Obama knows the importance of the Irish vote, and of course the Beckham vote!!
Landon forgot his lifts.
He's leading out the Irish team....Keano! Keano!
You'll never beat the Boys in Green....Keano! Keano!
He scores goals by the dozen
He's Barack Obama's Irish cousin
Robbie Keane - Ireland's goal machine!
How many points did Villa earn when Keane was there? Just wondering if in hindsight he can be said to have kept them up? They've been in freefall for about 10 weeks.
due a burst of them thenQuote:

Despite making only six appearances this season, Robbie is still joint fourth with Marc Albrighton in Villa's scoring table!
I think Dylan Moran would appreciate Obama way more than he does Schwarzenegger. I don't even know what Irish Spring is though. Do some people outside Ireland still think potatoes are an aphrodisiac?Quote:

Its the soap. And i believe it has no connection to Ireland whatsoever other than Americans marketing wags copping on that the clean and green image of ireland would well work on a domestic cleansing product.
And a more modern one

I have narrowed it down to two possible meaning each with a 50% likely hood, so I need a bit of help.
What some of you don't seem to understand is that, to most Americans with Irish heritage, embracing that heritage means using Irish Spring, listening to Dropkick Murphys (who are the "pogs?"), drinking Shamrock Shakes (and Guinness), eating Lucky Charms**, and wearing green/getting drunk on St. Patrick's Day.
**which I thought was a worldwide product until I asked some Galwegians and they'd never heard of it, much less had it.
Two years ago I landed in Toronto and went to the store to pick up some toiletries.
Saw Irish Spring and said to myself, "I must have that". It's gack. Original Source all the way.
Worm, back in the early 90s Lucky Charms were launched here. They were pretty popular for a while and then once the novelty wore off they waned. Interestingly enough I hated the mallow so picked them out and only ate the cereal. Wretched stuff all round.
As a proud, self-respecting Irishman, feckless drinking naturally consumes my mind like it does every other Irish person across the planet. Just enquiring as to its alcohol content. :)Quote:

Definitely my favourite Irish Spring ad. And incidentally I think Villa's rapid end of season demise was more attributable to Dunnes absence than Keanes.

A huge blow of course, but I think Villa's goal scoring was a much bigger problem than their defending.Quote:
