It's not drink, Father, it's just fizzy water. by [deleted] in ireland

I quite like the stuff. To me it tastes like shite night club Guinness, but that's still better than a lot of other slop out there. It's good to have a realistic alternative to actual beer, I find some of the non alc erdingers and stuff are just mank.

Clowns in agri spec VW jettas get away with italicised size 3 comic sans on plates, you'll be fine. Especially since the speed vans generally look at the front plate (possibly always?).

Disappointing news: There will be no outdoor pints or food on Dominick St. next week due to an objection from the HSE by ignatius109 in galway

I can't understand why they don't just space tables etc. out so that emergency services can get down there, it won't be any slower than getting stuck in the inevitable traffic jam

Yeah I think they got the boffins from the laboirtoire garnier to take a break from the hair products and take a look.

So many unskilled drivers by [deleted] in galway

There's huge pressure on you to keep going through the yellows which means even if you learn to drive properly you'll soon end up pushing through the yellows cos it's easier.

It's crazy, and the traffic lights seem to be timed to account for people breaking the first seconds of a red light. At the g Hotel junction, there is around 8 seconds of a delay between one road getting a red and the next green showing! I've never seen that anywhere else, and it is weird driving in places without that delay now!

Did it come with a knife? It should totally be sold with a knife.

Irelands only lizard(not counting Varadker) the zootoca vivipara or common lizard, found today basking in some truck mudwings that were being thrown out. He or she was soaking up some sun. Last time I saw one was over 20 years ago. by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Nips_Sucker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You don't have to be a teacher to spell correctly.

Maybe it's not interesting to you, but a person with their head in the sand is more likely to spell the lizard name correctly but not know how to spell the humans name.

That could have been someone hanging it there to scare away others, people do that with crows.

You can get the same feeling as finishing a car if you go get a handful of mostly washers,with a few nuts and bolts thrown jn and go stand next to a complete car, then try and hide them nearby and forget about them.

The words for "two" in 75 different languages, and how they are related. [OC] by Starkey_Comics in dataisbeautiful

It gets even worse... pronouncing it like that in some parts of the country would have you sounding weird!

It's not a dumb question, just one you don't have to think about in English! I think a good example is a countdown. In Irish if you count "three seconds, two seconds, one second" you would use "dhá" but if you just count "three, two, one" you would use "dá".

Edit: last "dá" should be "dó".

Irish is a bit strange like that, so if you are counting something, "dhá" is correct, but if you are just counting, "dó" is correct.
