Mr. Shock can you tell my esteemed opponent that I enjoy our intellectual tete a tete.
Wait how do you say tete in Welshish?

Judging by how much you debaters drink, I figure I could make a small fortune selling these things around here. I will just have to get the specs and put some of these bad muthas together!

I believe the Welshish word for tete is "rugby". Got your helmet?

No can do, wife is from Renfrewshire, she WILL stab me, AGAIN!

Can't win really - brits are nuts, and the irish are worse.

Now that round 2 is just about wrapping up I think that this song is appropriate here.





The waiting is the hardest part!

Thank god I can edit in the pub

The Irish are indeed the worse, as far as I can tell anyway.
I can't understand a word they're saying.
Probably for the best.
And what's with the singing with THOSE PEOPLE?

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Well, being of irish descent (father and mother) but being raised in the north west of england, the only excuse I can think of is that we like to have a good time.

And a good time includes music

And music includes singing

Sunday Bloody Sunday. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you just think 'Sunday, bloody Sunday!'.

I don't think you understand what it means to be Irish...(granted, my ancestors are Irish; I live in the Colonies).

At any rate, Sunday, you wake up to the realization that there are many things that could use taking care of, look to the kitchen to find a mostly empty box of cereal (there is, however, enough for a quarter of a bowl...a small bowl), sigh a reflief because there is no milk any way and then head on outside to pickup the newspaper (in this case, ATS). After reading the headlines, you realize that something is missing...and walk to the pantry to grab the Bushmills (in this case, Bacardi Gold). You pour a double shot (because it is Bloody Sunday; IRA be damned) and fight back the regurgitative reflex while chasing with orange juice (which should have been Coke and then milk, but you are out of both). You then make a mental note of all the tasks that need accomplishing and realize that they will indeed be there tomorrow and the world won't end in the interim.

Seven double shots later and a bunch of semi coherent newspaper interpretations (in this case, ATS posts) and you get up to visit the privy only to trip on the chair and hit your noggin slightly on the desk, which results in a slight cut, invoking an out of context statement meant to be clever, "Sunday, bloody *%&%^ Sunday,"...

This is not a true story...but it some how seems more accurate than your picket fence portrayel..

Just another day living the dream, huh? Seems appropriate. Who says we need to all agree to be comfortable?

Indeed, another day in paradise.

As for the 'not needing to agree to be comfortable', I would have thought that a given...we are in the Debate Forum..

Hey maria_stardust should get all the time she needs to finish the debate and we should all drink to her safety from Hurricane Ike!!!
