*Immediately begins to drive while precariously perching an iPhone on his clutch foot and glancing down at it every 5 seconds*

lol

we drive on the left?

I have no idea tbh and I actually can't begin to parse who's driving what in that video

My first thought tbh was dang, Robb Stark learned how to drive

i say it in the full and sure knowledge that he'll never read it, but meself and herself saw an awful lot of her aul fella in the reaction.

dont watch GOT but have had a pint with jack gleeson (i have luvvie theatre friends now i live in dublin doncheknow) and he's a grand fella

Punch him in the face for me

Actually he's one of my favs. I love how much people love to hate him

arah i couldnt punch the lad in the face, sure i hardly know him

Spent the morning explaining the verbal tics 'mar ya', 'musha' and the lapse into the hard 'wh' at the start of a question that seem to ever more consistently pepper my dialogue the longer and further i live from the homestead. There's a thesis in when and why 'and' follows 'mar ya' but i haven't all avenues explored to my own satisfaction yet, suffice to note that the hibernian-irish grammatical particle has ways and means never bestowed upon it from the oppressor, back alley routes and sleights of hand conveyances that possibly were forced either in the pressurised melding of mothertongue to father or emerged out of a guerilla mentality up the hills of cavan to bushwhack tommy with his prepositional inflexibility

hibernian autocorrect

It is seachtain na gaeilge but i'll be damned if i write in again about them after the last time, i was checkin under the car for months

Can we fight about the gaeilge

I actually had a question about The Irish last night.

If Ireland was under military threat, would the IRA or other 'dissident Republicans' come to the aid of their historic enemies, The Irish Army?

in such a ridiculous hypothetical scenario, im sure it would be a case of bygones be bygones from all concerned

Oof
idk, depends maybe on the identity of the threat?

Could see the idealist hardcore groups staying out of the fray as a strategic measure, with yr common garden local thug maybe inclined to join up to crack skulls legitimately

But, here, looksee now, i want to fight about the GAEILGE

cén fáth

Seachtain na gaeilge agus na litiri in the fuckin t-amini iriseach

Because of its low content of tyramine, an organic compound thought to be associated with headaches,[3] it is frequently recommended as one of the few cheeses that is safe to eat for migraine sufferers.

Speaking of SnG, Facebook slapped a name change restriction on me after me switching to the Irish version the past few years. Who knew?!

Four passport photos, two of which is signed and stamped by the witness who should also enter the form number

School Principal/Vice Principal
Magistrate
Accountant

The witness must be resident in the United Kingdom

Soooo....do you just turn up at a police station here like you do in the motherland or

ya

are you speaking from experience or will this get me in trouble for timewasting with the scary police I have not known since childhood

ime you turn up with another official doc

dont sign anything until you get there you'll need to do that in front of em

I got my college chaplain do do it. Never talked to him before or after.

'Member of the clergy' FFS!

I'm really glad the consulate sent me this guide on how to take a good passport photo. Featuring some of the most Irish-looking faces I've ever seen!
