    Do American ministers travel all over the world today, like our lot do on St Patrick's Day ?

    If so, which one came to Ireland ?

    Hopefully not their minister for the Gaelteacht - Nobody here would have a clue what he was saying ?

    Can't believe it is 206 years since the ship The Irish Rover set sail from Cork. What a sad fate that endured*

    If the Americans used their stupid way of using dates (month/day/year), it should really be happy July the 4th.
    Same goes for the movie, Born on July the 4th.

    Are we sure the ship struck the rock on the same day it set sail? That might have happened on the 5th or 6th

    Didn't it set sail in 1806, sail for 7 years and then sink.... so 199 years ago?

    As we all seem to be going off fading memories, I think someone's going to have to rustle up the full lyrics to the Irish Rover

    Thanks to all the yanks for this day because without it we wouldn't have this epic movie, enjoy your day and watch it:

    Lads, have a bit of respect. It's July 4th, Independence Day! On this day, let's all take a moment to recognize the sacrifice of the men who died helping Bill Pullman fight those aliens.

    i decided to listen to an american talk radio station this morning for the day thats in it.it was am870 and the guys name was dennis prager.for those of you that dont know
    "Dennis Prager (born August 2, 1948) is an American syndicated radio talk show host, syndicated columnist, author, and public speaker. He is noted for his conservative political and social views emanating from conservative Judeo-Christian values. He holds that there is an "American Trinity" of essential principles, which he lists as E Pluribus Unum, In God We Trust, and Liberty"

    i like america and americans dont faze me ive been there many times etc.but jesus h christ ive never heard so much blowing of trumpets as i did on that show this morning.things like home of the brave land of the free" said about 8 times,the best country in the history of the world about 5 times.our country is the best our marines are fantastic we gave the world its freedom.america america america.
    all within the space of a half hour.then i had to switch off,i was feeling sick.

    no wonder americans are hated in some parts if thats anything to go by.

    happy 4th of july everyone.

    I'm sure this is a joke, but in actuality, we prefer being called by our tribal nation.
