    You've met me though lol.

    I'll not go on about it anymore other than to say if I ever mention it, jsut check what it is I'm responding to. You'll see i'm usually yanking your collective chains. In this case however I was telling you lot how my mum sees things. Its a carry over from her dad who, underneath it all was more tolerant than she will EVER admit.

    And there will be no trouble at the gatherings mostly cause I'll have my enforcers there.

    Well done on the phone Cinny, sounds like a good deal.

    I have got an Irish Uncle, lovely man he is too hehe. I just went for a trip aorund the local m and s, is a massive out of town one. Was looking for a duvet cover as they have 20% off home but couldn't find any I liked. They are all too flowery or just odd colours.

    I personally wouldn't be living in England if I had a grudge against the English as I think it is hypocritical.

    I think The Wind That Shakes The Barley is a brill film as it shows both the Irish/English side. I watched it with an English friend who said she never learnt about any of this in history in school. She was embarassed that she knew so little about what went on.

    I think they're just jealous of our effortless superiority. ;)

    Ye might feel superior but I don't think anyone can argue that the Irish have a pride and passion for their nationality that is second to none! Lol!!!

    You are a genius, how did I never think to show this to numerous people round here. It is an AWESOME movie.

    I am watching bridezilla and one of the brides just said she is only inviting rich people to her wedding so she gets better presents. She obviously got the idea of a wedding ...silly woman

    Urgh, thats awful! I want my family and friends there, and half of them make church mice look positively affluent! That said NIM and I were discussing how we get around registering for gifts - online means people from either side of the sea can do it easily, but obviously some people don't get the internet. And he commented we should use house of fraser rather than john lewis as his mum would think it was posher! I thought the queen shopped at john lewis?!
