Three construction workers are on the seventy-fifth floor of a non-finished building. The Italian opens his lunch box to find a pizza and says "Man, if I get pizza one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!" The Chinese opens his lunch box to find rice and says "Man, if I get rice one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!" The Irishman opens his lunch box to find a corned beef sandwich and says" Man, if I get a corned beef sandwich one more time I'm going to jump off this building and end it all!" I can't take n'more.
So the next day they all got the same thing and they jumped off the building to their death. That weekend at the funeral, the Italian and the Chinese wives are crying and saying "I would have fixed him something else for lunch but he never told me." And as the two wives stare at the Irishman's wife, they both ask why she isn't sad about her husband's death, the Irishman's wife replies "Don't look at me, he packs his own lunch."

Well I've spent a LONG time in Civil Engineering in the UK and overseas. A lot of that was with "George Wimpey Department One" aka WIMPEY Civil Engineering (and of course anyone from "old time" civils in the UK knows that WIMPEY stands for "We Import More Paddys Every Year").
So just to celebrate in a "Blue Grass" sort of way...
Here's Alison Krauss and the Cheiftains :
I love the way Alison puts that song over. Nothing like the "Civils" songs I know, e.g. "Down the glen came Balfour's* men, Just like Ballet Dancers, one in nine had served his time, the rest were F^><ing Chancers."
* short for "Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering."

Naaaaw, engineers seldom get a mention. It's mainly Labradors (laborers), Ganger Men and General Foremen (Works Superintendents).Originally Posted by Brian Krashpad

Since I couldn't be any more German and still have my blood clot, I would agree with this sentiment. It just so happens that my wife bought some Guinness at the store on Friday. That's not a St. Patty's thing, we tend to have some form of Stout around at all times. I've got the fixin's for a batch of homebrew Stout but I haven't had the time to whip it up.Originally Posted by Childbride
However, offer me some corned beef and I may just barf in your face, regardless of how much Stout I've had. I don't much care for cabbage unless it's raw, slawed, or turned into sauerkraut.

Haha, I spent a blissful week in southwest Ireland almost 15 years ago, entirely unmolested by corned beef or cabbage.Originally Posted by just strum
The soda bread is excellent. And forget about a "Continental breakfast." An Irish breakfast is like an American farm breakfast: eggs, sausage, breads, coffeee or tea, milk.
Irish cuisine is beginning to come into it's own I think, like British, but even moreso. Wonderful seafood.

I was drinking beer with a coupl'a Russians many moons ago & begged off another drink as I had to drive.
One of them says:
"Drink?" We haven't *started* drinking yet, that's not a drink that's beer.
