No provlem Saint Tom , im glad I helped.
Now im really ( !!! ) not trying to insult anybody here , but I have to ask this:
Do you have a "heavy" accent , like the same as the english that people from Scotland speak ? ( do know how to spell accent , hope you understand )
Sorry for the rude question, I was just wondering
We can't even understand each other, hence the "troubles." :DQuote:

We do more singing than talking, in fact, some people believe they're one and the same thing in Cork. ;)
The Irish accent is very unique and I realy like it :)Quote:

Our accent is different from Scotland. When i was in collage, It took me two week to understand what donegal people and South Kerry people (opposite ends of the country) are saying. I had one guy from south kerry who spoke with a grunt voice and speak slower(or relaxed) than most and donegal was garble and talk faster :confused: . When I first meet them I though i would have a better chance of understand dog language :eek:. I was unlucky, that i had to share a house with these two lads who were had the extremes of accents from their own counties. It was like learning two new languages in a foreign country. There might as well be indian,russian and german in the household. After the first month i became the translator for them.Quote:

But as peader says, sign language work best. It a simple but effective method, especially when your'e at the back of the pub and need a few pints. Just nod at the barstaff for attention, and sign your order. By the time you get to the bar. Order is ready. :D :D
:D :D how roooo doin?????Quote:

* "Sababa" or "Akhla" means great/fantastic, or sometimes ok.
* "Magneev" = great/nice.
* "Jiffa" = garbage.
* "Ben Zona" = Son of a bitch
* "Stom Ta'Pe" = A very rude way to say "be quiet", that means "lock you mouth".
* And the last one is a very big challenge for non-hebrew speakers... "LeKh Kha'Pes mi YeNa'A'Ne'A OtKha", = go and find someone you shake youself... If someone ask you to do something and it isn't sound fair for you... that's the non-polite way you say you don't agree. Don't say that in a taxi or in a market, between friends only.
More Hebrew slangs you can read in:

Friday and saturday were hot, but today and the rest of the week shouldn't be as hot as the weekend was . Today 18C in Tel Aviv , I hope and think it will be hotter by the end of the month .Quote:

But what they did say a few days that 2,500 Irish people already bought tickets to the match. This makes me happy because were 3 weeks away and im sure that more people will join when the date will be closer.

Apologies, if this has been discussed previously, what are those traveling planning to do regarding currency exchange, can't imagine your average BOI having many sheckles on hand. Are people jusy bringing the yoyos, or did you have to book the shekles with your local Bank..
Cheers
Paul
Tickets arrived in post this morning
