You are a pit.

Isn't there a little bit of a pit in all of us?

How do you spell 'View Askew' in Irish?

[ziggysego]

It's a film production company.

Askew meaning crooked; awry.

Most people's mind work horizonally.... mine's works vertically.

I'm a member of their official messageboard and I'm pimping my Irishness for St. Patrick's month.

[Square Ball]

think this is the most appropraite thred for this:

Aifreann Gaeilge, Lá Fhéile Pádraig

Bredagh GAC is collaborating with An Droichead and have organised a Mass in the Irish Language in Good Shepherd/Holy Rosary Church on the Ormeau Road on Saturday 15th March at 1pm.

After Mass, for Massgoers, there will be a cup of tea and a music session in a meeting room adjoining the church.  If you're a musician, bring your instrument, if not, just bring yourself.

I diddnt do the Irish

[The Biff]

I tossed this idea out last year but it didn't really fly.  But this seems a good time and place to try again.

With all the criticism that "Ireland's Call" gets, why not translate it and sing it "As Gaeilge"?

I made a bad attempt at the Chorus but I'm sure someone here could come up with something which would still fit the rhythm and maybe even encourage some of the fans to puff out their chests another couple of inches.

At the risk of drawing howls of derision, here's my amateurish effort .....

"Éireann.  Éireann.
Le cheile seasaigí go hArd.
Gualainn cois gualainn,
Freagrionn Glaoch na hÉireann"
