just happened to have a brick handy here come the paddy jokes now

While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear
And to throw them down from off the top seemed quite a good idea
But the gaffer wasn't very pleased, he was an awful sod
He said I had to cart them down the ladder in me hod.

Last time my friend was in Udon, he had to duck for cover after an all in brawl spilled into the streets. I've also seen other reports of brawls in Udon. Sorry, but we don't see brawls in Bangkok. Does that help?

It's said in Ireland that we fight among each other because we can't find any other worthy adversary! Hence 'The Fighting Irish'

They were fighting about the love from a "LADYBOY"

Pictures coming.

They usually wait till a family member's funeral wake for this sort of thing. Or a wedding.

I not be to hard to find a man with a brick in his hand

[Berkshire]

Maybe the victim is a TV member who can shed light on this. All I get is he invites a complete stranger to his house and gets a brick in the face. I would hate to speculate....

More than a grain of truth in that - and I am Irish.

Couple of Irish guys made front page of the Sydney paper here in Australia recently. They were brothers had a fight about nothing and one almost killed the other.

I assume all the fighting takes place up there as there are no girls left in town as they have all taken off to Pattaya.

A few posts removed, one criticizing grammar, another replying to it & another couple of flames. Lets remember the rules shall we.

Have to admit last time I was up that way i also bumped into some drunken louts.

Must be about 2011 where i went with a Thai friend up to udon thani and we went into this gorgeous irish pub restaurant..great food..just these 3 youngish guys in their 30's , i gathered they were locals..started making fun of my Thai friend because he looked feminine..they were drunk and we were eating up near the door..the staff knew them obviously.

My friend knew what was going on and he was half their size but was ready for them..i wasnt ,i just didnt care for their loud immature remarks.
