Paddy took 2 stuffed dogs to the 'Antiques Roadshow'.

"Ooh!" said the presenter, "This is a very rare set, produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers taxidermists who operated in London at the turn of last century.

Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in good condition?"

"...Sticks?" Paddy replied.

On certain sites, that would get you banned for being racist, Dishmop.

Possibly. But that does overlook the fact that this, like a number of Irish references, shows not stupidity but a straightforward approach to logic often overlooked by others.

An 'irish cutting' is a peice of plant stem that has already started to produce roots. Much easier than starting with a fresh tip and trying to induce rooting.

It's a good job this isn't one of those sites where knee-jerk reactions might be expected.

NOr should you be. Just goes to show we are a (generally) merry bunch...

Yes, but they'd be family snaps. Erotica would have been taken from behind...

Reminds me of an old none PC rhyme.
Welsh for deceit,
Irish for wit,
Scottish for thrift,
English for trust.
Not sure it's as wise as the initials would suggest

Why do welsh sheep still have their tails?.....

Where does that leave the Cornish....
other than copper wire was invented by two Cornishmen arguing over a farthing !

A very posh English lady took her deceased pair of pet monkeys to the taxidermist, when he respectfully asked the lady if she would like the monkeys stuffed and mounted, she replied that simply holding hands would do!

Who's Erotica? and where does she live?

There are four kinds of people in the UK -
First, there were the Scots who kept the Sabbath - and everything else they could lay their hands on;
Then there were the Welsh - who prayed on their knees and their neighbours;
Thirdly there were the Irish who never knew what they wanted - but were willing to fight for it anyway.
Lastly there were the English who considered themselves self-made men, - thus relieving the Almighty of a terrible responsibility.
