mcdonalds milkshakes

[mollykins]

They are one of the few things from mcdonalds i can eat but aparantly they have something rediculous like 1000 calories because of all the icecream. Is this true?

[mollykins]

My grandmother is a little bit irish.

[ummmm]

No she's not.....I was just saying as there are loads of my family members with the same name.

[ummmm]

How can you be a little bit Irish? I understand if you're born to Irish parents but having a Nan that is 'a little bit' Irish doesn't make you a little bit Irish. Same as having a great great grandmother who was Scottish doesn't make you Scottish as you claimed.

[redcrx]

flipping heck, my ex hubbies grandad was polish. With my surname i must be a little bit polish. Wish i had known before i named my kids!

[ummmm]

lol....

This is enough to make you have a coronary just reading it.

[mollykins]

my dad grandad is French, my dads mums family is Scottish. my mums mums family is irish and the rest is english.

[ummmm]

So you're English.

[mollykins]

I think i'm about half english because all the scottish irish and french people married english people then each other.

[jno]

that is definitely loads of cousins, ummmm. jno jnr is older than mollykins but has only two.

[ummmm]

Really? I have 15 just from my Mums side.

[ummmm]

Oh and Molly.....you're English.

[jno]

it's true, ummm - four of us have produced just three children. Smaller families are much more common these days. I had 12 cousins, I think, but six were from one family. (I'm talking first cousins here.)

[ummmm]

I'm talking first cousins as well. My Mum is 1 of 5 and my Dad is 1 of 13....

[jno]

thirteen, well, that explains it. That many was never very usual. You are over-cousined. Perhaps you could spare a few for jno jnr, whose aunts and uncles have been so idle.

[ummmm]

Lol.....we can't count how many cousins my Dad has. Both my Nan and Grandads siblings had a similar amount of children. She was 1 of 10 and he was 1 of 11....dominated by boys. That's a hell of a lot of 1st cousins. All named after their brothers and sisters. My Dad has 6 cousins with the same name as him.

It's an Irish thing I think.

[jno]

wow. Irish Catholic thing, perhaps. The good news is you will have inherited good childbearing hips. Have you got into double figures yet?

[ummmm]

No...I have 3. I might go for number 4....still deciding.
