I suspect somewhere in Ireland, somebody has tried to make Guinness flavoured chocolate. But yes, they would taste awful.
I was going to ask you to reiterate your point about anarchy, but I misread the word 'stick', so it's okay. Actually, that works too. Good point.
I think with the UK, we're stronger by ourselves. I think the general consensus is the EU clashes too much with what we want. Going in different directions, and all that.
Tell you something, the world is a complex place right now. There's a lot going on.
It's very true about America. It's frightening the amount of power they have and the control they have over us.
I did think Putin may win all the boxing matches, but I did wonder if America would try any dirty tactics. Eye gouge, crotch slam, drone strike...
Maybe the reason I was taught that contractions are considered poor grammar is because we're better educated than the Irish (he, he, he).
I think it has something to do with being more formal, from the days when children were taught proper speech and mannerisms.
Then again, my secondary school might have just been horribly out of date.

I suspect somewhere in Ireland, somebody has tried to make Guinness flavoured chocolate. But yes, they would taste awful. [/url] If you find them, tell me I'm curious to know what Guinness Flavoured chocolates taste like. I was going to ask you to reiterate your point about anarchy, but I misread the word 'stick', so it's okay. Actually, that works too. Good point. I was going to say also that it's the person with the biggest amount of resources who would also come out on top in anarchy, provided he has a stick big enough to defend his resource.  I think with the UK, we're stronger by ourselves. I think the general consensus is the EU clashes too much with what we want. Going in different directions, and all that. Tell you something, the world is a complex place right now. There's a lot going on. The EU's interest will always clash with individual nations interests however the extent to which it holds the nation back is important. It's very true about America. It's frightening the amount of power they have and the control they have over us. I did think Putin may win all the boxing matches, but I did wonder if America would try any dirty tactics. Eye gouge, crotch slam, drone strike... They have an insane amount of power through indirect and direct methods, however if it wasn't America being the dominant superpower it would be another country, who wouldn't be any better. Maybe the reason I was taught that contractions are considered poor grammar is because we're better educated than the Irish (he, he, he). I think it has something to do with being more formal, from the days when children were taught proper speech and mannerisms. Then again, my secondary school might have just been horribly out of date. The UK is well known for it's fantastic standard of English, innit m8? I've never heard the contraction thing before in my life, perhaps at one point some people considered it incorrect grammar but I've seen it enough in books with decent written English that I disagree with the point. |

I found some on Amazon. Truffles with a Guinness flavoured centre. Consider it a late birthday present. www.amazon.co.uk/Guinness-Luxury-Chocolate-Truffles-flavoured/dp/B008J10CPUAccording to the comments, they taste nice. Made it Ireland, too. To be honest, the resource you have to defend may need better protection than a stick, but yes, I get your point. Just find a castle with a moat. Oh, hang, we're back onto castles... I think in the world of superpowers, China is where it's going. And them having a terrifying amount of power scares me more than America having a terrifying amount of power, but America won't be on top forever. That fact does make me smile slightly as a resident of a nation that once claimed half the world. The UK does have a standard excellence of English, ever seen Downton? We all sound like that. Not a single one of us doesn't. Nope. Not at all. Not a bit of it. Well, somewhat. It's a diverse language, put it that way. But just because I once said, "I were in shower", does not make me grammatically poor. It just means I wasn't listening in school. I think contractions are just considered informal. I agree, it's stupid, but, maybe there was once a time when not using them was considered formal speech. (I would also like to point out that I don't watch Downton and can't stand it, I was just using it for reference; I would like all record of the image of me ever having seen that show expunged off the face of the Earth) |

I had a feeling they existed, well I guess they do, if it has the Guinness name on it, then it's most likely very expensive, believe me on this. To be honest, the resource you have to defend may need better protection than a stick, but yes, I get your point. Just find a castle with a moat. Oh, hang, we're back onto castles... Yeah this is a lot like another conversation we had about zombies which we don't want to re-visit. I think in the world of superpowers, China is where it's going. And them having a terrifying amount of power scares me more than America having a terrifying amount of power, but America won't be on top forever. That fact does make me smile slightly as a resident of a nation that once claimed half the world. China are very strong economically and if they decided to increase the cost of goods then we are all screwed. The UK does have a standard excellence of English, ever seen Downton? We all sound like that. Not a single one of us doesn't. Nope. Not at all. Not a bit of it. Well, somewhat. It's a diverse language, put it that way. But just because I once said, "I were in shower", does not make me grammatically poor. It just means I wasn't listening in school. I think contractions are just considered informal.

(I would also like to point out that I don't watch Downton and can't stand it, I was just using it for reference; I would like all record of the image of me ever having seen that show expunged off the face of the Earth) I saw clips of Downton Abbey, my mam watches it and that's about it. The thing about English as a language is that because it's borrowed so heavily from many different languages and because it's so old as a language and has changed so much that it almost seems that every word has it's own rule set. |

Only £6.50. Man, that's cheap for a Dublinite, surely.
£6.50 will buy you as much as a strand of hair...
Yes, if you don't want to revisit the zombie world, that's fine by me.
Just because you lost...
It is a good point about China, everything is apparently made there, although I suppose if costs rise they'll keep the jobs here instead of shipping them over there. Which will be good for our economy. Hmm, gets better the more you think about it.
ALL HAIL OUR NEW CHINESE OVERLORDS!
People do say the English language is far too complicated but it's because it's sourced from so many different areas and cultures, and I like that. It's layers of history upon layer's of history. Each county you go to, there's just a wonderful eclectic mix of dialects and accents, each is like their own country, along with their own customs and mannerisms. It is very diverse, more than I've seen in any other country.

I'd rather buy chocolates I might enjoy, the taste of Guinness does not seem like it would go well with Chocolates. How do you know about hair prices? Yes, if you don't want to revisit the zombie world, that's fine by me. Just because you lost... Yeah sure, go on and teach the kids self-defence while I bask in my paradise of female hippies. He who controls the spice, controls the universe. It is a good point about China, everything is apparently made there, although I suppose if costs rise they'll keep the jobs here instead of shipping them over there. Which will be good for our economy. Hmm, gets better the more you think about it. ALL HAIL OUR NEW CHINESE OVERLORDS! Although if the costs of production rise in China, then we'll just import to the next cheapest place to import from, unless that is still China, which it probably is... I think a lot of goods to a lot of nations are built on cheap chinese goods and that to pay home workers in either Ireland or England for example would massively increase the prices and would just result in most retailers purchasing from the place with the best value, aka China. I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords. People do say the English language is far too complicated but it's because it's sourced from so many different areas and cultures, and I like that. It's layers of history upon layer's of history. Each county you go to, there's just a wonderful eclectic mix of dialects and accents, each is like their own country, along with their own customs and mannerisms. It is very diverse, more than I've seen in any other country. I heard a weird statistic somewhere that linguists have studied middle English and looked at where Middle English has been the most highly conserved and changed the least, apparently in Ohio in America is where Middle English is the most conserved. |

How do I know about hair prices?
I for one have a penchant for Irish merkins.
What do you mean 'bask in hippies'? I thought you were dead. I heard a zombie hoard got you, hence why I have all your hippies.
I had a simple ceremony for you. There was a candle I lit and Tommy, your pet leprechaun, sang Danny Boy.
And then I ate him.
If that wasn't you we gave a Viking burial to, then I'm sorry to inform you I stole all your pants and ate your Tommy.
We were really sad to loose you. Who knew a Terminator would wipe out all your defences thus letting the zombies in, all because he programmed the wrong date on his gizmo?
Oh, how we all laughed...
So, China, what you're saying is they are undefeatable? Hmm, good for China. Might move there. If you can't beat them, an' all that.
I'm sure I read that there's somewhere in America that speaks in a really strange, proper old-fashioned English accent. Lots of clips on the YouTube somewhere. It sounded very weird, but you know, if there is one place that values this sort of tradition, it would be America.

What do you mean 'bask in hippies'? I thought you were dead. I heard a zombie hoard got you, hence why I have all your hippies. I had a simple ceremony for you. There was a candle I lit and Tommy, your pet leprechaun, sang Danny Boy. And then I ate him.

Who knew a Terminator would wipe out all your defences thus letting the zombies in, all because he programmed the wrong date on his gizmo? Oh, how we all laughed... Nope, I had a hippie commune, you had your self defence classes and we all had a good laugh, except for yourself, who died due to teachign a child in a self-defence class and shortly after tripping on a banana peel and dying, we named your grave plot "New London" due to your appreciation of what was the best area in all of England before the zombie invasion. So, China, what you're saying is they are undefeatable? Hmm, good for China. Might move there. If you can't beat them, an' all that. Yes, they also have a property boom going on right now, if you're interested in living there, ever fancied Paris, Try here, it's in China. I'm sure I read that there's somewhere in America that speaks in a really strange, proper old-fashioned English accent. Lots of clips on the YouTube somewhere.

Oh, the rates are depending on what you're after. But Irish ones have a lovely feel to them. Really top notch.
This conversation is getting very weird.
What really happened was that we had a massive feud that lasted five years. During this time, my twin brother Ramos, nicknamed 'New London' from his rapping days, turned up and subsequently whacked you over the head with a shovel, giving you short term memory loss. You and I then banded together and pledged to end the silly feud and try to build a new society together. Ramos, meanwhile, had gone missing.
Over the next few years, you fathered 17 children with your hippies in your big mansion and I taught them self-defence. All was going well. But then Ramos turned up and you and him had a bit of an argument. You then pushed him so hard, he fell backward and slipped on a banana peel and died, and we put his nickname, 'New London', on his tombstone.
So horrified were you by what you'd done, that I sent a letter back through time to my twin brother Ramos, who I knew was headed to the island anyway, as that is where we'd agreed to meet before the zombie outbreak. Of course, he was in Egypt so it took him a while to reach us. The letter I sent him intercepted him shortly before he departed.
When he arrived, I had told him in the letter to hit you with a shovel so you would suffer short term memory loss, ergo, when you kill/killed him, you won't/wouldn't remember what you did/done.
Of course, you could argue why I didn't just hit you with a shovel, but it already happened. Ramos already did it.
At this point, Terminator rocked up and disturbed you in your hippy commune. I did all I could, but I couldn't save you, man. Your children scarpered, I don't know what happened to most of them, although I did manage to save one. I was panicking, I couldn't do anything. The island was overrun, all I had time to do was rescue little Jack, several of your hippies, the plasma TV, and the lava lamp. Your compound got overrun and I had to leave you.
I got off the island and went somewhere warm and sunny. I took your hippy girls and Jack and did my best. Jack now looks after the koi pond. He's only six. But man, it's been six years, I had no idea you were okay. I'd be glad to rendezvous with you and give you your girls and your Jack back. You can have the island, I can have my tropical paradise.
But I'm keeping your pants.

You dragged it down south, I left it up in the headhair region. You call the conversations weird and then preceeds to write: What really happened was that we had a massive feud that lasted five years.

But I'm keeping your pants. Don't worry, after the purge of unstable leaders, I mean leaders who concoct brothers with mental illnesses, I mean come on, nobody is buying your twin-brother story and ever since the collapse of industry your Multiple personality disorder medication has been very difficult to obtain, initially your tablets had enough to keep you sane but now we're seeing the breakdown, there was a period of great art produced during the time initial times without your medication, now it's insanity and poor ruling of the island. I will have to use my state military to quietly assassinate you, don't worry though this will as gently done as Joseph Stalin did and with the same level of attention to detail of history. |

That's not weird for me. We must have a different level of weirdness...
Did I mention the shovel attack left you delusional? Whatevs, I have my island, you have yours. All that matters is that I'm safe here and you're safe over there, gradually getting crazier and crazier. Concoct what you want, your story is the one no one is buying.
And so, as I sip here in my sun kissed beach bohemian haven, sipping martinis, I'll bid you adieu.
Do try to enjoy your totalitarian hellhole...

And so, as I sip here in my sun kissed beach bohemian haven, sipping martinis, I'll bid you adieu. You are beyond help man, we tried to help youre regime but it got out of hand, the worst example of your delusion is thinking the Isle of Mann gets sun. Do try to enjoy your totalitarian hellhole... It's not a hellholle if you're the one running it. |

I'M NOT ON THE BLOODY ISLAND!
I'm talking to you through the magic of the internet half a world away. When the zombie hoard attacked, I couldn't save you or anyone! I grabbed what I could and fled the island. I AM on a tropical island! Well, somewhat. I'm nowhere near The Isle of Man, you're the one who is delusional! You're all by yourself, now, it's your island. My regime collapsed when the zombies hit. We all scattered. I don't know who's still alive and who isn't, but I am and I am in the middle of nowhere.
So one day, with my new friends, we managed to establish a link with The Isle of Man and you answered. But you've been alone and you've clearly gone crazy. Constructing all these delusions against me, when in fact, it's all you. You've gone loopy.
But put it this way, you always said that island wasn't big enough for the both of us. Well I've moved on, and you have the island now. Start your own regime. Move on like I have and stop making me out to be the lunatic.
You wanted it, you ended up with it.
I am on a beach. And these martinis are delicious. And I can prove it.
Oh, and...
'It's not a hellholle if you're the one running it.'
Sounds like a compliment. Aww, you really have lost your marbles...

I have seen that. It was God-awful.
