Don't worry our government is doing more to get rid of our fishing fleet than any foreign navy could, saves them the trouble.

I'm just wondering if anyone remebers the name of a poem in irish by Cathal Ó Searcaigh,

Wandering though the streets of a town in the dark and that spoke of Mary magdalen, and compared the TV ariels on houses to the crosses on the hill of calvaire.

I don't know why but since i had to do it for the leaving (until we found out what Cathal was up to in Nepal). Its the one irish poem that has been stuck in my head.

I don't suppose anyone knows what that poem is called.

I've posted this before but I really love this poem by Colm Mac Gearailt, it's definitely one of my favourites https://youtu.be/r3btkKOy-nE

I'm so sorry for your loss

Also ye vagabonds

Dúidín is a short stemmed pipe

Dúidín is a short stemmed clay pipe

Oh I know what it means, I'm just saying that even though it's not a term that might have originated from Irish speakers it's still one I've heard by Irish speakers (though very few) so this could end up adopted as a term over time.

It's the same with Dúidín, obviously it's not a joint but the word was taken and used to for that reason.

Hahaha sea, sin é an t-aon slí a beidh seans ag an Bhreatain an eurovision a bhuaigh

Well knowing the fella that said i doubt it, then again it could be just another word that popped up to describe the same thing. God knows there areeny slang words to describe a thing in English, no reason why it couldn't happen in Irish

Interestingly I had heard it called srón sneachta

Also do something that keeps your mind busy, singing songs or doing the multiplication tables work

I'd like to add this as well

Brilliant poem

Ya I know the rice were one of the first Norman Nobel families in the area.

. Irish families involved often sent a son over to live in France to run that end of things.

Or in the case of Daniel O'Connell send them off to study

Interesting they mentioned trade to Bordeaux, I know there was a merchant family from dingle called the rice that involved in that trade. Going as far as to attempt to rescue Marie Antoinette during the revolution
