The Irish at the time were too stupid to know how to grow other crops.

BTW they were hod dog flavor

10p crisps coming in 20g packs.
They reduced the size to 16g and charged 20c for them.

Being able to buy Rice Crispie buns and their Cornflake equivalent in supermarkets. Honestly, anyone who can't make or be bothered making Rice Crispie buns in their own kitchen deserves to be ripped off.

That's what I get for posting with the guts of 2 bottles of wine on board.

I'll just go and get an egg from the kitchen to wipe all over my face

Hope it's not red wine. It'll ruin your pearly whites. If Pighead had two bottles of wine he'd be on a boards rampage at this stage. Calling people ninnys, telling 6th he's not magic, getting banned from forums, left, right and centre.
Thats why Pighead never posts whilst drunk.

I am so shocked that bull fighing is still around, for some ridiculus reason the first time i went to spain (Was about 15) i though that it was a thing from the roman days or something.

That until 1993 homosexuality was illegal here, and also until some time in the 70's if you were found with contraception you could be arrested as they were illegal too

Matter of fact we have a woman with the surname of McGEE to thank for contraception ban to be repealed

my mother fed all of us kids with full fat cows milk from birth, never gave us formula milk. it didnt do us any harm- the 8 of us are healthy, none of us had any allergies, eczema etc.
if a mother did that nowadays she'd probably be reported to social services
