The starving Irish hordes are at the border!

[egbert]

20,000 starving horses????

The author adds that "in the period of prosperity the proud animal was the symbol of high status'' but that "today, too expensive to maintain, they die of hunger".

If we can withstand an invasion of Poles (Poland having 10 times our population), I'm sure they can manage a few thousand Paddies.

Besides, Poland has plenty of experience of being invaded.

Don't mention the war!

You win the grand prize*! End of thread ...

Speaking of Poles...whatever happened to that Polish shipyard Union guy....Leks whatshisname...

Walesa left Solidarnosc in 2006, and is spending his retirement making himself some money and supporting eurosceptic parties, last time I checked

Kewl! Starving Irish horses means starving Irish aren't far behind. I can up my expectations for finding a nice spot alongside the loch...a castle now perhaps. Maybe I can afford to buy myself a peerage too, at a bargain price.

When do you guys put the hungry grass on the menu?

I thought that was a Japanese speciality?

"Even though we may have to eat grass, swallow dirt, and lie in the fields, we shall fight on to the bitter end ..." - General Anami, Japanese Army Minister, Aug. 1945 (post double-nuking)


As for us Irish, we shall eat any foreigners ill-advised enough to come here.

You'll have to talk to the folks next door about the peerage.

Make him an earl, and put him to flight.

and I'm related to Niall of the nine hostages, and would gladly sell a peerage to seth, as well as the eiffel tower and a few bridges.

Well, there you go, that was easy, wasn't it?

Now...about that provenance...

[Svartalf]

Well, since so many Irish nobles fled to Spain, all I could find for you was a Spanish title... would Conde Maricuña suit you your grace?

Now what the fuck good is that going to do me in Ireland?

[Svartalf]

Oh, that, for you, I have the title of Lord Shankill, the coat of arms is Azure, a plane argent with the seat ejecting.

I would prefer High King, the coat of arms is Azure, an F-22 argent with JDAM exunt, above "Sic Semper Tyrannis."

And for that one, ye be ganging stricht tae hell, ye sassanach omadhaun, no options to get tae Connacht fer ye

Says the starving Irish poet who can barely lift his arm, much less his broadsword...

Besides, I'm a Scot. A Bruce actually, from the borders, Roxburghshire, near Jedburgh, so I actually have a claim to royalty. So, on your knees you manky Irish bog-trotter, before I smite thee!

and I've got a few drops of Stuart blood from a relative of the old pretender who settled in Normandy after the events of 1715...
Royal blood is a lot more common than some people would make you think
