Pubs Open All Night For Referendum

[ChillDoubt]

Oh dear:

Without wishing to cast aspersions on my Celtic cousins, if the campaingning has been anything to go by this could turn out to be the most famous yet infamous night in Scotland's history.

I sincerely hope it won't be so for all the wrong reasons.

Uisce beatha



Deoch is ea uisce beatha nó fuisce (whiskey as Béarla) a chumtar de bhraich. Déantar an bhraich as eorna a chur in uisce agus a shíolrú, agus ansin í a thriomú. Drioglann a thugtar ar an áras ina ndéantar an t-uisce beatha. Tá stair fhada ag an uisce beatha in Éirinn, agus cé gur mó aithne atá ar an deoch órga ó na drioglanna móra, déantar méid áirithe poitín fós, go háirithe i gceantair iargúlta agus shléibhe. Is in Éirinn agus in Albain a dhéantar cuid mhór den uisce beatha ar domhain. Cé gur mó an aithne atá ar whisky na hAlban, is in Éirinn a d'eascair déanamh an uisce beatha, nó

Ron, what is the point in posting something that very few - if any at all - can understand? Ridiculous!

Uisce beatha ( see Wikipedia)

Ron.

Just for the record, I'm a Partick Thistle fan and before anyone thinks of posting a joke about them, I've heard them all :-)

[naomi24]

I shouldn't have to.

[naomi24]

^That was to Ron.

[Baldric]

Or for that matter are even interested in trying to translate!

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think it's a wise move but hope it passes without too much bother.

[andy-hughes]

It means whiskey.

The rest appears to be some ramble about whiskey - not sure of what it means in English, never mind Irish!

[whiskeryron]

Sorry naomi, just me being silly. Forgiven please ?

Uisce Beatha
Dead
Lost
The cost of redemption
too high for humanities
dregs to bare
There is no longer light
at the tunnel's end
and my mirrored friend's
eyes are vacant with
tomorrows lost
expectation...
When will the pain end
and the sun rise on the
morning of our soul's
desolation?
Droll preachers intone
empty words of pity
from the ancient book
they've been bred to
recite.

Whiskey or beer might
illuminate the darkness
better.

[andy-hughes]

As usual, the prospect of profit overules the common sense that clearly shows that this will proibably not end well.

[Mamyalynne]

Don't blame me for the 'e' in the word Whisky. :-)

[whiskeryron]

It is an article I copied from Wikipedia describing Whisky ( which incidentally I abhor) in Scottish Gaelic ( I am truly not that clever, I thought it would be amusing to re-produce in this thread re. Pubs being open all night)
