I'm sure you would look lovely ...

... if the scales in the pattern were right side up.

Between the wrinkles, the orthopedic shoes, and nine decades of gravity, it is really hard to be alluring. My icon, you ask? It is the last picture I allowed to escape the camera ... back before most BC authors were born.

How about...

How about Teal panties? Do they count?

If it helps anyone, I believe

If it helps anyone, I believe it's generally written - "Éirinn go Brách"

(Considering that a huge chunk of my genes are from Ireland, I'll have to admit that most of Ireland's problems were self inflicted. I mean, when you're an island nation next to a larger country that has a heavy navy, maybe selling your people as mercenaries that fight _against_ that larger country wasn't the greatest of ideas.)

Anyway - Canadian Irish/English who can't drink alcohol. Go me! :)


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

"Éirinn go Brách" is the correct Galic spelling

However, like all other words or phrases that make their way into general usage in the English language, we have to bastardize ... oops, I mean anglicize it.

It seems to me that the British tried to do the same thing to the Emerald Isle itself.

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

That's what all cultures do

That's what all cultures do during colonization or conquest. The French required that the Vietnamese learn French (plus lots of other stuff for the various areas they took over, even momentarily), the Spaniards and Portuguese were the _worst_ (no need to give details). At least the English, in general, said "Learn English, and don't screw with trade. Other than that, whatever." That's part of why their Empire lasted so much longer than the others. Irish are just really hard-headed. My relatives would agree (pointing to me).

Just remember, English may

Just remember, English may have started off as a member of the same family tree that includes German, Old Scots (as different from Scots Gaelic), Frisian, Dutch, and a few others, but it radically diverged due to it being heavily used as a trade language. That meant it simplified the basic structure to the point where even those with only a couple of hundred words can be understood by native speakers.

You know - English is a language developed by the Angles to chat up Saxon barmaids. ;)
