Balor na bhFomórach. The fomorians were the shit

Mmm, if it's not in Bergin's 'Stories from Keating's History of Ireland' (3rd ed.) then I'm unfamiliar wit it. I did the Cath Maige Tuiread when I was a gossun at college, ran all that stuff by Dumézil's tripartite society nonsense. My favourite story was the stor of mac Da Thó's pig. Ripe burlesque indeed.

Just saw the question at the bottom 905, I have always believed it to be a mythical piece of China from something I read twenty years ago but can't swear on it, maybe our friend in the green livery could help.

The automated response is;

To learn a language you need a good ear but with Ulster Scots, you need a straight face and a brass neck. That's the language, the culture is vast, rich and should be cherished. Unfortunately the agencies tasked with its promotion are a laughing stock.

Check line 4, there is no way clit is part of the Ulster-Scots dialect. Clout maybe?

Aragh, are we back on Sammy Wilson?! When will people learn. As an anthropologist (in training) it is in my interest to heartily encourage any distinct emerging cultures; Ulster-Scoots is as legitimate as any.

Ah, more so than Norqwegian; I have it on good authority that they invented their language out of a few remnants of remote village dialects. Still, it's in the scholarly journals today. IF IT'S IN A BUKE IT MUST BG TRUE, EH?

Guest

Hey 905......bad enough they planted us in 17th century but they had to come along and steel my accent and try and make it their language....not 'avin'it

Outside Dingle of course. Ye didn't hear that in the Xmas day special on rte 1...probably their only half-reasonable show.

My mother walked in on me twice inside six months when the breast in the bluebells appeared .....and no I wasn't watching it on video......."so this is what you're watchin'?"

It's no good referencing such things to me, I've blocked them out completely. No mammy required.
