God HIMSELF knows how we like to yammer on without even having a point to talk about in the first place....
Yeah, I know what you're talking about -- my mother is Irish and Scottish. I'm referring more to writing style than fatness of mouth, though. It's difficult for some people, including myself, to restrain their mouths. However, when people are writing, especially at a supposedly "professional" level, they should be more efficient. Unless, of course, their job is to obfuscate nonsense, and it looks like that's exactly what they do at the Guardian.

Now, now, now... You KNOW she is just "keeping up appearances," right? BTW, that show is funny! Yes if I revealed what a warm, wonderful kind woman she is as well as sassy, she'd kill me for having ruined her reputation.
Celtic gleam of murder, you know. ;)

But there have been occasions (ie..St. Patrick's Day) when I've talked myself into and out of an argument with myself.Heck, why talk yourself out of an argument? That's what God made Band-Aids for :-)

"The chattering classes" -- like a bunch of barnyard chickens. I like that a lot.

Well, I am so glad that we are entertaining (as opposed to nauseating! *S*)...and while we all get caught up in political banter most of the time, ain't it nice of a Saturday night to kick back and have some fun? And LBGA...you SHOULD be on FR more often. :-) I lurk a lot, but just don't post much. What is entertaining is the genuine love and teasing that is going on. FR has introduced a lot of couples, and it is fun to see another.

Painted as a saint as opposed to a walking bitch! *LOL* Ah, but try as you might, and you put up a good front, people are now going to ask questions, "Hmm, what hooked Ivan?" and while the challenge of Irish sass and verve is indeed part of it, it would be for nothing if you were not a gentle, sweet soul underneath it all darling.
And now, I'm dead. ;)
Love, Ivan

Perhaps Rome instead. ;)

I should point out also that the fact that France moves you to be, erm, unwell, makes you a woman after my own heart. ;)

Going to Paris could require a 'HOLD MY SICK BAG' alert alright.
Yup, Italy would do it for me. But not Rome. Florence maybe? Assissi? Definitely *S*
