The Irish did build it, you nut. Well, Belfast protestant Irish. That's why it sank.

:lol:

I was just about to post that and ask wtf else would they be building a museum in Belfast. I'm glad I didn't have to though, it might have made mbm feel a little sheepish.

I had to download it for my missus to watch, then my niece asked me to as well. Also, notable member of the Twitterati, Sonny Botson, posted a screen shot full of idiots asking about it.

In other news, I did a spot of wallpapering today. What do you reckon?

Chrome plugs. Noice.

Yeah, the wallpaper itself also has real chrome in it. I simply won't have any other metal in my home. but. Wallpapering and Titanic.
These questions aren't just going to go away.

Three thousand Northern Irish workers worked on the construction of the Titanic out of a total of 15,000 workers in Harland and Wolff.

I'm still not entirely certain I misread the section. 3000/15000 is not quite "Irish built".

It is if it was built in Ireland.

I can't believe I'm talking about the Titanic. I come to the internets to get away from the cunt.

It is if it was built in Ireland.

And by an Irish construction company.

It's no big deal if you didn't know, mbm :idunno:

I was just about to say that they have one of them every year. And then I realised it was about a hundred years ago. And then I googled and found that it was exactly one hundred years ago.

:pinch:

So that's that cleared up. What about my wallpapering, you phillistinistic bunch of bar-stewards.

Yeah, it's no big deal MBM. You did read it wrong, though. The entirety of the H&W workforce was 15,000. 3000 of that workforce worked on the ship. The rest were out killing catholics and getting pished.
