Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't even celebrate pancake day, it's all a load of nonsense IMO I do. The most excellent of days, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Why do people in Scotland (and all over the world) celebrate St.Patrick's Day? People continually asking me last night why I wasn't wearing green was quite annoying. Maybe it's because I'm not Irish and have no connection to Ireland whatsoever? I'd want to celebrate St.David's Day but no one seems up for that for some reason. Pubs will be sent novelty Guinness hats and drunk people wearing them will be the only indication that it's St Patrick's day in the north east, it's the west coast Irish settler thing that you are referring to. It's Guinness day now anyway where 5th generation Irish talk loudly about the "old country" that they've never seen and drink lots of stout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) ..It's Guinness day now anyway .. This. The Guinness marketing department should be congratulated for making sure the World celebrates St Patrick's Day whether they are Irish or not.

Guest The Phoenix Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This.

I take it Guinness is also to be congratulated for your post? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_J Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Anyone know where in edinburgh, leith preferably, I can buy one of those Heniken 5L kegs? The lads bought one through for a night out last week and only about 1L was tanned before we headed out. The connector tap has been thrown out by accident so there is plenty of lager in there, just no way of getting it out (short of bursting the thing which i'm not after). Asda at Ocean Terminal didnt have any and the Sainsbury's local at the shore also drew a blank. Help appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Possibly? To be sure you fixed one of the errors before I managed to post, there's still one there though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This.

Recognition to the Johnny Walker team as well who have managed to convince most of the world that Johnny Walker is the best 'Scotch' available when it's a load of blended rubbish... imo. They're both Diageo anyway to the best of my knowledge so probably have the same kind of marketing dept. if not the same one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have a couple of questions regarding travel advice. Don't want to annoy everyone with yet another travel advice thread so I'll ask here: 1) Does anyone know where the best place in Europe to work this summer would be? I'm talking your Magaluf's, Zante's etc. 2) Is flying over on a one way flight with just a couple of weeks accomodation booked a good idea? Not flush just now and don't know the odds on picking up work quickly? 3) Is June 6th too late to realistically get work? I can't go before then. Ant advice would be great, I've heard the best way to guarentee work is to go over with a massive number of eccies, don't fancy 20 years in prison though so I'll give that a miss. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. 1) Of the three options etc is your best bet. 2) You can't fly on a two way flight or you be back where you started, so yes. 3) No but don't leave it any later. It's all downhill from June 7th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looking to buy a docking station for my iPod for no more than £100. Can anyone more technologically literate than me point me in the right direction? Don't care what it looks like, I'm more interested in getting the best sound for that price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should go into curry's or dixon's with your iPod and ask the salesman to help you out. I'm sure they wouldn't mind you going around a few to see what they sound like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyzem Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Is the law that anyone who looks under 25 in a supermarket must be ID'ed even if they're with someone well over 25, regardless if they're paying or not? I was in ASDA there with my dad and bought booze, I look well under 25 and wasn't ID'ed at all (I always am if buying myself). Yet yesterday the same scenario, the woman only ID'ed me because I was paying. I thought if alcohol was being bought, if anyone was looking under 25 with the person buying, they'd be ID'ed also. What's the script. My girlfriend used to work in Sainsbury's and legally, they only have to ask the person who's buying the booze for ID. There have been countless times where I've been refused drink (or in one case, cigarettes) because I was with someone without ID which is total bullshit and nothing angers me more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been countless times where I've been refused drink (or in one case, cigarettes) because I was with someone without ID which is total bullshit and nothing angers me more. I've been refused a number of times because my 23 yo brother's been there. Usually I go up to buy booze with no issue but as soon as he makes an appearance then they decide to ID both of us. He has ID but I don't have any unless I carry my passport around and they always use this excuse of "if we ID one of you then we have to ID both". I was able to legally buy booze a whole decade ago! Utter bollocks. Edited March 21, 2012 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The last time I was asked for ID was 22 years ago and I'm only 37. Even as a young man I had some hard miles on me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
