What a stupid site!

bobblepuzzle

So put 'Irish Bank Holidays 2010' into Google and the first site that comes up is this one:

http://www.bankholidaydates.co.uk/HolidayDates/year/Ireland/2010.aspx

So I visited, and have never been so disgusted in my life with the sheer ignorance if it!

Since when do we celebrate Queen Elizabeths Birthday or St Georges Day... amongst others!

MUPPETS!!!

He's Scotland's national poet. It's a night to celebrate scottish culture (and can be a great night).

As Robert himself would probably say...
'Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion.'

AND they called it Boxing Day.:(

'Gars auld claes look amaist as weel's the new'...and all that.

People from Scotland or who have scottish roots generally eat haggis, bashed tatties and neeps(turnips), drink scotch and quote Robert burns.

When chapman billies leave the street,
And drouthy neibors, neibors, meet;
As market days are wearing late,
And folk begin to tak the gate,
While we sit boozing at the nappy,
An' getting fou and unco happy,
We think nae on the lang Scots miles,
The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles,
That lie between us and our hame,
Where sits our sulky, sullen dame,
Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.

^^ I typed that!

Those evil Brits don't get those days as holidays either though so don't worry about it, most wouldn't know when they are either.

My Dad is from Scotland and has never eaten haggis.
He does have Dundee Cake on Burns Supper night.. it is always celebrated in our house.

You realize by linking to tha site on boards.ie of all places, which is getting to be one of the biggest independent sites in the web - in her most popular forum - on a wednesday morning - that you've probably just ensured that google will regard that muppet website as the rank 1 search result for irish bank holidays for a long time to come?

Only the dates in bold are meant to be Irish Bank Holidays. Anyway, if you don't like the site, don't use it. There's freedom of dissassociation on the internet.

On an aside, don't you think the more worrying thing is that Christmas is on the 28th of December this year?

He shoulda waited till Thursday.
Now there'll be a 'Who the feck is Robert Burns?' thread in AH every 25th of January.

I just can't believe that an internet website, of all things, might contain inaccurate information.

topper75

Couldn't give a toss for inaccurate sites, but I love me that Burns stuff. Aye, gannae google mare noo. I love those scottisms. Standard International English should start using them instead.

Thread fail.......

your thread is making this site look stupid, if you had half a brain you would realise that the bank holidays are in bold and have "bank holiday" wrote after them the other ones are notable date and have "notable dates" wrote after them!!!! You googled to find out bank holidays and that site told you exactly what you wanted to know, why your feel aggreived baffles me??????

There should be a hell of a lot more bank holidays, because it will reduce the time that the bankers have to fuck the country up even more than they have done already.

I presume you wanted to know what dates are going to be Bank Holidays this year, and now you do. Everyone wins.

Ah now dont be silly in your OP you said the above, first line, you were looking for irish bank holidays, the site told you that and very clearly too, it also told you some other as they called them notable dates , so they went over and beyond the irish bank holiday dates that you were looking for and you still found means to complain, some people are just never happy!!!!!
