Hey you two!

It's been ages since I've seen the movie but I remember enjoying it.

So: Count me IN

 

[Takhisis]

Hey you two!

Tucson Lepht, is that you?

Right… two questions, unknown Irish stranger:
-how do you feel towards a certain Glasgow club founded in 1888?
-do you agree that muted letters such as mh, dh and others make for a better language?
Be warned! Peril lies ahead.

 

[Arakhor]

Nooooo! Towards muted letters lie madness! Toirrdelbach is a noted example!

 

[Ravus_Sol]

In. My country says Australia. I back away and hide from the muted letters topic

 

[Winston Hughes]

Never seen the movie - check.
Already playing too many games - check.
Always get killed in the first couple of days anyway - check.

I'm in.

 

[Takhisis]

The presence of Winston Hughes makes the presence of CCRunner and johnhughthom indispensable.

 

[Reiser]

After there's at least 30 people, when do you plan on starting? Immediately?

 

[Takhisis]

A couple of days after I close the signups, depending on some RL issues. I have to round up everyone and check whether they're still around, then sort out the roles and send role/team PMs to everyone.
I'll post a link here when all's done.

I don't really care for Celtic, I'm a United fan myself. That said, I am quite anti-Rangers, and hope United beat them well in the Champions League.

As for the Irish language "Ceapaim go bhfuil e teanga ro-deacair, agus nil aon ghra agam do" Translation:I think the language is too difficult and I don't have any love for it. It is probably one of the toughest languages out there, with many rules outside the normal rota.

And as for my mafia credentials, you need only check the Beatles mafia game.

Good.

Eeeeeexcuse me?

I feel betrayed… well, Scottish Gaelic ain't that difficult if approached in the right frame of mind . Maybe you Irishmen love doing things the hard way.

You should check out our Sports Forum here, since we have plenty of things going on there about football.

 

[Takhisis]

Indeed.

 

[robbiecon]

I guess Takhisis is from Scotland, Yes?

And yes, the people who made the rules for speaking Irish were silly and foolish, and the Irish government is even sillier to still make it a mandatory subject, even though 95% of Irish students HATE it.

 

[Risen]

In...

 

[Takhisis]

Yes… and no. Most of the family's moved out into wherever else. We live in argentina now -and have for almost all of my life- . As such, I don't have the football-hatreds that most people have. On top of that, the majority here is Catholic and so am I but some things die hard.

The right frame of mind to approach it is to take it up as a hobby/fun thing, if it becomes a school subject then I can see how it gets doring. Try it again some time

 

[Arakhor]

You live in Argentina???

I find when I'm on holiday, that if I want to say something to someone else (my brother, or dad) in private, I just use Irish. It feels nice to have the power to use it, and know no-one will understand you, especially in Europe where you coud easily have people who can speak 4 or 5 languages, but Irish is not one.

Although in Italy there was a guy working in one restaurant (an Italian) and he knew some Irish phrases.

 

[Takhisis]

Come on people… two more and we're all set to go! I have exams in two weeks so I'd really get started before the exam whirlwind, if you please.

You live in Argentina???

I thought you knew… most of the forum does. Why else would Plotinus offer to buy me a drink if I made it to the UK meet and I was complaining about uni and exams in August?

You can always say 'mac na ghalla' or others without people understanding you… providing you keep your face straight.
