I just realised the second anniversary of this threads creation passed us by on February 8. Well done everyone.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?

We've been through so much together.Originally Posted by BonnieShels
Never mind that anniversary, this is a rather more important one.
And a UI team to boot...

One that got away??
GOAL- ABERDEEN 1-0 DUNDEE (McGinn)
The Dons' answer to Gerd Muller does it again. Niall McGinn, at his razor-sharp best, cuts inside 30 yards from goal and arrows a shot past the despairing Rab Douglas. That's McGinn's 17th of the season and his fifth against Dundee.
The sight of McGinn will strike fear and alarm into the hearts of those in Dark Blue, akin to spotting Banquo's Ghost in the distance.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Tremendous. Deja vu to him strutting around the Brandy like that a few years ago. Great to see him doing so well.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
looks like he really didn't

https://twitter.com/KeithGillespie7/...40908270338048Was asked by reporters as regards an all Ireland team and said that it works in rugby but couldn't see it happening in football
As usual the reporter tries to sensationalise the story so don't read into it too much
Well, he did say it is "great" that rugby has a single all-island team but "disappointing" that football doesn't, which would surely imply a single all-island football team would be something he'd support, so not really sure how he can claim his words were twisted. They're quoted verbatim.
Somewhat rich to blame "politics" and name-check James McClean if he ultimately subscribes to the notion of two island teams then.“It’s crazy that one sport can do it and another can’t,” he said in an interview with the Sunday Life.
“It’s great that the Irish rugby team have such a mix from all over, but I suppose it’s just politics and it will probably never happen.
“It would definitely have made both countries stronger over the years, so it’s disappointing.
Be fair, at least KG acknowledged 'the concept' before saying it's unlikely. For now.
He went a bit further that than on Twitter.
"Never happen for various reasons. At no stage did I use the words I want an all Ireland team"
The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
He also used the word "probably" though.
He also said he was disappointed. He hasn't disputed any of the quotes, just the headline. Clearly he would have liked to have played for an all-Ireland team, he just doesn't think it is politically possible.
Here is an eligibility question: In 3 different newspapers today, I read that Daniel Day-Lewis was:
"British" (2 times)
"Irish" (2 times)
"English-Irish" (1 time) Note: papers listed him as multiple things in different articles. Since going on wiki is what causes this, anyone really know? Just curious.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
He's confused himself. His father was Irish-born Anglo-Irish who moved to England as soon as he could. He considers himself Anglo-Irish and moved back to Ireland, but by his own admission doesn't fit neatly into either Irish or English categories. I suppose he is some sort of method-acting Andy Townsend figure.
Nice answer, thanks. I was--i mean we were debating it at work like what's he sound like (A Brit and An Irish both denying)
Anyway Chuck i was walking down 5th today by Bergdorf Goodman and they have a Charles Darwin thing in one of the windows...i thought of you and felt awkward. Douche Chills. (Thats second hand embarressment for all you free loaders)

You should really get some help for that
Day-Lewis' father, Cecil, was born in 1904 in what became known as County Laois post-partition. He grew up in London and was raised there by his father with the help of his aunt after the death of his mother in 1906. The family continued to spend summer holidays with relatives in Wexford. He possessed British citizenship rather than opting for Irish citizenship upon Ireland's declaration as a republic in 1948, according to Wiki, "on the grounds that 1940 had taught him where his deepest roots lay". Not sure what the 1940 reference relates to exactly. Anyone have any idea? He did name one of his other two sons Sean, mind.
Daniel Day-Lewis was born in London but appears to have no qualms in embracing the Irish aspect of his identity whilst also acknowledging he is English - having been raised in England, receiving an English education - and supposing to be a "die-hard agnostic". He states in this interview that his father raised him with a great sense of love for and belonging to Ireland, but does dismiss any sense of confusion over his identity despite not having "worked it out" entirely by that point:
He has been an Irish passport holder since 1993, has a dwelling in Wicklow and two of his three sons are named Ronan and Cashel, both Irish names.
Of memories of family holidays spent in Mayo as a child, he stated:
As for his accent, being an excellent method actor and impressionist, it depends what film he's working on at that point in time.I have many images that come from that time. The light, the smell, the utter delight with which we would fly out of the car as soon as we arrived and dive into the nearest bit of the Atlantic. The power of them remains undiminished. Life in England was, by comparison, a little colourless.
Ireland was a place of renewal and hope and I still see it like that. It was the place where we were all together as a family. And it was like a secret garden. Making a conscious decision to live in a place means you are going to take the mystery out of it to some extent, but you can never entirely do that here. It’s one of the great qualities of this place. When people say you’re mad here, it’s a compliment.The accent you hear in the interview posted above is his ordinary accent. He was bullied for being "posh" at school, which prompted him to mimic the local accent and mannerisms of his peers; his first convincing performances, allegedly. For me, he stands out as one of the few actors who've truly impressed whilst attempting to imitate a convincing northern Irish accent in both The Boxer and In the Name of the Father.
