Which episode is that? I've only heard the ones about pain, oppression, massacre, famine, bloodshed and how the English are bastards.
― Maximo Park Ji-Sung (Matt DC), Thursday, 12 February 2009 12:05 (sixteen years ago)
The Scottish one is even shorter, they dispense with the pain, the oppression, the massacre, the famine, the bloodshed, and concentrate on how English are bastards
― Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Thursday, 12 February 2009 12:07 (sixteen years ago)
The English one goes on for 2000 episodes and just repeats how grateful the skiving socialist Scots should be that the English saved them from speaking Norwegian or summat

A Short History of Ireland - 17. Feudal Ireland/A Great Affliction Befell the Country
just to clear that up, it quite clearly covers most of what matt suspects.

"A Great Affliction Befell The Country"? It's a bit early in the series for them to be doing Westlife.

The Scots invade in the next episode! WTF?!??!?!

come for the conquest, stay for the craic
― Redknapp out (darraghmac), Thursday, 12 February 2009 12:25 (sixteen years ago)
Ah, I see, Scots only invaded so they could fight the English in Ireland, as well as Scotland and anywhere else they could find them
― Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Thursday, 12 February 2009 12:25 (sixteen years ago)
... it's the equivalent of a fight in a pub spilling over in to the pub car park
― Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Thursday, 12 February 2009 12:28 (sixteen years ago)
You'd think that a good place to fight the English would be in, er, England?

restaurants are shit

(xxpost) are you comparing Ireland to a featureless tarmac'ed area covered in broken glass, unidentified bits of kebab, blood, and vomit?
― snoball, Thursday, 12 February 2009 12:30 (sixteen years ago)

pubs have no atmosphere, either.
fight them in meath every time. the craic is 90 and the results never seem to matter.

(xposts re: restaurants) Sure fire way to repel invaders. That's how we kept the French and the Spanish out. Picture it, Elizabethan era French dude gets off his warship at Dover, goes into a fish'n'chip shop, takes one bite of soggy pomme frite, says some French epithet, then runs back to his boat and clears off back to Normandy...
