Ireland (north and south). I hope they don't all come home to visit at the same time!! Could get a bit cramped. As for the black stuff, its only part of the story. The Irish make the finest whiskey - have you tried Black Bush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish make the finest whiskey - have you tried Black Bush? You were robbed, that last French effort wasn't a try in my book - he landed and there were two distinct movements, the rules state that's not allowed. I was screaming at the TV and I am not even Irish As for whisky I am barred, the mrs says it makes me intolerable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 We did ourselves - we let in a soft try at the end to lose to France, and another soft try today to mess up in Rome. It would have been nice to win it though! Whiskey makes you intollerable? ...... I once heard an old rhyme "Whiskey makes you frisky, brandy makes you randy ..." but I can't remember the rest. I think there was a half decent punch line though! Any helpers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yeah if you hadn't wanted that last score and just ended it, you would have won it. But the last score from France wasn't a try, plain and simple. Anyone who has played the game would agree - he grounded it, bounced and grounded it again then lunged for the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I agree. I take it you are an ex-player then? So am I - I have the beer gut to prove it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 By way of a disclaimer, I played in front row where a beer gut could be construed as a desirable commodity. have you tried Black Bush? childish snigger Very good. The River the water comes from is the River Bush. It is darker in colour than normal Bushmills so it is known as Black Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, loosehead prop, then I took up ice hockey which was more violent and I slimmed a bit so played no8 when I came back to it and hated it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 the best about it the man who give the try was from belfast,,hes in for some stick Did strike me as odd. Ok the French won and nobody is disputing that, its a gentlemen's game - but the last phase of the match wasn't justified with a try. If I was irish I would be spitting blood now. More so given, as you say, the bloke with the final word on the matter being Irish - and with a totally dis allowable score to decide on - you have to wonder what he was thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
