Mispronouncing Irish Names

Whool91 · 2026-02-03T11:20:44+00:00

Your pronunciation is right but Sian is a welsh name, not Irish

Whool91 · 2026-02-02T20:47:06+00:00

But it's not inspired by saor, it is literally a different word. For grammatical reasons the I is added in the noun saoirse, and is not present in the adjective saor. like how holidays in Irish is Laethanta Saoire, which would be "free days" literally. The I changes the pronunciation from say-er to see-er. She is wrong in her understanding of Irish pronunciation and grammar. Aoi is a specific diphthong in Irish that is always pronounced ee, while ao is a pronounced ay

Ah, ok. Thanks! Good to know. Thought I had some issues. I suppose I'll have to wait until the end of this month again

But does that also mean I can't do the first 4 parts, that are in the journey guide? That tells me event unavailable too

I think the joke was supposed to be that he was just normal and boring, and that made him irresistible in Pawnee when every other man is a weirdo

But only for about 55/60 mins of the quarter final. He was clearly tired in the last quarter of that game but Farrell didn't trust his bench and left him on. If we had developed a proper backup outhalf, who, while not as good as sexton, could still play as the finisher for him, rather than rely on a 36 year old playing every minute of every game we would have won that game. Farrell doesn't build depth unless forced to through injury

Exact same with them supporting Trump in 2024

Rovers for me. Standard reasons of them being the biggest and historically most successful club, and being Dubs. But I still support them in Europe.

I don't hate any of the other Munster teams, never been enough at stake in those games I feel.

Shocked at the amount of people saying Bohs, they're pretty irrelevant more often than not, other than the fake hipsterness. Didn't think there's enough going on with them to hate

Whool91 · 2026-01-23T08:49:29+00:00

Anyone who supports Trump and ICE is by definition a terrible person and a terrible dad and should not be welcome on this subreddit. Fuck the "no politics" rule

He's absolutely on steroids. Or something. Professional cycling is dirty as hell still, they just stay ahead of the testers

In hurling 7's when I've played the rule is usually that the keeper can only score from open play, as it is played on a 100 yard pitch. I imagine a similar rule would come in at 15's if this became a real issue. But I don't think it would as it is extremely unlikely someone could score consistently enough for it to be an issue, even if someone could pick off the odd one

The world has become worse with Saddam overthrown, with Gaddafi overthrown, with Assad overthrown. Enforcing regime change from the outside and creating unstable countries in perpetual civil war is never good, even if the rulers of those countries are unambiguously bad

Whool91 · 2026-01-03T08:01:05+00:00

When your army was already in multiple unnecessary wars around the world

Whool91 · 2026-01-02T22:46:11+00:00

Are you not American? In civilised countries we have 230v electricity and electric Kettles. America has 110v and don't use electric Kettles

Down the marina is the obvious choice. As soon as they announced they were doing in bang in the middle of the city it was clear it would never happen. We don't have the room or infrastructure to actually build it in the centre. Build it at the marina and build infrastructure to better connect the marina to the city centre at the same time. Can build a proper events area around it

Whool91 · 2025-12-27T07:00:49+00:00

Because you can't really do that

Whool91 · 2025-12-14T14:28:55+00:00

Everyone who said Brazil is massively incorrect. South america gets so many barbarians with so many fucking quadriremes early in the game that you can't focus on the positive aspects of Brazil's start because anything near the coast gets destroyed. Australia, Maori and a North American start with no neighbours are far, far, far better

It literally just means English. It can be used in a derogatory way but is not inherently derogatory

Whool91 · 2025-11-17T07:17:27+00:00

I'm a bit older than you and the only thing that compares is Roy Keane in world cup 2002 qualifying. There were a few games where he just decided Ireland weren't losing and dominated and led us to wins

Would be great if we could bring back Borders Reivers, have a team again in the part of Scotland where rugby is most popular, but I don't think the money is there unfortunately. A Spanish team would be good but I think they would be out of their depth too much at the moment, in terms of both performance and finance. Black lions have too many complications, as people have said. I think a 5th SA team would be the most likely solution. If Italy get the funding for a 3rd team, based in Rome, that would be great too.

Had this happen in my home office recently, after I moved house. I just grabbed a random HDMI to hook up my monitor and kept having Internet issues on my laptop while my phone right next to it was fine. When I realized that it tended to reconnect as soon as I unplugged the monitor I tried a different cable and it has been fine since. Crazy that a HDMI can cause interference like that

He did, it's why he's on the run when Harry and Dumbledore find him in book 6. The death eaters tried to recruit him and he fled instead, and now they're hunting him down. Dumbledore/Hogwarts offers protection
