They still have those where I live I think. Chocolate shavings on top?

Highly recommend this. Absolutely fascinating stuff and I’m not into surfing.
Fear not…Brown soda bread is big here. Definitely my most consumed bread.
I believe Americans serve it on Paddy’s day and / or is seen as a stereotypically Irish meal over there. I do recall being asked over there if I ate it regularly.
As I said in another comment there my oul boy did actually really like it as a meal but I think it’s more a misunderstanding though it does have some weird historical roots.
Others have given you solid answers on why the chicken and watermelon thing was really stupid so I’ll try to answer from the Irish perspective on the second part of your question:
You can serve me corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s day as long as you’re not being a dick about it. I’d probably consider it a nice effort actually if I happened to be abroad on the day.
My dad used to love corned beef, cabbage and potatoes with parsley sauce. It’s a grand meal but not my thing.
If you were a unionist who served it to me in a leprechaun outfit I’d be inclined to tell you where to go though.
Edit: I hope this answers your question. It’s a good question and the answer is nuanced so if I can offer you more perspective let me know, I’d be happy to help.

I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.
The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.
It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.
At 7 years of age I was collecting the grass coming out of my neighbours lawnmower. I was tossing it in the air at my dog who was having great fun jumping into the air catching it.
Cue my neighbour running over my foot with his lawnmower. I didn’t feel much pain as it shredded straight through my runner and skin.
I was rushed to hospital and somehow they saved my toe. It took about five years for me to regain feeling in it.
Edit: oh I missed the word “work”.
You may bet your bollix on (“rest assured” in non-Dublin English) them having torrents blocked on their free WiFi.
If I download music in a Starbucks, can they fine the Starbucks CEO then?
This sounds like the kind of grassroots activity I might be interested in.
Fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.
TL;DR I think most people are full of goodness.
In this instance that’s definitely the case that it’s shitty behaviour IMO but in general I still hold dear to my view that most people are good and it’s my default position on new people I meet, with some bad vibe exceptions, until proven otherwise.
It’s like the old Mr Rogers quote about looking for the helpers. I see (and try my best to also do and am so lucky to be married to someone the same) so much good in this world.
Dearest American friends,
I’m happy for you. Given your tax system this seems like a really positive step forward.
I hope it makes your lives better.
Dubya was definitely way smarter than the media portrayed him at the time. He did very well in the debate against Gore.
I read that the whole “fool me once” gaffe was down to him not wanting to be have a sound bite of him saying “shame on me”, copped it mid sentence then tried to cobble his way out of it. Not sure how true or accurate that is but it is at least plausible.
Perfect. Thank you.
Can you tell me a little more about this please?
I haven’t come across a smart switch before as I generally try to minimise the number of smart devices in my home. I presume you have to pair your phone with something. It sounds quite intriguing.
I fully agree. Like even 90% would reduce the amount of waste significantly without really impacting usability.
I got a reasonably high end phone for my last one (about €500 at the time) and it survived so so well and I only learned about the 80% thing about 2 years into it and still was charging it to full occasionally.
This automatic 80% thing that just came in is great.
Well that’s a new one. Looks delicious. I’m a big Cadbury fan.
