New thread - can I lick it off by asking wat to wear to a confirmation this Friday? Winter or spring clothes ?I fear I’ll be perished but I think the family will be in spring dresses ( I’m Godmother )

She’s cos playing a Tory

I just had a brief moment of confusion thinking I was still on the Chalet School thread.

”I didn’t recognise Mary Lou….has she had work done ….. ?”
DH says it’s because Holly Cairns is so popular as a leader. 🤷‍♀️

I was confused @DeanElderberry I wondered if you were confusing Malahide and Malory Towers.😃
Holly has very swishy hair . Is she having another baby or has she had one?

Me too!

Now we have Donald Trump and Donald Junior and Donald III. It must be interesting to be in the meetings with our wonderful leaders.
Its a dreary day weather wise here. I hope it is better in Doonbeg for lovely scenery on telly.

They're here for 2 days ? Where do they stay tonight ?

In their hotel

There has just been a photo on the news of Donald in the hotel bar. Old Donald. Not Young Donald or Wee Donald which is how my inlaws differentiate.

The photo of the armoured golf buggy gave me a right laugh

Ah yes forgot about his hotel, I thought Catherine might have put them up in her spare rooms. Hope his hotel gave him a nice room and a nice bit of brekkie in the morning.🥓🍳🫘

Catherine’s presidential insta post was far from a cêad míle fáilte

The poor staff I'd say it's very stressful knowing the very big boss is staying

I’d say the Garda chief breathed a sigh of relief when the US President left the country safely.

Did anyone else get the 'Be Emergency Ready' booklet?! Are we to expect a war? Another pandemic? An even bleaker winter?? I'd say it has scared a lot of people, and worried more. The weekly shop is costing enough as it is without having to stock up on batteries and toilet rolls!

Lighthearted - ish. 😃 I just have to comment on this thread title and the use of a grave accent instead of the beloved fada. Grave accent is primarily used in French, Spanish and Portuguese, maybe other languages too. It has a very different effect on language to that of the fada. I don't know why but every time I see this thread pop up, it triggers something.

Tá bioseanh orm anois. Slán. 👋

Im waiting for iodine tablets. And a booklet.

Mea culpa

In fairness I’m dyslexic and Irish has always been a struggle for me

I still have my iodine tablets.

I still have my iodine tablets and I'm always stocked up on batteries, water etc because power cuts and getting stuck home because of snow. Doesn't happen every year, but often enough to be prepared for it.

I had a slightly nutty episode early in the year of buying a 2 dozen pack of loo rolls every time Trump or Putin did something daft, but I had to stop that because I ran out of storage space.

Storage is my biggest problem, we have hardly any and I struggle to hide the crisps & treats from the teens without having to find a place to store extra toilet rolls and large bottles of water 😩

What’s bioseanh @ColadhSamh?

I have about 3 million scented candles.
My son in law has a fada. His mother is very protective of it. I can never remember how to do a fada or umlaut or French accents.

For someone who likes things correct @ColadhSamh- shouldn’t that be CodladhSámh ?
Lighthearted - ish
