    Had corned beef and cabbage, w/ a side of horseradish for dinner here (I'm a mongrel - but family lineage does trace back to a boat from Scotland fleeing the potato famine)... also Guiness Stout as libation...my 17 y.o. enjoyed the G.S. (yeah, it is one of my favorite beers, LW!)! He's going to Germany in July for a month or so - figured I'd better start introducing him to the idea of drinking responsibly....

    Hey, whatever you say about LW, I can personally testify that he ain't cheap. He bought me coffee when he shuttled me 2 years ago and I was paying MRO for the shuttle, not LW.

    Happy St. Pats day all from a hybrid 3/8ths Celtic.

    Everyone is Irish on St. Patricks Day.

    Why aren't they-
    Italian on Columbus Day?
    French on Bastile Day?
    Black on Martin Luther King day?
    Puritans on Thanksgiving?

    Must have something to do with drinking and fun:

    Is "pocheen" the Billville spelling of Poteen ?
    You are correct. The actual spelling is "poteen," but because gaelic is a silly language where the pronunciation is unrelated to the letters used, the way one says it is "pocheen" or "potcheen."

    Billvillains, of course, do not endorse the manufacture, transportation, or selling of illegally made spirits.

    Something has to be done to get rid of them, though, and Billville are the guys to handle the problem...so drinking them is endorsed.

    Well, we don't want anything dangerous lying around where children could accidentally get a hold of them. It's all about the kids, really.

    Beside's, the REALLY important mid-March ethnic day is tomorrow (March 19th) . [1]

    (OK..not really. I'd rather drink a beer. But damn it, I miss zeppoli! )

    [1] My brother, Joseph (Joey) was born on St. Joseph's day, in St. Joseph's Hospital and is named after our maternal grandfather. Joey drinks beer (and smokes Marlboros) on his birthday...no word of any zeppoli.

    WOW! My brother Rory Joseph FitzPatrick (too many joes in the family to make it his first name...) was born on the 19th in Dublin Ireland.

    West or east Scotland? The Irish, Scotti, descendants are predominant in the W.

    This may upset you (or not).

    Funny, but I thought the Welsh (origin of my surname) would be the least Celtic of the non-Anglo-Saxon areas of GB.
