Not the way we say it - it’s just guard with an ee sound at the end. If you ever talk to them you just call them guard or Garda (an í or aí at the end of a word is how we pluralise, like an s in English). Never call them officer or anything like that, as a general rule in Ireland people dislike formality, so if someone is in a position that they need to be addressed respectfully you just call them by their job title instead of anything formal, so similarly you never address a judge as anything other than “judge”. And never call an Irish person sir or madam, not sure why but everyone here really hates that.
They need to send in the army and give them an opportunity to redeem their dignity after their much storied defeat to Australia’s true rulers, the emus, in the 1930s.
Worth mentioning too that Italians screen their athletes for potential heart problems a lot more vigorously than most. Wonder what they’ve started missing in their screenings in recent years (Christian Ericksen was with Inter when he had his heart attack in 2021 too, although he was playing for Denmark when it occurred)
He was Welsh, non-Irish sure but not that foreign. And I don’t really care, I’m not religious, but the four leaf clover doesn’t mean anything Irish but is often used to represent us abroad. Personally I blame Celtic - they use the four leaf clover as their crest and are a supposedly Irish club, but their reason for using it isn’t really a reference to Ireland. Think that’s where a lot of the confusion comes from.
Sorry but no, that’s a four leaf clover, our national symbol is the shamrock which has three leaves. It’s used because it is how St. Patrick explained the holy trinity to us when evangelising us, explaining that just as a single shamrock has three leaves the one God has three persons.
All of the romance and Slavic languages are gendered. All of this degendering language nonsense is linguistic imperialism, pushed of course by the usual anti-imperialist types. They are morons in every sense of the word.
Are they the Q people? Honestly thought they’d have all just slunk away after that whole religiously believing obvious bullshit thing they had going on was revealed. Must be pleasant to be impervious to embarrassment though.
Sorry, I used a screenshot in case it got shoahed and the post just linked to a deleted Twitter post. I see from the other reply you got that it has got the “limited visibility” thing now, so I was half right.
None of those things are really that important in the greater scheme of things though, on a very fundamental level the only important things are survival and reproduction, and the former is only important to accommodate the latter. Life hasn’t survived on this planet cos of avoiding social scorn or even violence, it’s survived and thrived because we are driven, at our most basic level, to “go forth and multiply.” Homosexuality is the ultimate perversion against our most basic instincts because it kills a genetic line that has persisted for billions of years in one fell swoop.
Well Britain has no white leaders, first minister and deputy first minister in Northern Ireland (so UK) are still white. But tbf that would be very hard to change cos of the weird political system they have to use there.
Ha never heard washer used as an insult before, but I love how pretty much any word can be insulting when delivered in that inner city Dublin accent if the intonation is correct. Similarly, absolutely any word can mean and be understood to mean “very drunk” if delivered with the correct intonation in any Irish accent.
That guys name is Graham Linehan, a hugely successful comedy writer whose career has been destroyed for opposing tranny nonsense, and that’s without needing any draconian hate speech laws.
Not law in Ireland yet, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the resistance to it here. Elon Musk has weighed in heavily on it and committed to challenging it in court if it becomes law (Twitter’s European HQ is based here so he would have standing). Also, our lunatic commie fringe have been vocal opponents and they’ve captured a lot of media here, and our civil liberties crowd who were conspicuously silent during lockdowns have found their voice in opposing these laws. The government are still trying to railroad them through, but it’s not a done deal yet by any understanding.
Yeah we get them here sometimes, they arrive in UFUs (unidentified flying utes). They claim they’re just Aussies and their UFUs are Quantas planes, but we know better.
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.
That’s a good ol’ cotton picking song. Also inexplicably the unofficial anthem of the England rugby team (rugby union is a very upper class game so I’ve never understood the connection to an American slave song)
