I doubt but some of what you were taught in primary school was based on a myth or a bias on your teachers part. The Penal laws didn't happen until the early 1700s',long after the first English invasion,& was an attempt to destroy the Catholic influence here by forcing the people to convert. It never actually banned the Irish language (the teachers might have taken that upon themselves) The Anglican Church were printing bibles in Irish in to the 1800s', some of the people on the famine ships couldn't speak English.
That's only the tip of the iceberg & sadly I'm not an expert,I should have paid more attention at school
I'm a little bit unsure whether you expect a reply, when the event happened 8 months ago & the line you've used is taken out of context. The thread had nothing to do with government.
But you do realise, if you're unhappy with the government,or with paying your taxes,the opportunity is always there for you to start a new thread about it
Maybe it's time to stop trawling through the ancient threads
Wouldn't have an idea,Pedro. But if there was 8,000,000 odd here in the 1800s',& we had a lot of promiscuous women putting out in the 1100s', there was probably 5 or 6,000,000. Maybe
Gaelic resurgence (1350–1500) Additional causes of the Gaelic revival were political and personal grievances against the Hiberno-Normans, but especially impatience with procrastination and the very real horrors that successive famines had brought. Pushed away from the fertile areas, the Irish were forced into subsistence farming on marginal lands, which left them with no safety net during bad harvest years (such as 1271 and 1277) or in a year of famine (virtually the entire period of 1311–1319).
Outside the Pale, the Hiberno-Norman lords adopted the Irish language and customs, becoming known as the Old English, and in the words of a phrase coined in later historiography, became "more Irish than the Irish themselves." Over the following centuries they sided with the indigenous Irish in political and military conflicts with England and generally stayed Catholic after the Reformation. The authorities in the Pale grew so worried about the Gaelicisation of Ireland that, in 1367 at a parliament in Kilkenny, they passed special legislation (known as the Statutes of Kilkenny) banning those of English descent from speaking the Irish language, wearing Irish clothes or inter-marrying with the Irish. Since the government in Dublin had little real authority, however, the Statutes did not have much effect.
Throughout the 15th century, these trends proceeded apace and central government authority steadily diminished. The monarchy of England was itself thrown into turmoil during the last phase of the Hundred Years' War to 1453, and the Wars of the Roses (1460–85), and as a result, direct English involvement in Ireland was greatly reduced. Successive kings of England delegated their constitutional authority over the lordship to the powerful Fitzgerald earls of Kildare, who held the balance of power by means of military force and widespread alliances with lords and clans. This, in effect, made the English Crown even more remote to the realities of Irish politics. At the same time, local Gaelic and Gaelicised lords expanded their powers at the expense of the central government in Dublin, creating a policy quite alien to English ways and which was not fully overthrown until the successful conclusion of the Tudor conquest.
Haven't heard of tops & tails since I was a child You wouldn't even get a cuddle that way,never mind a humping (dry or otherwise). Best you'd get there is someone spending the night kicking you in the mouth
Seriously though,I don't know why CS should have any expectation of people putting up pictures. It's not as if this site is remotely private or secure. As a minimum people should have to log in to view other members profiles & even at that I'd probably remain the secretive Scorpio
There are no exceptions Maybe we could share one - it does look very spacious.
Are you planning on doing it while they're watching? I doubt it'll be like a Radisson,the choice mightn't be available.
I'll be the one standing all 5 feet tall For all I'd, know,in that outfit, it could be a mustachioed Mexican dwarf with a squeaky voice. We'd better agree on a secret handshake beforehand.
I'd never have believed that getting sent to jail would take so much planning.

Depends on whether you're showing a training video or a practical demonstration...
