common phrases one might hear - festivals?

[creagdhubh]

I forgot to tell you. My Daughter is friends with a Macpherson. They live in the Broomfield, CO area if I'm not mistaken. I think their family will be attending some of the festivals with us this year. Shoot me a PM if you travel this way for any of them.

Wonderful! I will!

Cheers,

Actually, bathroom, as in the toilet, is Taigh Beg. The "small house".

That's what it says above, mate. And I should reiterate, the phrases above are in Scottish Gaelic, not Irish. There's considerably differences in spelling, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.

Slainte,

I saw that, I was replying to someone else's post. I guess I didn't hit the quote button.

I'm usually somewhere around the MacKay tent. If the Athol Brose is there/out, I have arrived. I'm the only one that makes it for our tent... I'll look for you.

I actually hear a few, we have some members that are from across the pond.

Then we've met before at one of the games. I'm usually the only one there for our clan.

this one is always handy

I love it.

I'm reminded of a fabulously funny column by Randy Wayne White, discussing the deficiencies in most South American "tourist phrase books." He recommended an alternative set of phrases which escalated to the exclamation "Mother of God! Pigs!"

But a hovercraft full of eels trumps porcine adventures any day. . .
