    The Canadian wanker banker C*unt?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Long-term forecast not possible. I'd imagine much of the certainty came about due to the last two years. Although there's still December/January...

    But remember the scorchio predictions for last summer... :pac:

    Yeah, Canadian dude?

    Since summer is a week in Ireland, 1 hour heat wave! (after which Ireland starts running out of water, even though it rains 90% of the time...:confused:)

    That man who slipped on the ice, they had that clip on a Charlie Brooker programme on the BBC ;)

    I checked the isotopes earlier against the long range variables.

    I came to the scientific conclusion that it'll be grand, though there's a possibility of it being a bit chilly for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    This time last year there was snow.....hopefully it might not turn up till next year!:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,357 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    Theres rain forecast tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭Wetai


    I checked the isotopes earlier against the long range variables.
    Damn Caesium-137, Iodine-131 and Strontium-90...

    I'm pretty sure MT Cranium is not Canadian.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Canada is in North America, no?

    Canada is North of North America but Canada is not in North America as Canada is a country in itself! But Alaska is further North and is part of North America!

    Depends which North you are talking about there is north of america and then there is north america as a whole including Alaska. Then again there are variations that include Mexico and Canada as well as Alaska and the USA as part of North America. Canada is part of North America but not in North America!?

    And no Kansas is not part of south america unless you are talking about the border of the south of the USA yes but if you are talking about south america as a country no Kansas is not in it but is in south america border of USA!

    If that's the case, then where do all the Mexikansans come from? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Mexico and Kansas is part of North America but is in South America of the USA! :p

    They come from South America of the USA as part of North America end of!

    Wexford of course.

    I must say, I really enjoyed watching that guy falling video again. It's just the sheer speed he's moving at with his Dunnes bag. And then - BAM!

    I'm embarrassed for you man. Canada is in North America. North America is a continent.

    Yes I do know that North America is a Continent and that South America is one too but South America is also a country no? USA is a country, Canada is a country and Alaska is a state as part of the USA country.

    But then the the USA is divided into the North and South border. So in fact there is north and south of the USA/America.

    Examine a map...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Back on topic guys....impending doom which might be snow!?:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭HazDanz


    Videos like this I want to hear about if the snow hits again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    The only thing causing confusion about Canada being in North America is people incorrectly referring to the United States as 'America'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Johro


    Wexford of course.
    Si. We don't need no steenking badges.

    Lol...examine a map and tell me what the capital city of South America is. And a few more details about the USA North South border would be interesting too. Has visa control tightened along the Mason-Dixon line?
    A few shandies had perhaps? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Jesus Christ, lots of F's in Pass level Geography here...

    North America is a geographical entity, NOT a political one. It does not comprise just one country. The country of North America does not exist. The North American continent comprises the countries of the United States of America, Canada, Mexico and a couple of other small ones in the central American isthmus that is the dividing line between the continent of North American and the continent of South America. South America is also not a single country. It is comprised of a variety of different countries. Kinda like the way...brace yourselves...Asia and Europe are. Lord !

    The United States has never been split into Northern and Southern entities. It may have been culturally & economically, but never in reality. A 4 year war was fought (Gone With The Wind DVD anyone? ) & the countries greatest ever president gave his life to keep it that way.
