My wife and I went on a lovely wine tour today with friends. One of the lasses serving us had on a shirt from an Irish tavern in Syarcuse, NY with the word "slainté" on it. No, really, not sláinte but slainté. I guess, at least they were trying. Gaeilge briste ...

That's what I get for submitting without proof reading. Too many fadas of my own. TURAS fiona.

That's a strange one. I can see them forgetting the fada entirely, but I wonder what possessed them to put one on the "e"?

Redwolf

I guess so it can be pronounced slane-tee

Which Irish bar in Syracuse?

Kitty Hoyne's? (my old watering hole)
Colemans?
The Limerick Pub?
Nibsy's?

I guess the brain is slow right now but it will come to me. It had the name and then under it, "Tipperary Hill, Syracuse, New York." My daughter's dance teachers family owns the Ballybay.

Ann Johnston? I love her. She's cool, in a really hyperactive kind of way! I took a few lessons with her once.

Let's see: Tipperaray Hill -- I'd figure that would have to be Coleman's, or maybe Nibsey's.

If you haven't been to Kitty Hoynes, you should definitely go. It's really a fun place. They have great live music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste

Oisin,

Ann's as hyperactive as ever, married to someone named Sullivan and has a little one.


Conor,
Thank's for the whole seanfhocal.

Níl mórán Gaeilge cliste agam.

ACH

Tá neart Gaeilge briste agam.

Bhuel, is fearr sin ná Béarla cliste
