Bíonn cluasa fada ar mhuca beaga.

Little pigs have long ears.

Más maith leat do cháineadh, pós.

If you like to be criticised, get married.  :D

B) You may opt for the latter if your magnus opus is directed at a younger, more dynamic audience, attuned to the needs of practical reality. (Hey! did I write that??)
There's no sore bumlike your own sore bum.

The Master slapped it into me every morning.

Ca raibh tu areir?

Bhi me ag deanamh mo obair bhaile
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
