... Riamh nar dhruid o spairn lann.

Translation: ...who never retreated from the clash of spears.

Is that any good?

Its a real Shame no-one uses it anymore - cause as Fenian Says, it is a very nice langauge - for example if I wanted to say,

"Running Fast", the Irish Translation would be: "Ag Rith ar nos na Ghaoithe" - literally it means - running like the wind.

Once the majority of Students finish Secondary school, very few people ever speak it again. I'll soon be starting Speaking it again (after 4 - 5 years) with the new job so I look forward. Will also need to start re-l;earning french again - I love that langauge

Sorry, M8! Excellence has absolutely NO place in the :FI: Crew! Our priorities may be screwed up, but we have a GREAT time screwing!

LoL... :FI:Slishe does sound pretty good - as long as nobody else finds out what slishne means

let's face it - the majority of new players end up being 'toast' anyway

But at least they've fixed the P40 now

Falcon, i believe your name directly translated into Irish would be :FI: Seabhac (pronounced Showack)

Not a bad attempt at the 'ole irish for a man from New Orleans

Gaeilge?

They teach you

Irish words

:FI:Wannabe

WHY yes

Heh...
