We've just seen a UFO! No bull!

    Sorry to hear about that, Richard.

    Quote from "Tawakalna"

    But as this thing whatever it was disappeared off to the south-east, from the west where it had come from we did hear some jet engines and two small fast moving sets of navigation lights came steaming after it. Presumably the RAF chasing it, they disappeared pronto too but they behaved like planes should.


    Good ol' RAF! :D

    RN would have shot it down at least. Did you know that every air-to-air kill since 1946 has been made by ship-based aircraft? (Fleet Air Arm and RAF - RAF planes were based on ships during the Falklands War)

    That's only because you have no allies who will let you use air strips in their countries anymore so when the Hingrish want to invade some far flung backyard they have to bring their own.

    well at least we've still got some planes and ships; what have you got, a crop-sprayer that the farmer lends to the Garda for the annual St Kieran's Holy Anklebone Day parade when the RTE cameras turn up. What does old Popeface do when he turns up, bring his own? (oh yeh he does, forgot about that)

    We don't need fighter planes and war ships to invade other countries. We just open a pub and start selling Guinness and pork sausages to the locals...(well we did till Yurup decided that we had to throw all our rashers and puddin' in the bin last week).

    that's because they didn't comply to EU regulation 279/3345/PN-622 which states "sausages containing greater than 33% pork shall not deviate from an arc greater than 30 degrees of radian, and must not exceed 125mm in length"

    And the stoopid irony of it all was that instead of eating food produced in Ireland which would be safe unless you ate 4 ton a week for 35 years we threw it all in the bin and ate the gear imported from outside the EU where the pigs are on the same diet as Chinese weight lifters.

    I had a similar experience a few years ago. I was outside at about 9pm with some friends and I was talking to one of them and suddenly i look up and se this blue sphere glowing brightly fairly close above us just zooming over our heads making no sound no nothing. it was really fucked up cuz there were about 6 of us and only I saw it and this friend I was talking to cuz he saw me look up making a freaked out face. So I ask him. did you see that.... and he goes silent just nodding. Then I tried looking for a logical explanation but I couldnt find any because the only plausible thing that might cause a phenomena like that would be a fault line and we have no such thing on a radius of a few hundred miles, and normally the balls of light that are produced by fault lines are yellow-orange as the one you described. this one was blue.

    I live on a marsh, no fault lines around here.

    I don't know whether to be pleased or annoyed, after all, here in Bretonia we invented the public food health disaster (mad cow disease, listeria hysteria, seasonal foot n mouth etc etc) and now here's Knick Knack Paddywack land going one better! but it's nice to see smaller, less important, flyspeck countries following in our footsteps.


    Unfortunately for you lot over there in dat dere Craggy Oisland dere, yer stuck with the Ay-Yoo, having foolishly been taken in with the dreadful Yooro currency, whereas we (sensibly) didn't, thus giving ourselves the option, should our spineless and subservient politicians ever live up to their promises, of getting out of the despised EU. Europe, lovely place for a holiday and excellent shopping, but you don't want them regulating the shape of your bananas now, do you?


    I've had lots of those Irish sausages and I reckon the lard, fried bread, black pudding, and pint pot of tea with half a pound of sugar with gold-top prob'ly did more harm than a few dioxins!

    Why, what have the Welsh done this time? Nothing new for them to follow your lead I suppose, after all there are 14 million sheep in Wales, 3 million of which are 2 legged.

    Indeed, foolishly we took on board a currency which the U.K. smarts said would NEVER be worth anything close to the Pound. Yeh right! Currently trading at only 10 cent in the difference and closing.

    Taw my old friend, there are few things we agree on. This is one to be savoured, every last mouth watering bite. :mrgreen:

    couldn't care less. They could be made of gold and fall from the sky for all I care, real money has EIIR on it, we will never have the dreadfulness of the Yoorow in Bretonia and any govt that tried it would be out of office forever. Europe is where we go for nice holidays and fancy wines and cheeses and amusing novelty gonks, that's it. If we were meant to be part of Yoorop then the English Channel wouldn't exist and the little fella with the Charlie Chaplin moustache would have been goosestepping up Whitehall in 1940.

    English or French? Not much of a choice. I'll stick to plain ol' bangers ta.


    I suppose we had more reason to join than you. After all for us it was one more step further away from you lot.

    My guess of a weather ballon? Either that or you have that towel rapped a little too tight. :mrgreen:


    Or it could be the vulcans of first contact. What ever you do, don't scare them away. ;)



    Weather ballon? you fool...

    You never know, it could be. ;)
