Happy Birthday Raven. Hope it was so good you don't remember it at all, and took off a few months of your life

Heh, reminds me of a trip once to Dublin. We used to go a lot because we lived on Anglesey (island normally ignored on maps) and you could carry on drinking on a ferry after 11pm (once into international waters - 11pm being closing time to non-UKers). Good laugh when you were 16
Anyhows, one time we got really really trollied. I mean walking into dodgy gay bars (with higher legal ages for alcohol than the USA!) by mistake kind of drunk (we were tricked though). We managed to make it back to near the port when we noticed a load of irish boyos. On the other side of the road were a load of army blokes with big guns, and a big riot landrover effort. They were also practising aiming at our heads. Nice.
Thanks to being a little worse for wear, we decided things might be a little bit dodgy to start talking in our english accents. Also our back teeth were floating quite a bit, and therefore needed to get to the haven of the toilets at the port on the other side of this mini-croud. Normally being quiet would be the best ploy. Instead we walked straight through exclaiming such lines as "So Paddy, how is life in Cork?", "To be sure, to be sure", and "Tirty tree and a turd, so it is Shamus" in (we thought) broad Irish accents. Amazing nobody kicked off at that one....
Oh, and I was in Ireland when they lost a world cup football game, and it was decided by all that I was half a ****, when a fully welsh friend of a friend brought up the fact that I was half english to most of the pub. They then got into a load of drinking games with me while picking on the other guy for being a cheap **** grass. Hehehe... Good chaps.
Cheers
I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
