has anyone sucessfully acquired a shamrock shake this year :love:

You'd think that in March individual McDonald's would be especially careful not to have a broken machine.

I come pass a couple different McDonald's in bus terminals and train stations everyday and I've been checking and everyone has has a broken shake machine. This is distressing as I can not enjoy my yearly shamrock shake!!! I think it's to do with the fact that they are in terminals and stations in not as nice neighborhoods.

The one's in the suburbs would probably have them but that'd involve traveling there specifically for that purpose because they are mostly stand alones and I don't know.. that seems a bit sad...

haha

they don't have that here. perhaps next year.

Bloody racists. Patronizing cunts

what you mean you guys don't drink green milk?

Sadly not ronno...nor is irish Beer green, nor has any corporation got a right to steal another country's patron saint for profit.

"oh look at the cute boghoppers...aren't they all sweet and ickle and green"

No we aren't.

Who's the patron saint of the US?

How come he was too shit to sort out the snake problem there?

hope a skyscraper falls on their parade.

Indeed, what ever next?! The whole world wearing bowler hats and painting their kerbstones red, blue and white?!

there's a diseased lot here who think that's clever too of course.....but from first hand experience I can tell you they are all tards, which by extension would mean that persons called "kawalski" and "issikawa" who paint themselves green and shout "bajaysus" are also twats.

OK...skyscraper falling over may be a bit harsh....a nice carbomb in the middle of it for that authentic Irish flavour sound perfectly reasonable.

Ps...shamrock is a member of the Clover family and as such, unlikely to taste very good...unless it's just CALLED shamrock of course, in which case it's DISHONEST and racist. ;)

Mr Chip meet Mr shoulder

BTW - Bangor to Dublin in under 2 hours! I got through Belfast like it wasn't there! (should have stayed for the Linfield Shels Match - head like a feckin sieve, me).

hahah

It's not racist.. it's nationalist or something but it is dishonest

and it's Mint and I love mint and McDonald's also has the best milkshakes

so if I can only get a fantastic mint milkshake for 3 weeks out of the year I'll participate in any form of mass racism and hysteria to get it :D

E.G.G. good idea.

I'll be staying in for amatuer night by the way. I can't stand people pretending to be irish. But even worse the pub where I watch my football is faux irish so there were tons of people there for the st. patrick's day parade.

omg "my great great great great great grandmother is from ireland so I'm irish!"

These people suck.

I saw a couple at the pub on Sunday (it serves brunch so it's more than a bar) who were in their early 20s. They had little kids with them dressed in green and everything. The kids' names were Patrick and Carolyn. GET OVER IT YOU'RE NOT IRISH YOU'RE AMERICAN AND I BET SOMEWHERE YOU'RE ITALIAN HAH HAH

It was more annoying when I was dublin where every american said "well I'm 1/xth irish so I know how to pour a guinness" or "so I know how to *do something irish*" or the best "this is my family's pub" with some last name like doyle.

Yeah, we all hate that 'my neighbour's cat shits green, so I'm part Irish' crap

*do something irish* just means GET DRUNK on anything you can get your hands on & then if you are still able - 'do someone Irish for Paddy's day' Then you will get a real flavour of what its like to be irish on paddys day ( the rest of the year we are all demure & sober - honest!)

i was looking forward to a thread about Frank Shamrock but hey ho

I'm allowed to hate it too because I'm part Irish

hahaha

OUTSIDE NOW!

LOL

Worth pointing out that you can make a living even with MY accent over there....never mind yours CuanaD...never had to buy a drink the US of A.....black guys who were irish, the aforementioned O'kawalski and McIssigawa's are only too glad to but a frink for a "fellow" paddy. MUUUHAHAHAHAHA.

So...let me get this straight..,..you're saying I can't blow up even a WEE bit of the parade?

Bahhh you're no fun anymore.

BTW....for the TRULY authentic irish experience....don't forget to get the fire Dept to connect a hose through 45 beer coolers before spraying you with it, assisted by a 100mph fan....typical summer day here.

I had one this year and as usual it made me sick.

I can honestly say i've never heard of one. I used to order milkshakes but the last few times at McD's the machines haven't been working. They make me sick too. Although they could be lucky.

i had no i dea that this existed, i love mint, i have to find one!!!

ChrissMari wrote:

FYI, Steve, I think the names you have in quotes are supposed to be Kawasaki and Ishikawa. What's wrong with a couple of Japanese guys celebrating St.Patrick's?

I wish that there is a Baskin-Robbins in my hometown. But my college town has Coldstone. Mmmm.
