Hello all,

If I can, I would like to get "May Hell greet you with open arms" translated into Gaelic, and possibly the pronunciation aswell if that's not to much trouble. I Have plans to write it down the shaft of my bow Thanks Very Happy

There is an excellent native curse which although not exactly what you request is IMHO much nastier!
