    Cans would be what I'd say but here it's tins or tinnies. Doesn't sound right to me.

    Brown bull. Yes, of course.

    *pretends to understand*

    From your profile: "History
    of Ireland: Vikings, famine, British rule, civil war, big hair, recession, celtic tiger, recession again, NAMA."

    You skipped the pre-Viking era. All 9,000 years of it.
    Jaysus, do they even teach Irish history in school these days?

    Just search for "The Brown Bull Of Cooley" and see how those feckers in Ulster would never have become part of a united Ireland, even if the hated Brits had not invaded or if Ian Paisley had not created a Christian cult.

    Those feckers said "NO!" a long time before the Paisley cúnt.

    Here was me hoping to find out what to officially call one of my favourite beverage containers when I was blessed with the sight of this rant about the Brits. Thank you Terry, that'll learn 'em.
