The Ireland advert
Just saw the advert for Ireland - you know the one, where people 'discover' things for the first time and Accrington was mentioned. - Who's betting that Lee Barnes from Accrington doesn't really exist, or does someone know him?

Re: The Ireland advert
It always makes me look up when Accy's mentioned in the advert.
I bet he's really called Tristram, and lives in Leatherhead.

They kiss rocks over there
Blarney Stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: The Ireland advert
The other 'tradition' with the Blarney Stone is supposed to be that, when the men that hold a person in position to kiss the stone, finish for the day before they leave they have to urinate over it, for luck?
Don't know if it's true but that's what they told my wife after she'd kissed the stone, the look on her face was unmissable!

Re: The Ireland advert
Are they still allowed to kiss the Blarney stone in this day and age of health and safety?
