J'adore le St Patricks Day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I ended up drunkenly attempting some Irish dancing in a pub along with several other inebriated people last night! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif)

The drunken prats were out in force in Manchester yesterday - at lunchtime!! I doubt many were actually Irish.

I bet the Irish don't celebrate St George's day the way we celebrate St Patrick's! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It was all harmless fun last night, but I agree, some people see it as an excuse to get wasted and be a general nuisance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I have just noticed that no Forum members appear to have a birthday on the 23rd of this month and yet 23 is the smallest number of people you need, for the probability that two of them share the same birthday to be greater than 50:50!

And yet, in October, for example, the 23rd is the most prolific day in this regard!

Suitably random comment for you all?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I had gone to the pub at the arts centre, I was tempted to have a go at the Irish dancing (I used to do it when I was little!) but my boyfriend persuaded (e.g. forced) me not to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So have you got a Dutch passport and a German one, and an English one? I know plently of people with dual-nationality, but haven't come across anyone with three nationalities? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Just a Dutch one, because my Dad is Dutch. I don't actually speak the language though and I've never lived there either.
I was meant to get a German one but they wanted both my parents to go to the embassy and they also wanted to see some piece of paper that my mum couldn't be bothered to find.
Don't have British citizenship, so no British passport. This would be my preferred option, but it costs something like £700 to get citizenship, so.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Oh Gosh!!! Where were you born BB? You sound English so you must have lived here a good long time at least...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)


I can say how are you in Dutch but I can't spell it!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Something (pronounced phonically) like this "Hoo gaat het met yow?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

Had a Dutch (half Dutch?) friend at uni.

That explains you sounding like you are English then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I knew of the German connection but not the Dutch one.
