If the kids that were in it were paid royalties every time that was shown, they'd be rich enough by now.

It's very odd, I can't seem to find information anywhere about this.

One of them is Irish-it was once owned by a man in Loughlynn co Roscommon. Dont think the breed is an Irish one though.

No, they're Clydesdales, which originate from Scotland.

And in case there was any doubt left about what the true meaning and spirit of Christmas is, this thread proves conclusively that it is in fact consumerism.

Where are their irresponsible parents?

Seriously allowing their kids to sleep on the floor with that winter draft creeping around. For Shame! :mad:

Unorthodox indeed. I want to smack the glasses right off her manky head.

You really shouldnt let Santa fly drunk. He needs milk for his cookies. nonfat milk - he has to look after his weight. and reindeer need spinach for the strength to pull that fat ass around.

The guy in the red suit is really their drunk uncle Bob, he just forgot to announce himself. Indeed, the kids are thicks, nothing new there.
