No one in Manchester is going to complain if you take the Scousers off our hands. In fact they'll probably have a whip around and raise a couple of Billion to sweeten the deal. The Cornish are fine people. My best mate in the real world is a Cornishman, the only mate from school I still keep in touch with. So you can't have Cornwall even if you want it. Obviously they are a very backwards nation who still chase trains waving a stick at the big metal monsters but we love them nonetheless.  |

I think Scousers are probably the biggest thieves I ever came across. In many ways they were like pikeys, you had to constantly watch them or something would go missing. Having said that I did have one good Scouse mate, knew him for years. He lives in Bulgaria now, pikey HQ, lol.

The Scotch people don't have anything left worth nicking so they don't seem to mind taking them off our hands. The most valuable thing they ever had was some old stone that used to sit under Her Majesty's throne and nobody else wants that. We only kept hold off it for so long to wind them up. Worked a treat too for about 700 years. |

It's a little known secret but until it was returned to Scotland it was securely kept in the visitor's toilet at Windsor castle. |

I went to Blarney castle when I went to Ireland for the European juggling convention. I didn't kiss the Blarney stone though because I figured I was talkative enough already and the local kids sneak in and piss on it overnight. There were 3 coach loads of American tourists there who queued up for two hours for the pleasure and a picture to post on social media though. I had the rest of the castle all to myself and it's a fine one I must say.  |

European juggling convention LOL. I've never been to Ireland, I'm told it's nice, in places. I believe Dublin is a stag night destination, without trying to sound like a bore, which I'm not, I see that as a good reason to stay away. Having just checked I see Blarney Castle is further south. Deep into IRA country. Yes OK, it looks quite nice.

Deep into IRA country. Yes OK, it looks quite nice. It was my first time. Absolutely lovely people. Can't do enough to help you. Bit of a pain if you are in a hurry and just nipped into a shop for some essentials. They want to hear your life story and if you are not quick enough running away after they will tell you theirs and cousin Paddy's. I can't wait for a chance to go back. The EJC is there again next summer and I'm hoping I can afford to go along as a punter this time. I would go with my kitchen again, turned over 20 grand last time but bloody Brexit put a stop to that. Yes Blarney is just outside Cork. I went to visit the fellow caterer I'd got friendly with to have a tour of the bars and top up my weed. Don't believe the story about Guinness tasting better though it's still the same old burnt caramel bitter taste as it is everywhere else. The locals drink Beamish and ship Guinness out for suckers around the world to drink just like the Aussies do with Fosters. |

I thought you were having a laugh. FFS I've just checked, how about that. So you have a hot dog van? And btw, why have lots of padlocks appeared? It's beginning to look like a US forum. |

How bloody dare you. I have a fully equipped TV and film location catering lorry. I was turning out restaurant level food to jugglers from all over the world. I went down a storm. It was my first EJC but I have been catering the British Juggling Convention on and off for more than 20 years. I'm a fucking legend amongst jugglers with my ''Montegriffo's Frying Circus'' Go on Google Montegriffo's and juggling food and read the reviews. Hot dog van indeed. I've never been so insulted and I get out a lot.  |

Dubs is the cause of the locked threads.
He's been putting us at risk of being shut down by our Proboard overlords for posting Covid conspiracies. We don't normally care what rubbish he posts but Proboards have a special rule all about covid and we just couldn't risk our little community just for the sake of his crazy ramblings.
We've not banned him or anything but he's under very strict orders not to do it again.

LOL, superb reaction. Ok so you have a fancy hot dog van. All I can find is something about...
..."Gourmet vegetarian food from Montegriffo's Frying Circus". Veggie? Alarm bells are ringing.
Come on Monte give me a link.

Come on Monte give me a link. That's an old one. I stopped serving veggie food only a long time ago. I've been looking for reviews from Ireland but the one I just read was from one of the top Yank jugglers and he was very serious about the juggling and the show but didn't even mention food. I'll have a look at what it says on the BJC wiki page. Pretty sure I get a mention there. I speak the truth though. Any juggler who has been to a few BJCs over the last 20 years will know who I am and how good the food is. |
