Oops I did it again

Published by Fence under Irishify, Sport

Nuair a scríobh mé the post about Seachtain na gaeilge, I used the abbr tag so the non-irish could translate,ach rinne mé dearmad that Internet Explorer doesn’t display that tag correctly. So you all didn’t get a translation. Anyways, I’ve since edited that post, and am using the span tag instead, so nuair a feicidh tú a couple of words in glas, then place your mouse over them and you should get a translation. If it doesn’t work, let me know, and I’ll use the footnotes instead.

Right, new business. Remember the blog awards? Well, by all accounts[1] they were a great success, the list of winners can be seen here, and no, I’m not there[2] All the reports indicate that a good night was had by all, so if they are on again next year I’ll probably head along. Congrats to all the winners/nominees/participants and especially to the organizer, Damien Mulley

Now the most important aspect of the weekend was, of course, the rugby. Agus, bhuaidaidh na fhrancach against England. This is good, in that it is hard not to feel sásta when England lose, especially when they are utterly destroyed. Ach bhí dóchas orm that it’d be a draw, because then Ireland would’ve been top of the table. As it stands now France and Ireland are equal on points, but because France have scored more in their matches they are on top. So unless we beat England by a huge amount of points we really need Wales to win next Saturday.

And, finally, before I forget, it is week 162 and Luna Nina says:

I bpoll sa talamh a bhí cónaí ar hobad

This week (4-17th March) is Seachtain na Gaeilge 2006, ach lasmuigh de Gift Grub’s Na bac leis na Buzzcock I haven’t seen any mention of it, not an ad on the telly or even ar an radió. However, there are events being held both here in Ireland, and internationally.

It’ll be interesting to see if the big brother-type show gets any interest. Personally the presence of Gavin Lambe-Murphy’d be enough to persuade me not to watch. Never did like his column in whatever newspaper it was/is. Dialann of an IT boy just isn’t my cupán tae.

In other news, nuair a bhí mé at the kino recently there was a trailer for Romance & Cigarettes, starring James Gandolfini, which looked very uninteresting and gruama epecially for a kinda comedy, which it seemed to be. But then, de satharn chonaic mé cláir Jonathan Ross, and he had a little bit about it. Turns out it is a musical. How did I miss that in the trailer? Of course, that’d be cause there was no ceol in the trailer, ar chor ar bith. I think the one I saw was an edited version of the one you can see here. Agus, tar éis Jonathan Ross, maybe I will go see it. Then again, maybe not.

Táim cinnte go rinne mé a lán botún san post sin, ach, is cuma liom. Thug mé iarracht ar rud. Agus, is leor sin.
