Something about the ball.

Some sort of fatwa.

It's subliminal manipulation. They're brainwashing us. Don't look into their eyes.
Either that or just mumbling some illogical gobbelty gook.

It's actually a Scottish song, not Irish, so close to it but you won't get the direct translation I'd say

It's hard to read the name "eir" in their ads. It's way too squiggly.

The blacksmith said, "I'll wait"

The blacksmith said, in his confusion
Standing at the door of the barn
That he was going to go courting

I'd knock spots off the birds
I'd knock spots off the hakes
Little lythes of the sea
We would take a while hauling them in
If our hand lines last

you cant polish a turd, you cant polish a turd, you cant polish a turd, eircom is still ****e

I have come up with a conspiracy theory. Eircom have changed their name to eir to cover up their ****eness.

Have you noticed they've stopped saying "we used to be Eircom" in their ads?
