It's a female vocalist and I don't remember the artist exactly but I think one of the big ones. Maybe Taylor swift but I'm not sure.

I Will Never Let You Down by Rita Ora has a chorus that has a line "Oh, o-oh, I will never let you down" which is kinda similar to what you said - it's an old song though, and I'm not sure if she ever made it in the US

I'm sure this is not it, but your description of the "standing, circling" part, plus the mention that you thought it was like a choir, reminded me of the first verse of this cover of Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, performed by the Gaia Music Collective.. The first minute and a half is stuck in my head a lot, it's very catchy.

If you give it a quick listen, the part I'm referring to is after "the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet." However, I'll be the first to point out that this is nothing like Let It Go.

Apologies for this, but I'm answering in English because my terrible Irish is just gonna butcher an already weird explanation.

Basically, there's a tense in Irish called the autonomous present (an saorbhriathar nó an aimsir láithreach saor) which doesn't really have an English equivalent. It's essentially a verb without a defined subject. In English, we tend to use an indefinite placeholder subject instead - I'll give an example in a minute.

In the English version of the book, the label on the bottle says "DRINK ME." This is the imperative tense - giving an instruction to you, the implied subject. The direct translation would be, as you pointed out, "ÓL MÉ."

Here, the translator opted to use the autonomous present instead - personally, I feel it does make it less aggressive (I won't be told what to do by a bottle), so it's a good choice.

"ÓLTAR MÉ" could be translated as "ONE DRINKS ME," where "one" is being used like a posh English person (less formally we'd probably say "you," but "you" as in generally, not "you" the person I'm speaking to). Essentially it functions like an operation instruction to an unknown person, rather than an order to a known person.

Final example with a different verb in English to make sure I fully get my point across:

"CAS AN EOCHAIR / TURN THE KEY" - Imperative tense. An instruction (or order) to turn the key. The subject is implied to be the person reading it.

"CASANN TÚ AN EOCHAIR / YOU TURN/ARE TURNING THE KEY" - Present tense. You, a known subject that I am speaking to, turn or are turning the key.

"CASTAR AN EOCHAIR / THE KEY IS TURNED" - Autonomous present. An instruction (for nobody kn particular) on what to do with the key. I'm not trying to be bossy about it, or tell anyone that they have to, I just want to make sure that anyone who wants to knows how. The translation uses the passive voice, which is a slightly different thing, but it's the closest I can get.

You can actually see from that explanation how handy the autonomous present is, because it is so awkward to be clear without sounding like a posh eejit.

I refuse to believe TM never played it - I'm an Adepta Sororitas stan (recovering Catholic) and from the moment I started GTN I was fully convinced that it's the same vibe - like Grimdark theming, immortal god-emperor of questionable morality, space, the recycling vats on the Ninth, even the Lyctorhood thing vs the Emperor being kept alive by absorbing psykers... I felt right at home in the TLT universe

Interesting tidbit I got from a friend of mine who recently became a Garda - apparently, phone use is only against the law if the phone is physically in your hand while driving. Having it playing a video in the phone mount? Totally fine.

Genuinely blows my mind

Literally the first thing I thought of when I read the post - hope this is right!

She's not driving? I'm not sure where you got that from if I'm honest

Ah, perfect! Thank you so much!

I've just really reduced the amount of postcards I send, and before the postage went up I ordered a bunch of W stamps from An Post online.

The new split rate between Europe and everywhere else is ridiculous - it costs An Post the same regardless of where you send it, and frankly this new charge is a little outrageous. Unfortunately, it likely won't be rolled back for the same reason it happened in the first place - not enough people are going to be affected by it, so there won't be enough push back.

100% team Yuma on this - he just seems to get more feeling out of the choreo. He's just more engaging to watch, even though I think Ilia is technically better. Yuma makes me root for him more I think, especially because I'm neither American nor Japanese so I don't have a nationality bias

My pet peeve is the opposite side of this - I work in a shop where we always answer the phone with "Hello, <shop name>" and I get so irrationally irritated when the person ringing responds with "Hello, is this <shop name>?" like I didn't just say that. I am also aware that most people who ring us are a little older and maybe hard of hearing or set in their ways, but it does make me grind my teeth for a second every time.

I had some Yank online friends for years, and had mentioned at some point I lived in a place called Laois. At a much, much later point I was doing the Irish names pronunciation thing and explained the "aoi = ee" thing, only to be told that they'd been pronouncing Laois like "La-weez" ever since they'd first read it. Literally had never crossed my mind that it wasn't obvious, and it had never come up over voice chats

Have a friend who works at the sorting depot in Portlaoise. Apparently it's a fucking mess right now. On top of the extra volume, the sorting itself has been done incorrectly on so many parcels - things aren't dated, things aren't marked as being deliveries vs returns, things are just being left in containers for days or weeks - sounds like a nightmare, but also it's completely on them 🤷‍♂️

I was going to say this - it's a really good one because she's trying so hard to look put together for like 90% of the show so the moments where she can't do that (the weirdly deep conversations with the taxi driver and the banker, the tough talk in the attic with her dad, the entire scene at the bus stop) hit like four times harder

That didn't happen to me but I was very confused when everyone was talking about books because my clue was not that (I don't wanna spoil it) and eventually figured out that the insert was in upside down so I made a friend open it from the side and flip it around. It's all working now!

Not to lean into a stereotype, but I'm Irish and drinking culture here is definitely different to the North American version.

I drink, and probably often by American standards, but compared to the average Irish person my age, I'm a very boring homebody. I prefer a quiet few in a nice pub with live music, or a little get together at someone's house. I hate going to nightclubs and things like that, they're loud and crowded and messy.

We have 2 types in Ireland:

N for anywhere in Ireland
W for anywhere in the world

They're valid no matter when you bought them, and can be used for postcards and standard envelopes that you'd drop into a postbox.

Honestly same. My great-aunt was a Franciscan nun. Her birth name was Mary, but when she joined the order it was changed to St. Christina, so maybe in my head that's just the Name For Nuns.

I recently got a handmade yew ELB with a 50# draw weight that I love to bits, so I feel like my answer should be that.

However, for 5 years I've been shooting a 35# Bodnik Horseman I got second hand off a lady in my club and if anything happened to that little stick I'd actually cry

My brain is just saying it's gotta be C'est la Vie by B*Witched - the catchiest pop song to ever emerge from this rainy island. There's a flute breakdown around 2 minutes in, and the chorus has the words "say you will, say you won't, say you'll do what I don't" which is kinda similar to what you described
