    I know its not going to happen, but 90% of Comms threads are about things that aren't going to happen.

    I'm just unimpressed by the under-representation of various patron saints.

    Paul, I'm sure you'd appreciate a St George's Day theme, complete with Johnny Wilkson and David Beckham characters in the banner.

    p.s. and the whole Irish thing is a complete laugh - I mean, if I made a Bobby Sands joke in the YJCC right now, no-one would get it [face_plain]

    I'd like to see one for St. Agnes. All bondage, and torture implements, and stuff like that.

    I thought the basic rule of St. Patrick's Day was that people could tolerate inordinate amounts of green as long as they were sufficiently intoxicated.

    So where's the keg? :p

    A Beckham/Owen theme would be great, but these boards are american-centric. For some odd reason St Patricks Day is big in the US. So, we get a St Patricks theme. Oh well.

    A few days? It's only been a few minutes, and already I'm clawing at my retinas to make it go away...

    yeah, funny thing that [face_plain] However, some American's I know genuinely asked if Ireland was physically attached to the UK mainland.


    oh, and I'm not so sure about Owen, he's lost a bit of form recently........

    There are many more things you could take a stand on rather than a St. Patty's day banner. But, hey, whatever floats your boat.

    you underestimate many of us.

    heck, you could start a "What did Bobby Sands have for Lunch" thread. [face_mischief]

    yeah, because the EU/canon debate is so much more important [face_rolls_eyes]

    [face_laugh] most amusing comment I've read in a long time

    Don't worry about Owen. As a t-shirt I proudly wear says underneath a pic of St Michael, 'Form is temporary, class is permanent'

    Last time he lost form and ppl were writing him off he hammered three past Man City.

    the pressure will do him good - he needs to realise his full potential, and not be another English near-miss.

    And you put apostrophes in plurals. What's your point?

    One is a slight grammatical error, the other is a gross geographical faux pas

    What Katya said. Every time the administration tries to do something fun for the JC, someone whines.

    Well if anyone's opinion counts, I like it. I like all the holiday themes.

    However, some American's I know genuinely asked if Ireland was physically attached to the UK mainland.

    Just because some folks are stupid doesn't mean all of us are. Also, there are stupid people in every country. People come here from Europe all the time, stay on the East Coast, and want to take a day trip to somewhere in California.

    i like the green...i just don't like the advertising of beer.

    there are people on this board under 21 who might not be comfortable with it.

    what if someone's parent walks by and sees a glass of beer in a banner of a site where that parent thought it was clean from such adult stuff.
