England invades Ireland!

[SINthysist]

It's true. It's true. They've decided to just unilaterally take over North Ireland. Warmongers...

Next it will be Russia taking over Georgia to prevent the flow of oil to the west.

And we're still only talking about taking down Saddam...

Enland invading Ireland?
That news is 400 years old.

 

[SINthysist]

So am I...

Yeah but he's from Kansas.

They're a bit out of touch in the flatlands...

[SINthysist]

News travels really slow and West Nile got a bunch of our horses slowing down the mail considerably...

 

[bluespoke]

It's times like this that I am fully appreciative of the habit of our American cousins to refer to our islands as England!!

Yep!! The Poms won the Battle of the Boyne and have been losing ever since . . . That happened before Kansas was formed, SIN . . . must have heard 'bout it . . .

 

[Coolville]

Hot off the presses...

Rome (AP)
Julius Ceasar, Emperor of the Roman Empire, has reportedly been stabbed to death by a mob of chubby senators. Film at 11.

(just doing my bit to keep SEENthiscyst up to date)

 

[SINthysist]

Good gawd, do you people read your own papers?

Great Britain has shut down the Northern Ireland government and intends on going back and running the show.

Their part in the war on terror, I'm sure!



Give Ireland back to the Irish,
Don't make them have to take it away...

Sir McCartney...

 

[SINthysist]

How long before Hanns takes credit for the hit?

 

[SINthysist]

We just got the news about the emerging Roman threat, but weren't going to do anything about it until they got to England and THEN, THEN, WE WERE GOING TO GO ON THE WARPATH!

(But first we need you all to introduce the horse...)

 

[bluespoke]

Good gawd, do you people read your own papers?

'Course we do Syn but it's been in our papers for a week now!

 

[SINthysist]

You're telling me they've forgotten already?

News isn't the ONLY thing slow in KANSAS!

 

[KillerMuffin]

You'd be shocked, pee pee, you'd have to go north out of England to find more hills than Kansas. Why, we even have the world's largest atomic cannon on top of one of them. Nevermind that it's poised to take out Dwight Eisenhower's museum and we don't have any ammo for it.

 

[SINthysist]

Yes, we also have plans to turn the Flint Hills into a forest of propellers to create electricity and save the environment. From what I have no idea...

It's not like there's enough of us to even pollute!

 

[Coolville]

Yes, we also have plans to turn the Flint Hills into a forest of propellers to create electricity and save the environment.

Yes, and I hope you do. The wind turbines will be bought from one of two Danish companies. And I have stocks in both of them. They've been going up and up and up over the past couple of years what with all the sales to TExas and California. So by all means, buy those turbines!

 

[KillerMuffin]

They want to save it from our nine coal burning plants. However, Westar will take that electricity and sell it to places like Kansas City and Oklahoma City like they do with Wolf Creek.


Kansas environment isn't fucked by electricity pollution as much as it's fucked with by damming, pesticides, introduction of non-native species, and erosion.

 

[SINthysist]

We got nothin' to dam here. Damned river keeps going dry.

We should keep burning coal. Hell, some of it's been burning for thousands of years. Gotta dig it up. Health hazard. Kansas has to depend on NOONE for electricity!

It's the water we're a little short of.

 

[Coolville]

surprised you need wind turbines at all what with all that hot air that generates in your state...

 

[SINthysist]

... and as much as I would love to contribute to your country's economy, there is such a thing as VISUAL POLLUTION, too...

 

[SINthysist]

Yeah, that KM goes on and on.

Rest of us kinda close-mouthed...

 

[p_p_man]

You'd be shocked, pee pee, you'd have to go north out of England to find more hills than Kansas. Why, we even have the world's largest atomic cannon on top of one of them. Nevermind that it's poised to take out Dwight Eisenhower's museum and we don't have any ammo for it.

Never mind at least you could say it's in keeping with the 'American way'...

Dunno about the dream though.

Actually it dates to 1125, when Gilbert de Clare "Strongbow" Conquered Ireland...

All Her Majesty's Government are doing is what "the majority" already desire: ie an end to devolution. Imposition of direct rule is the result of Stormont's failure to effectively govern.... so re-enter the Irish Ofiice and rule from Whitehall. Where is the RUC??? That's right, powerless and renamed... Maybe the SAS will need to be despatched. God Save the Queen!!!!

Remember, that a majority in Ulster wants direct UK rule...its the militant minority opposed.

 

[SINthysist]

Weren't the majority PUT there by the UK?

 

[LordLucan74]

Weren't the majority PUT there by the UK?

Not exactly....they migrated there, mostly in the era preceeding trans-Atlantic travel. They were allowed to go... most came from Scotland. Later, mant English, Scots and Irish took to the high seas to America....They were allowed to go, but were not "put" there. Hence, in my case (as in many) some of my family reside in America, some in Ulster, and some in England/Wales....
