Happy St Paddy' s day everyone!!

I will be having a guinness or 5 later on. Even though I am scottish is descendancy, but your patron saint is cooler than ours!!!!

I gave up drinking.

You can still go out to a pub and watch all the other people drink ;)

Yeah I won' t drink on St. Patrick' s day, in the bars I' d get shot. lol

Happy piss 25c green beer for a week, and make up an Irish distant relative day![:' (]

Yes....I' m a little sour. The bar-going trailer trash around here give the " Irish" a bad name. At any rate, Slainte Mhath, and have a happy one.

Slainte Mhath

dia dhuit!

18 years of school, and not one person really learns Irish.

So, did the catholics decide if they' re allowed to get drunk during holy week yet?



Argghhhhhh! Talking banner ad ! Curse you all !

I gave up drinking.

Why? Money issue?

That' s a shame. It' s such a beautiful language, and it' s dieing out. I learn what I can, but I' m no longer in touch with anybody who speaks fluently, and that makes all the difference at picking up a language. I tell ya, I' d be all over it if it were offered as a course. It beats out German by a mile and a half.

No, I' m trying to cut most of the sugar from my diet. Cutting alcohol is easy, I' ll still drink the occassional glass of wine but no more whisky or beer. The tough part is giving up soft drinks. I used to drink 3 litres of coke a week, easy. I' m trying to limit myself to two cans a week now.

The amount of sugar in my old diet which is common to many of us is poison. Most people have no idea how bad white sugar is for the body. I' m not trying to lose weight or anything, I' m just trying to fix my diet. After about a month I already feel much better. I used to be always tired and generally felt like shit, I feel much better now.

Hmm why are you not drinking Coke Light or something? I takes some time but you will eventually get used to the taste.

If he can go cold turkey, he should. He won' t go into sugar withdrawl, and if he can kick it outright, there' s no reason to have that extra step.

Caffeine on the other hand, can be an absolute bitch to kick. I go into withdrawl & get massive headaches if I don' t have a diet coke a couple times a week.

Aspartame is even worse than sugar. I' ve decided to just restrict the amount of soda I drink.

And that' s never a bad thing. Cuts the risk of having stones in your kidneys for one. Plus those that have a history of diabetes in their family, like I do, have a better chance at not getting it if they watch the amount of sugar they consume.

Aspartame' s a carcinogen, but sucraclose (splenda) based drinks are fine if you can manage what you eat (quantity wise).

I just drink water... orange juice and milk on occasion but that' s pretty rare.

You sound like my ex. Anyhow they make Aspartame free diet coke also. I drink only Sprite now. Cola makes my mouth dry and doesnt taste all to good to me anymore.

Anyhow happy belated st. patricks day. I didnt do shit this year for once. Didnt do much the next day either. Hmm Yeah I had a bad drinking experience on my birthday and still haven' t fully recovered. But this weekend...looking like a good time tho throw a nother random party and fuck around with easter eggs. What kinda egg would turn out from a drunk?

A smashed one?

I can give up anything, only pussys with no will power let it get to them. Id almost start smoking just to show my friends how easy it would be. well I am sure its not that easy But I could do it.

I' d be all over it if it were offered as a course. It beats out German by a mile and a half.

I dunno, I find Irish to be boring and just a pain in the ass. But then again it was a pain in the ass, if your out to do it without being forced then I guess you might enjoy it more.

What Silent said is somewhat true, some of people do leave secondary school (high school) with a poor understanding of the language despite doing it for many years (this is due to poor teaching methods and other reasons but it is improving) but alot of people espcially those who want to teach need to have a very good understanding of the language. Irish is a mandatory subject in schools here. It is required in order to get into some Universities. Irish is the official language of our country even though only a small percentage speak it on a daily basis. Most directional signs are in both Irish and English. Our national anthem is always sung in Irish. There are areas in the west of Ireland know as Gaeltacht areas where it is spoken fluently and on a day to day basis. There is a tv station know as TG4 that boadcasts mosty in Irish. Haha you should hear South Park in Irish lol. So thankfully the language will never die out. I hope to one day speak it fluently.
