I've mentioned it before in here, but if you all want to try a seriously lethal drink, go for a Belfast Carbomb... Ask for: A half pint of Guinness in a pint glass A shot of Jameson whiskey and a a shot of Bailey's together in another separate glass Bring your glasses to the table, pour the whiskey/Bailey's into the Guinness and neck the entire thing as fast as you can. Tastes like a Guinness chocolate milkshake and will blow the features off your face. If you leave it too long to drink it, the cream curdles with the Guinness and you're left with what looks like manjuice in a pint of Guinness. Nobody wants to drink that, so drink it all while it's lovely and smooth. Don't do more than two of these badboys, I've seen people be dangerously pissed on them and I'm sure some of you would care to see the YouTube video of me and a few friends doing them one night. I only did one because I had my sensible head on that night lol Óran is by far and wide the winner with five hahaha! Nobody can top him so far. After three, you feel like you've died, seriously. Enjoy! CLICK ME - Belfast Carbombs Tournament

People tell you that the best Guinness is in Dublin...yes it's lovely and creamy and doesn't have to travel far from the brewery in Dublin, but it's brewed in Belfast in exactly the same way so I have to say, living in Belfast you'll get a cracking Guinness here too, on a par with Dublin Guinness in my opinion. Up north it's called Magners...thank that little invisible border that attaches us by law to the UK lol I don't like cider personally but when we head down south the cider drinkers in our company usually say Bulmers is nicer. Same company, same cider surely??

Good man yourself, make mine a Guinness, Extra Cold if possible. But do your country a favour and pull it properly, the last pint of Guinness I had in England was horrendous lol I'll get the next round in.

Plus, there's a part that says "game cube" -- Nintendo are the very last people who would call their GameCube a game cube, or even Gamecube without the capital C. I've noticed Nintendo very very rarely make spelling or grammar mistakes in most things they release, including games.

Heh it would be funny if his opening words on that day were "I'm really honored to be here this morning as the new president..."

Urinal cake...what about pish guards instead lol

Oops sorry lol

Anyone else noticed that on the homepage? I think the staff know something that we don't hope it's as big as it's being made out to be!

Yeah r is like a mix between l and r isn't it? Zeruda and Rinku!

Heh, let's not get political but I was born and live in Belfast - but I'm still Irish and consider Irish my native language and Ireland to be my home country. To me the Irish language is open for claiming by anyone from anywhere on the island, regardless of what side of the border they come from, not just folks from the Republic. In fact, I read recently that Belfast is becoming one of the fastest growing Irish speaking areas in all of Ireland. The north is a strange little place with people from all walks of life. I respect anyone's choice of nationality, be it Irish or British or the more neutral Northern Irish, but I hold my own view that Ireland is an island to be shared by all of us. Mcj Metroid also appears to be Irish (or living in Ireland at least) but he's entitled to think little of the language, just as I think little of Ulster Scots - I only wanted to point out that the Irish language is all one thing with different dialects, not different versions.

It's that attitude that will kill a language. Maybe you're not a fan of the language of the country but most Irish speakers hold proud to it, it's the oldest recorded language in Europe and has survived some serious hardships over the years from oppressors. Munster and Ulster are just different dialects, it's like a Belfast dialect to a Glasgow dialect of English; I don't think they could be classified as different versions of English, just variations, as both parties can understand each other and recognise it as English - just as Munster and Ulster speakers of Irish can.

On top of that, do you know that when they were conducting the NI census (it may have been another survey, can't remember though...I'm nearly sure it was the NI census) and people were asked about languages spoken, they couldn't find one single native Ulster Scots speaker . Not surprised! Spoken Japanese will be much easier than spoken Irish I think - takes a while for people to get used to the pronunciation of Irish words. Japanese will be easier because it's basically written out in phonetics in romanji I think But when the writing and reading comes in...good luck with kanji!!

From September I'll be studying Irish and French as a joint degree in Queen's University - languages are most definitely my strong point. I also wanted to do separate classes in Japanese but I'll see how that goes - two languages at degree level might be enough! Like Conzer, I speak Irish and some people don't seem to realise it's a real language (quite a difficult one for some people) in it's own right - not just a dialectic bastardisation of English. However, there is of course Ulster Scots. I doubt many of you will not be able to read this, it's like drunken English in an Irish twang. "Tha Boord wull hae its heich offis in Bilfawst, an an unnèr-offis in Dunnygal." "The Board will have its head office in Belfast, and another office in Donegal." What the fuck. And followers of this ridiculous Ulster Scots phenomenon (sorry if I offend anyone, but really, can't you see it's a joke of a language??) in this country actually pass it off as a real language... I despair for the north of Ireland.

Gentleman! Thanks very much!

Fantastic work, can't wait to use this! Always wanted to move away from Windows XP Classic style...boke.

Excellent work, I love working on Photoshop but having been selftaught there's a lot to the program I don't know how to even go about setting up never mind putting to good use. I have a request, the Australian flag on the rockface is especially good, I love the way the flag was seamlessly blended into the texture of the surface - if you get the time could you try it with an Irish flag? I think it would make a great wallpaper! Thanks

Silly Irish shite ye lol oh the irony.

Next Thursday will be the bain of my life, I'm so worried about the whole thing. I've applied to study Irish and French at Queen's in Belfast and I need BBB or the equivalent, but I'm still confused as to how UCAS Clearing works exactly - can I still look for places in QUB to do Irish/French or do I have to opt for a different course? I don't really want to do anything else to be honest. How is everyone else waiting on results feeling?

I really hope this is proved fake, because I don't like the sound of an analogue multi-out; how are we supposed to utilise the progressive scan mode without a digital out? I smell a rat.

Somehow I doubt they'll include a component cable, like the bastards that they are. We'll be stuck with RGB cables and composite cables and have to fork out more money to get component. Thank god I bought one for GameCube ages ago

Superb *claps*

Maybe that video cable will have the surround sound cabling all in the one unit? I really hope they include DD 5.1 at the least, it would be a shame to sacrifice it for DPLII, again.

It seems that if Ian Paisley doesn't strike a deal and sit down with Sinn Féin in a NI government, come this November we'll be ruled directly by Dublin and London jointly. Personally I hope Paisley doesn't make a deal, because he's well and truly snookered if Dublin and London get involved. Dublin will do more for the Irish people and surprisingly, London will do too. A NI government may work short term but let's face it, the DUP will never ("NEVVVAAAARRRR!!") accept Sinn Féin in government, so I think joint rule is the way to go. The UK don't even want NI anymore, we drain their resources and have been the thorn in Lizzy's side for decades. Any excuse to give us back is more than welcome I'm sure!

Ugh, don't get me started on dialectic differences! I prefer the Ulster pronunciation of -adh words, I have to say. But the best is how we pronounce roghnaigh and todhchaí - yes technically it should be something like "raownee(g)" and "taowkee" but we say "rain-yee" and "taya-hee". Lol gotta love it. Donegal speakers are the best for it, I don't think Munster or Connacht speakers would have a clue if they tried staying in the Donegal Gaeltacht!

It's quite a unique formula, it's all based on pure luck, nothing more, but it works so well! I love it, it's the only thing I really watch on TV these days. TV pishes me off, there is a constant flow of tripe shown from morning to night. Ugh, and reality TV is just a sin.
