They are impossible. Like Welsh. No match with the English pronunciation at all. There are only something like 14 letters in the Irish Alphabet anyway so combinations have to be invented.
When I was a kid and we used to come here on holiday, the words made so little sense to me that I thought the Irish Language Road Names that sit above the English Translations on the signs, were Japanese, for all the Japanese tourists.

That's all right Trubble I enjoy a small challengeI write crap poem That should be "difficulty", surely? I deliberated over the choice of words there, Weyland, but I felt that "challenge", in this case, was the correct word to use - plus difficulty has four syllables.

You were right, Trubble, that is true. There was a young lady from Exeter, Who was pretty, and men craned their necks at 'er. .....One was even so brave .....As to take out and wave The distinguishing marks of his sex at 'er.

I PM'd Eve about that just before it started. She missed it, but that link will solve that. Me? I didn't listen. I was too busy cataloguing my Gene Vincent memorabilia and tuning the Bonneville.

I'm listening to it now. I don't think I was a real mod - I didn't take purple hearts.

I don't think I was a real mod I knew it -- I knew it! The word "was" is interesting too. Rockers are always Rockers. It's in the blood (SAE 20W40).

That looks like a proposition, not a threat. Make it Whitley Bay and you're on. Mmm. January. Better make it Cancun. I was in Clacton once. Met a bloke in a pub who lived in the next street to where I was born.

When I was a teenager I was a Sunday School teacher and proud to be on the committee of my Youth Club. You lot are degenerates.

Must-See items today:
BBC2 21:00, Mock the Week followed by Rab C!
I suspect Bellamy's People might be good too after that, and then Newsnight or Question Time (on BBC1).

I will DEFINITELY be watching Bellamy's People if we're back in time. Mr. E. is taking me out to dinner this evening. (Nothing posh, just a pub meal. I've had a hard day at the coal face looking after the twins.)
