RE: WHAT`S YOUR MOTTO?

Not exactly moto's but here's some Irish thinking....



Irish Diplomacy

Is the ability to tell someone to go to hell, so that he looks foward to making the trip.


An Irish mans Philosophy

In life there are only two things to worry about. Either you are well or you are sick. If you are well there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick then there are only two things to worry about. Either you get well or you die. If you get well then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you die there are only two things to worry about. Either you go to heaven or hell. If you go to heaven then there is nothing to worry about.

And if you go to hell, you'll be to busy shaking hands with all your friends. You wont have time to worry.


Irish Men

There are only three kinds of irish men that can't understand women, young men, old men and men of middle age.


The Irish

Be they kings, poets or farmers. They are people of great worth. They keep company with the angels and they bring a bit of heaven here to earth.

Murphy's Law

Nothing is as easy as it looks. Everything takes longer than you expect. And if any thing can go wrong. It will at the worst possible moment.

Famous people from your home/host city...

Talking about South Africa, there is a priest from Belfast who has spent most of his priesthood in South Africa helping Aids victims, raising money to build hospitals. Fr Kirean Creagh is famous for being the 1st person to take the new anti-Aids vaccine with out knowing what the side effects would be.

A Dublin writer related to the city is the writer Johnatan Swift. Who wrote Gullivers travels. He got the idea while sitting on the Cave Hill (a small mountain on the out skirts of Belfast) and looking at Napoleon's nose( a small rock formation on the mountain) looking for inspiration.

Belfast is also becoming famous as a tourist destination, with people coming from all over the world. One of the legacies of the troubles(can't escape history) are the wall murals. Every neighbourhood has mural's painted on the gabel wall of houses, depicting their version of events. Taking the politics out of it, some of them are works of art. beats looking at grafitti.

My wonderfull city is also famous for the Titanic. I know she sank on her 2nd voyage. The 1st was from Belfast to Southhampton. Here is two wee stories about her, that wasn't in the film..someone wrote on the bottom "Not even God could sink this ship". And the other is... in Ireland at that time we used the imperial system for measurment. And some off the pieces had to be ordered from France who used metric, so when they put her together, the holes didn't match. Forcing more holes to be drilled. Weaking the hull.

Another very famous Irish man is St. Patrick. Paddy's welsh. Figure that out ..Although not having a direct connection with Belfast he was a shepard on Slemish mountain(not far from belfast) when he heard God's voice.


Belfast was also the worlds leading producer of linen until the out break of WW1.

RE: Forums.

Hi n° 1,

I'm an Irish bloke living in Paris and I have been hanging around here for a few weeks. And I have found everyone who participates in the EU forum, polite, funny,sometimes very frank. I have also learnt silly bits of trivia and saved money on a shrink. Sometimes i have put my big toe over the line(generally after a glass or three of plonk) and have been slapped down like a pup but not in an impolite way.

I have also met some very solid Brits on the INT forum and enjoy with them and swapping idea's and mails. I sometimes have a look at the UK forum but it doesn't move very fast. Sometimes it goes days with out a posting. I have also noticed that some of the threads/posts are the same as the EU forum only a few days later(bit like how the UK is always the 1st to follow Brusselles), some of the answers are exactly the same...

No N°1, the people here are polite. What they are not is insular like Britain is..

RE: why do we divorce

coollieno,

I have just finished re-reading this thread and everybody who has posted is in agreement that kids are off limits. Some people rightly said that kids are used as a comodity to get more money or just to get their own back in some spitefull way. Anybody who does that is wrong.

Why do marriages/relationships fall apart,something along the lines..doing something in haste and repenting a leisure.

When two people meet and the sparks fly they become dopy. They are generally dopy for about 18mths. By which time the woman is pregnant or they have made plans to get happy harried. Maybe even bought a place to live together, entered into buisness together(not a good idea,not a good mix). And when the electricity fizzels out they are lost in the dark.

If a couple want to get married, I think they should be made to attend a course. And get informed about what it really means, the role of parenting, financial obligations, committment, respect, having breakfast with the same person 'till death do you part'.

By which stage they should have learnt that electricty doesn't die. It simply changes into another matter. Just like relationships they change too. Couples enter into marriage with out having though it through.

If they are thinking about seperating/divorcing they should also be made to attend a 'divorce course' and examen why they are divorcing. And examen why they are divorcing. If thats what they really want let them divorce.

An after thought, in school kids learn the three 'R's'.Why not teach them communication skills aswell. How to inter-relate with other people, respect. So when they grow up they are better infomed than us as to what it takes......

RE: Films adaptation of a novels

Hi mastic55..I agree with you the godfather..the film and the book are exactly the same...thats why both in my humble opion are classics..

RE: What song are you listening to,part TRZY!

Carl Perkins...Blue suede shoes(sun '55)

RE: The Premiership

The title stays at Old Trafford...simple. Raffa is a very good manager but he's not in Fergies league...United have too much fire power, through out their squad.....United have a game in hand against Fulham, when they win that they have the same points as Chealski and Liverpool..As for Arsenul forget it Man City will beat them into 4th....
