The intro to OMD - Enola Gay is such a god damn killer keyboard piece, but the rest of the song sucks balls in comparison

It's a bit up its own hole alright, but I love the keyboard chorus.

The pronunciation of "Chorizo "

Reminds me of people who speak alittle Spanish and insist on using Spanish pronunciation off things even when speaking in English, like calling Seville "Seviya". People with French or German never do this.

I had a girlfriend years ago, Irish girl, who did this. The funniest was she kept referring to the music festival in Barcelona, Sonar, as SonAAArrr. When she said it to aa Spanish guy once and he said "huh? Oh Sonar!" exactly as it's normally pronounced I actually cackled in her face.

I can understand if the word is Spanish though.

I hate when people randomly insert other language words like "craic" or !Paris" (with French pronounciation)

The Irish language option on ATM machines, what the actual fcuk

I've never used that option and I don't know anyone else that's ever selected that option. Why do we still have this sh(t? In this day and age any Irish person old enough to use a cash point and who can't speak English must have grown up in a cave. Can't we just leave all this Gaeilge bullsh(t where it belongs, in the Gaelteacht?

I like that things are as gaeilge still. If I ever have kids they'll be going to a gaelscoil.

Yeah but with something like chorizo,for example,you don't need to use aSpanish pronunciation,it's perfectly conventional to anglicise it because the word and the food are very common here and that's our word for it. French speakers don't refer to Paree in English because it's normal to use the Anglicised Parisss. The Hungarian for goulash is guylás, pronounced gooeyash, but there's an English word for it so it isn't necessary,it's just a way of people letting you know they speak Spanish and are therefore wonderful. You'll note that I just did the same thing with Hungarian. Or magyar, as we call it in Magyarország.

From your past posts on kids on this thread, I would recommend not having them

It's a different story when someone else is ramming your child with a shopping trolley while wearing €20 lipstick :pac:

My son is learning Irish in school now, and picking it up real easy. In a few years if he continues at this rate he will be tri-lingual.

Don't worry BoomBap, I have no plans on having kids, if it happens it'll be because it was a tremendous mistake. And just for the record I don't bash kids, they run riot around supermarkets unsupervised, and I go to a supermarket to shop not to play on an obstacle course.

My point about "Paris" was Irish people saying "paree" when they are speaking English. I'd expect anyone when speaking English to say "paris" and anoyone speaking French to say "paree". Or have we crossed wires?

They are not called mistakes, 'accidents' is the prefered term

Yeah sounds like we agree with each other, if I was speaking Spanish it would be ignorant to pronounce things in the English way.

I wasn't really taking issue with the original chorizo post.

Because there are about 6 people in Ireland who want it that way.

Mr. CooL ICE · 19-11-2014 04:13PM

I consulted the chorizo thing with two friends before; an Irish girl that teaches Spanish, and an Argentinian guy. Both said it's either 'eezo' or 'eeso', depending on the dialect.

It sure as hell ain't 'eetso' though. It's not bratwurst ffs

'Kin right. You heard about the Asian fella who was promoted to a job in supplies, and wasn't heard of for two months?

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 19-11-2014 04:20PM

Swings and roundabouts? I don't think accident would do it justice for either me or a child. A mistake of catastrophic proportions. I can't mind myself.

Disgusting pigs who spit on the footpath. I've been feeling really weird the past few weeks, not sick but not like my normal self. On my way back from lunch this big greasy unkempt miscreant stood out in front of me and hacked right onto the footpath. I have no idea why, but of course I had to look at it and it was massive. I felt sick right there but managed to get back to work before hoofing. What a waste of a burrito

I did! My lovely buritto that I got extra guacamole on and all! Because he hacked right in front of me. I don't understand why people do that though seriously.
