    Somebody has been watching the Ryder Cup huh? They feature thin clubheads and grooved faces. Accomplished players might choose a "muscleback" or "blade" style of iron, whereas beginners and most recreational players will want a "cavity back" style.

    Well seeing as we've heard from you a lot, read your offered advice, telling us what your doing and your possible routes of protest - we are going to take your words on-board much as an ashtray is useful on the back of a motorbike!

    Exactly, the people shouting "When are we going to do something" never seem to do much apart from ask that question.:D

    The fighting irish was a group of soldiers in WW2 that name isnt really pointed at all of us who always bend over.

    Irony is being run down by an ambulance or a fireman being on fire

    Isn't Irony just like Goldie and Bronzey only made from Iron?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 131 ✭✭BornToBe?


    I love AH, ye shall be my ministers!

    As for doing something about it?
    You'll know when it occurs,
    In the meen time, buy lots of beans and other tinned food.

    The Nazi Grammers,
    Ye shall be ministers of Education,

    In relation to your intelligent response:

    instead of:

    As I said my friend, you're doing a great job!
    and in the words of your girlfriend, "Keep it up!"

    Irony is like having 10,000 Alanis Morisette CDs when all you want is to listen to good music


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 142 ✭✭Epicness


    It would be ironic to, say, wear a jonas bro t-shirt, if you listened to real music. It would be post-ironic to not wear a t-shirt AT ALL.

    Don't define something by posting a wiki article when you don't understand irony yourself.

    Irony is an Irishman getting killed by a sign that says "Luck of the Irish".

    Irony is not people's unwillingness to protest and being known as the Fighting Irish because Notre Dame are the Fighting Irish, not every Irish person.
