Happy St. Patrick's Day, Bitches!

A Briton Walks Into a Pub

How do you tell an Englishman from a Scotsman from a Welshman from an Irishman?

No, this isn't a joke.



Who's who?



In yet another attempt to enlighten this ignorant Canuck, I'm asking you citizens of the British Isles (and Kav) if you can tell who's who just by looking at each other. How do you tell each other apart? Can you look at a Scot and know he’s/she’s a Scot on sight? Or English? Or Welsh? Or Irish?

Your nationalities are obvious when you open your big gobs to speak but what about physical appearance? Facial features? Mannerisms? Style of dress?

As for the Canucks and Americans, can WE tell each other apart by appearance?




All Canadians look like this. Wearing “toques” (knitted winter hats) on our heads and equipped with a case of “two-four.” A “two-four” is a box of 24 beer bottles, dontcha know.



And what about regional differences?



Typical Yorkshireman?



Does a Yorkshireman look different than someone from Dorset, for example?




Dorset Mong. Don’t let the cap tell you otherwise.



Over to you, bitches.

Irish Strip Poker Battle in the Buff

Ireland may play host to the world's biggest strip poker tournament.

If Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has its way, the contest will take place at a secret venue in Dublin this summer as they try to earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

A survey uncovered that more than 50 per cent of online poker players enjoy playing in the nude. So Paddy Power decided it was the perfect way to take Ireland’s mind off not being at the 2006 World Cup.

A spokesman said, “We’re going to bring this record home to where it belongs, Ireland. We may have missed out on the World Cup finals this year but we’re going to go down in history this summer as the finest naked poker players on the planet!”
