Not just for the "yes" vote which I applaud, but for offering the vote to the whole nation and to those who felt it so important they travelled home to vote.

Mcem do have a cupcake . If only it were larger, I could ice a slogan on it < sighs >

Good girl - this time you didn't mention the c word.
I'm still wondering if mollie and like-minded posters would find my daughter's wedding c* more or less offensive as it had 2 little brides but no words!
The slogan or the symbols?

And well done, Ireland, celebratory cakes or no.

Was innocently reading this thread and got to a point where I was reading about the use of inverted commas. Gransnet mind bend kicking in. Pass the cake, GT.

Is there vodka in it or something?

Meant to add that a few years back we were enjoying some Guiness in Dublin, down by the river. Didn't dawn on us that it was a gay pub even with the name Out on the Liffey. Bet they're downing a few celebratory pints there today!

bags my point was simply that I found it odd to single out just a few specific adjectives to put in quotes, when they've been absorbed into everyday speech so need no special treatment.

It's OK, mcem, I did understand. I was pleasantly amused by the diversion.
