@AntipodeEmpire From an outsider perspective it seems that the Aussie & Kiwi relationship is very similar to the US & Canada relationship; similar cultures and foundations but have diverged enough at this point.

Would New Zealand be in a better position today if it had joined Australia upon federation?

@Catholic_bro @FeelsGuy2003 He’s on the border, but I think on the millennial side.

@KatiePMcGrady This week was made for a lot of us that are of the “Gaelic and Garlic” flavour, especially in the Northeast.

My husband’s cousin’s son is named Declan Giuseppe.
This week was made for him.

@JHenryCDF Does Trefynwy and Monmouth mean the same thing? What does Trefynwy mean in Welsh? I live in Monmouth County, New Jersey so I am interested in the etymology of my area.

@KatiePMcGrady At least you have a Mc name compared to an O’ name; the O’ names are a burden especially dealing with technology and such. Who recognises the apostrophe and who doesn’t; it’s given me much acida.

Just got home from a quick work trip & frantically placed an order for some leprechaun shenanigan items because I carry the burden of an Irish last name & my children have come to expect St. Paddy’s Day Magic, so Walmart, I need these rainbow twizzlers delivered in the next hour

@crousselle I grew up in central NJ; lots of people with parents from NY City, if you weren’t Irish, Italian, Jewish, or some sort of mix with those ethnicities, you were outside the norm.
English
I’ve said this before but I genuinely did not believe Spanish was widely spoken in the US when I was a kid. (Grew up in southern Maine)

Growing up in this region will really destroy your perscriptions on the demographic break down of the country. I thought that may be a quarter of the United States was Jewish untill I was maybe 29 years old.

What’s one spiritual habit you’ve recently started or want to start?

@crousselle @nicolefshirman They sang the English French Hybrid at the games at Norwich; I never learned the full lyrics in English because of that.

@nicolefshirman english, french, or that weird frenglish version they do?

“Oh you’re a hockey fan? Name three players!” ❌ Boring, unoriginal, cliché
“Oh you’re a hockey fan? Sing O Canada word for word.” ✅ The true measure of whether a non-Canadian is a hockey fan

Best part of this weekend is always Mass at Old St. Pat’s! ☘️

@crousselle @owenbroadcast I had that happen to me in St Stephen’s NB staying overnight on the way home from Cape Breton in 2024
English
@owenbroadcast You’ve clearly never been to your brother’s hockey camp in St. Andrew’s, New Brunswick and have your phone time keep changing constantly depending on which cell tower (Maine or NB) it bopped off of first

how did i just learn, after a lifetime online, that there is a secret extra north american time zone: “atlantic time”, pictured here in lime green. they just mandela effected me, on my own continent.

@kidtheseventh I’ve done 7 pipe band gigs so far; have a few more to go. Such is life in a New Jersey pipe band
English
@AJOS34 That’s fair. I wasn’t on the parade we did last weekend, this is my only st Patrick’s day event this year
English
@kidtheseventh Parades can definitely be fun; but I’ll tell you that by the 3rd weekend of March I am St Patrick’s-ed out
English
@AJOS34 A parade for st Patrick’s day, for work, but parades are fun :)
English
@kidtheseventh If you had to play in another section of The Old Guard, would it be drums or bugle?
English
hard to pick favorites but these are all up there for me
maybe: k*rk@oldscarf1stweek
What is the best photograph you’ve ever taken?
English
@crousselle I would put this in the same category of competition pipe bands; it’s competitive art. Every competition that we play at we put on a performance. If we put on the best performance, we win the competition.
English
This is such a strange wording.
“Performing”? She’s competing.
“Finished as the woman’s champion in the free skate and short program events last year” ….so, the champion?
Yahoo Sports@YahooSports
BREAKING: Gold medalist Alysa Liu has opted out of performing at the world championships in Prague later this month, per @cbrennansports. Liu's schedule since the Olympics has come at the cost of preparation for the world championships, where she finished as the women's champion in the free skate and short program events last year.
