Can't wait until smoking is banned outright, sick of having second hand smoke forced upon me in public by people who chose to fuck over THEIR health. Only people who smoke anyway are people who started age 12 under peer pressure because they were knackers or socially awkward people who started like age 17 for a conversation starter in nightclubs - neither are people who deserve to have society bend over backwards from them

That doesn't sound right.

Not sure, but it would likely vary from state to state regardless.
Thomas Phillips
I don't mind the smell of smoke so long as they do it away from normal people, but I'm looking forward to when they ban it, both to see the pissed off addicts plea for their unhealthy habit, and to hurt big international trade in this vice.

Mixing guinness and smithwicks. Surprised how good it tastes.
Of course it's not pure from both sides, it's the west indies porter from Guinness and Smithwick's blonde ale (better than the original variants).

I don't know how accurate those stereotypes are for younger people, but I imagine they aren't quite as accurate for older generations as a much wider variety of people smoked back in the day.
Also not all smokers force second-hand smoke upon others.
>That doesn't sound right
I believe it was in response to some Brexiteer minister who said the Irish government were taking marching orders from SF or something similar. Went on to rant about how the individual in question was "far-right" and no friend of Ireland, something along those lines.
Only heard a clip though, so don't quote me.

Was it? What was so fun about it?
One of the memories I have of the punt is being dropped off at the local post office to buy some stamps and then going next door to the shop and getting a load of penny sweets (primarily pigs' heads).
Needless to say both are now closed down.
Hudson Lee
How are there Irish people on this fine evening?
>Also not all smokers force second-hand smoke upon others.
Unless they smoke in some hidden away bunker on their own,they do,smoking is very much a social activity for most
Gabriel Cruz
>How are there Irish people on this fine evening?
Drunk, somewhat tired and annoyed because I already got majorly drunk once this week (Sunday) and can't afford to today.
Maybe I should start going to the pub rather than binge drinking indoors.
Easton Brooks
>smoking is very much a social activity for most
That so? I often see people at work just out at corners of the building smoking by themselves.
What makes it social exactly? Is two people in a car and one of them smoking considered social?
Owen Martin
1 time out twenty there's someone else there indulging their addiction and that means it's a "social" activity.
Samuel Cruz
Right, well that's my supply gone.
Michael Carter
>Was it? What was so fun about it?
It was a bit of excitement for a currency that had been a mainstay of your life so far to be suddenly "worthless" (in my eyes at the time), and for it then to be replaced with a brand new set of coins and notes. It was hyped up a lot in school and on the TV too.
>Unless they smoke in some hidden away bunker on their own
That's a good idea. I'll government buildings now and get them to include that requirement in the bill.
Thomas Allen

Brayden Cooper
People smoke when they are sad,upset,happy or nervous,it's one of those things that's associated with every mood,I used to know a fair amount of people who would exclusively smoke on night's out with others,so I'd say that that's the case

On your own?
Jeremiah Cook

That's common in Ireland too.
Daniel Martinez
Sorry if it wasn't clear, I meant I couldn't afford to get any more drunk than I am now (four on board).
Though if I was on a wage rather than mummy and daddy I probably couldn't, let alone go to the pubs, which are about three times as expensive as Galahad.

"English", but use your "Irishness" within England to further the end of Ireland.
Really it depends on your surname. If it's an Irish surname, and your grandchildren will remember their loyalty to us, then yeah fine, serve our interests. Otherwise, sorry, you have incurable cancer.
Jose Moore
Hmm, is it so simple and I'm just overthinking it?
Ain't nuffin wrong with anime posting.
I don't want to appropriate the Irish culture, I just want a straight answer on where I'm supposed to belong. ;-; But yeah, my surname is Walsh, and I've heard that's a common Irish surname. Though sadly, I won't be having grandchildren.
Ayden Sullivan
>Walsh
Norman, but you may be thought of as "Irish" until your kind are the last wh*toids left in bongistan.
So serve us, have no interest in preserving "Britain", or "England", and we may spare your descendants when we conquer England.

Might want to stay away from that if I were you

Thanks.
Adam Gomez
>But to each his own my Irish friend,did you have port before?
Yeah, I had Sandeman (?) and it was quite nice, very sweet, very rich. Normally red wine is horribly sour and I'd rather drink beer or spirits than white wine most of the time.
Port seems to occupy a niche in my view between the heaviness of beer and the undrinkability of spirits, but I'm wondering if I went down several grades to own-brand stuff, it would still have that good taste.
>Rude.
It's the truth.

Gavin Taylor

You really think someone would do that? Dilute their alcohol with ingredients added after the process is complete?
Ach, might stick to buckfast then, it's good.
Blake Brooks
It's Welsh not Norman. Many Welsh families assisted the Normans and arrived with them however. The name Walsh is itself derived from the word Welsh.
Kayden Lewis
Yeah but typically someone only gets named for their national group when it's not their national group, or they don't have a native surname, meaning they're not of that ethnic group or not someone the ethnic group respected.
So Norman or Norman-lackey.
Jeremiah Ward
>or they don't have a native surname
That was the case for most of the Welsh that came, hence why Walsh and Welsh are so common. I like the fact that in Irish Welsh/Walsh translates to Breathnach meaning Briton as opposed to just a Gaelicisation.
Dominic Price

Non-smoking nerds can fuck off, if they don't want to be cool and smoke they should fuck off indoors, they already forced us outside. Fuck sake it's not like a bit of second hand smoke will even kill you anyway.
William Carter
>as opposed to just a Gaelicisation.
Unless there's evidence to show that that's what the native Gaels in medieval times called them, then it is just a crude Gaelicisation, based on directly translating the term, something which would not always have been the go-to method for people speaking Irish vernacularly.

My Dad drinks a lot of Port and he reckons the Tesco one is the best for the value. Apparently it's sold at below cost selling.
He say's the Aldi ones have a taste and smell of methylated spirits.
Wyatt Edwards
>I have severe medical issues that keep me from having kids.
What's wrong with you? Do you not have a willy?
Carson Bailey
>Apparently it's sold at below cost selling.
Interesting. I suspected this when I got their whiskey in the past, but for that it definitely did not deserve a high price.
Maybe their port will be good, maybe not.
>He say's the Aldi ones have a taste and smell of methylated spirits.
Yoikes. Thought this was true of their red wine and brandy too desu.

Sebastian Sanders
At that point where I know I will only be able to enjoy things once I have slept, but not tired enough to sleep.
Andrew Martin
>then it is just a crude Gaelicisation
No it's a translation of the etymology of the name. A Gaelicisation would be Bhálteach or something.
>>"Wow there's an Irish word describing how foreign my ancestors are! I must be Irish!"
I think you're arguing against something that isn't there.
Jose Cooper
>tfw no American-style pizza
Daniel Gutierrez
Can't be as barebones as St Bernard labels used to be.
>No it's a translation of the etymology of the name.
That's the sense I used "Gaelicisation" in. To take the English meaning of the loosely applied demonym-surname, and just translate it, rather than having any record for any particular meaning the Gaels gave them. New wine in old wineskins.
Christian Hill
>Can't be as barebones as St Bernard labels used to be.
Leo Reyes
user...come back to me when you think about it some more.
Chase Kelly
>any record for any particular meaning the Gaels gave them
But the whole reason they got the name was because Irish society at the time was big on surnames. Just because there's no excerpt from an annal saying "A tribe of foreigners arrived, we have called them the Welsh as that is the country they hail from" doesn't mean it was a recent translation. Most names translated to Irish are basically the same but with some letters swapped out and an O' added at the front, if the Welsh and Walsh had lived in Ireland for centuries separated from the natives like the Normans were before going native then that's the sort of name they'd get since I doubt many of them associated themselves with Wales by that point.
>the English meaning of the loosely applied demonym-surname
Why would it be English first when the English wouldn't have cared about such things? It was the Irish who had surnames as such a big part of our culture.
Angel Myers
Italian style pizza is way better anyway, start making your own
Connor Mitchell
>Just because there's no excerpt from an annal saying "A tribe of foreigners arrived, we have called them the Welsh as that is the country they hail from" doesn't mean it was a recent translation.
No, it literally does. The "Walsh" came here speaking English, and barring exceptions with neologistic appendages, that's what they still represent here.
>Why would it be English first when the English wouldn't have cared about such things?
No idea what you're trying to say. The English had surnames back then, they just didn't bother calling low-class randos "de" or "of", giving them occupational surnames, or when they were dragged along to Ireland, ethnonyms.
>It was the Irish who had surnames as such a big part of our culture.

You mean "their", Welsh.
