I'd already had a sip out of it! x <BR/><BR/>Bless you Bloggus Nuttus for your bloggy goodness! xblognut said...<BR/><BR/>Derrick: I should have you know, Sir, that it is all Gullible's Travels with Fhina, so I shall believe practically anything you tell me and fall for it all - Hook, line and sinker! Er, I think St. Patrick was actually Welsh!<BR/><BR/>Protege: Aha, yes, I know you like a bit of the blarney, Z! How lovely for you - There is nothing like a charming Irishman, I can imagine!<BR/><BR/>Derrick: You left your gauntlet over there, Sir beside Lady Wiki's pikestaff, methinks! x<BR/>She is known for being a fickle mistress, tho' - If I had longer, I would do better research!<BR/><BR/>ladyfi: OOooh, I like the idea of Skål! Another wonderful language to think about - I know absolutely no Norse languages...sadly. Excellent, thank you, dear ladyfi! x<BR/> <BR/>Lola: Hello there, Lola! My you do know some wonderful words connected to the Black Stuff - I need to look "galactagogue" up now! Is it to do with the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?! <BR/><BR/>The Things We Carried: Meredith, I know, and I feel just the same - only Lancashire in my veins from long ago, 'though, and I think some Scots from my mother's side - 'Twill have to do, until I dig deeper and find I have some Irish there too! x <BR/> <BR/>FF: I know I felt a bit odd writing about that - I had not realised that he had possibly driven out the Druids - That is not something I am at all comfortable with, FF! History is a very interesting and sometimes deliberately confusing thing to study, is it not?! x <BR/> <BR/>Expat mum: Hello you! I read your comment out to my family and we all laughed very heartily at it - I noticed on the web that some cities dye the river green - Astonishing - Is it green food dye, I wonder? Crackers! But, you Expattie, are a hoot! Thank you so! x<BR/><BR/>Reasons: And once again, this comment, Reasons, made us laugh out loud fit to startle the neighbours - We have had lovely Irish friends with those same eyebrows - You are a darling! I swear by Tweezerman Tweezers by the way - Not cheap, but they're worth it! And your comments about the Vatican's response to Brumham! You are a veritable wag, m'lady! x<BR/> <BR/>Fair Scriptor: Thank you, sir - The squirrel is a little darling, isn't he? - All my pics come in html copied over from Photobucket, until I can work out how to upload jpegs from Google Images to Blogger, as well... - Can anyone advise? Bless you for your kind comments! <BR/><BR/>Michelle: Hello Cheeky! Take care you! x<BR/><BR/>Auntiegwen: Thank you, beautiful Auntie Gwennie! What lovely heritage you have! x<BR/><BR/>Diane: Ah, Diane, I think your (possibly Scottish, was she?) mammy was having a bit of a dig at the old green there, if she had you wear orange on St. Patrick's Day - Goes back to the Orange Day Parades, and all that, methinks, but I am often wrong! My best to you, my bloggy friend! x<BR/><BR/>LV: Happy Shamrock - I likes it! x<BR/><BR/>Rob-bear: You big bear, you! I know that little blessing, I think it's lovely, and that was almost my post today, bear! It was either that or the strange one about, May you be eaten by the cat, and may the cat eat the devil! <BR/><BR/>A Cuban in London: Hello and Welcome!
