That was cool, Al! I liked the little flash of Tom in there.

If you haven't watched the series, there be spoilers. If you haven't watched it, you should. It's the best thing on TV. Or was. I miss it.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
I have known a sarcastic fringehead or two.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
Reminds me of some of the meetings I've attended.
How do they know the fish are being sarcastic?
And did you see how it was fin-walking?
P.S.: Oh hey look, I learned something:
sarcasm - mid 16th century: from French sarcasme, or via late Latin from late Greek sarkasmos, from Greek sarkazein ‘tear flesh,’ in late Greek ‘gnash the teeth, speak bitterly’ (from sarx, sark- ‘flesh’).
Nice fishie

I'm chuffed to say I actually knew some of those (about 4!!) but then I was at school with a girl called Siobhán!
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
Was there a separate alphabet at some point?
I knew a woman who was quite upset that people kept asking her how her daughter's name was pronounced. Because Cèilidh is totally self-explanatory (I guess that's more Scottish?). Like, why is the dh even there?
I keep telling Rodia that Polish should buy some consonants. They insist on using Latin script, but it takes four Latin letters to spell a sound that is one letter in Cyrillic.

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
I'm afraid I highly doubt we Brits would do much better than our cousins across The Pond on that particular quiz...You'd be disappointed at how little Gaelic culture we do actually assimilate over here. Unless it's a well-known actor's name, of course, and even then most of us would struggle to actually spell the name correctly!Alatar wrote:Well you live next door!

From recollection, there were only 22 letters in the Irish alphabet. There was no Q, X, Z anyway... can't remember the 4th letter. Pronunciations vary wildy even in Irish dialects. For example, in the video above I would pronounce Caoimhe as Kwee-va, not Kee-va. In Donegal, Mairéadh is pronounced Mar-eth (with a soft th), down here in the south its Mar-aid. Of course, like most languages, once you know the rules the pronunciations make sense.
Then of course you have well known people who change the spelling of their names to match how they're pronounce. Moya Doherty from Clannad, for example is just the Donegal pronunciation of Máire. Enya is the Donegal pronunciation of Eithne. Neve Campbell the actress would have been Niamh if born in Ireland.

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
Something I think is interesting about these names is that the sound alone is lovely, even if the spelling isn't real.
And, Frelga—the only four-consonant single letter I remember in Russian is shch. But it was long ago, and I am old. And it's almost certainly entirely different in Polish.

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
My brother's children all have Irish names, in honour of the Irish side of our ancestry.
My sister-in-law was surprised when she recently found out Shannon can be either a girl's name or a boy's name. And Ryan can be spelled Rian!
Would that be a proper Irish spelling, or just someone wanting their child's name to be 'different'? (Pet peeve of mine...
)
Oh, their third child is named Tara!

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Re: Gosh, no you tube thread?
Rian isn't pronounced the same as Ryan. Rian is pronounced like Cian, Niamh or Liam. Ree-an. I've never heard Shannon used as a guys name, but then its not generally used as a girls name here either. It seems to be mostly Americans who use that name for their kids.
