    I just got my Bank of Ireland 2008 calendar.

    The months are prominently named in English, with translation in Irish, Russian, Polish and Chinese.

    Each page has a quotation by a famous person:
    January - John Quincy Adams - American
    February - Chinese proverb
    March - George Washington - American
    April - Oliver Wendall Holmes - American
    May - Mark Twain - American
    June - Charles Darwin - English
    July - Henry Van Dyke - American
    August - Henri Frederic Amiel - Swiss
    September - Anonymous quote
    October - Abraham Lincoln - American
    November - Francoise de Motteville - French
    December - Anonymous quote

    They could not find a single quote by an Irish person to put on even one page of the calendar.

    If I Tipp-Exed out the "Ireland" in Bank of Ireland would anyone notice?
    Would anyone care? Nobody in Baggot St HQ seems to anyway.
    Could it be a less Irish calendar if it tried? :mad:

    The name of the printer is conspicuous by it's absence.

    and so they should be

    What I want to know is... what's wrong with the left one?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I mean, come on. Is it really that big a deal that calender you got free from your bank doesn't have any Irish quotes on it ?

    The things some people get worked up about...

    +1 to that

    Aug 2008: "I don't know what a tracker mortgage is"

    or the classic

    Sept 2008: "Train tracks are ching-ching, bit of cash, know what I mean?"

    I don't give a shit. And I mean that in the most literal, non-idiomatic way. If I had a pile of turds in my back garden, and you were to walk up to me and say, "Excuse me, sir, if you would let me relieve you of one of these useless pieces of feces I could guarantee a resolution to the Bank of Ireland no-Irish-quotes-on-the-calendar issue," I would simply respond, "I'm sorry, but those are my shits, and I'm not giving one.

    Well if you remove it from your thread title you could make it Bank of My Left Testicle. Has a certain ring to it... :D

    So this isn't a thread about how a major international banking company brutally mutilated you and kept said part of your genitalia as some sort of debt recovery tactic?
    Talk about misleading thread titles! :mad:

    Rings printer...:D

    If you can't rant about the ridiculous thing in life in AH where can you do it?

    I suppose it was rash of me to aspire to the giddy heights attained by the many threads on toilet etiquette. :D
