When it's served at Long John Silvers! I just saw an ad for LJS' new "Buttered Lobster Bites," basically a carton of popcorn-chicken-like-crustacean-parts for $2.99. Careful listeners may have paused when they heard that the lobster was "real langostino lobster." Huh? Now I know my lobster. In fact…
Back in 2009, the Colorado Family Planning Initiative started providing free IUDs and other contraceptive implants to low-income women getting care at state Title X family planning clinics. As I described previously, funds from an anonymous foundation supported the purchase of the devices, as well…
Fortune has put out its list of the top 100 companies to work for. The Google Monster is number one. Washington state does pretty good, as it is in a tie for fourth in the total number of companies on the list with headquarters in the state. (Per capita it comes in third, losing to Delaware and…
This just isn't right. The United Kingdom is this small little country way off in Europe, and the United States is this giant powerful country, and they managed to put creationists in their place while we debate about electing them to the presidency. It makes no sense. Leading scientists and…

Voice Over: 'Boxing Tonight' comes from the Empire Pool, Wembley and features the main heavyweight bout between Jack Bodell, British and Empire Heavyweight Champion. (cheers; shot of Bodell in his corner with two seconds) and Sir Kenneth Clark ...

Shot of Clark's corner; he is in a dressing-gown with 'Sir Kenneth Clark' on the back; both take off their dressing-gowns as referee calls them together; Sir Kenneth is wearing a tweed suit underneath)

Voice Over: It's the first time these two have met so there should be some real action tonight...

The bell goes. Crowd noise. Sir Kenneth wanders around as in 'Civilization'.

Sir Kenneth: This then is the height of the English Renaissance, the triumph of Classical over Gothic ... the ...

Bodell swings a left and knocks Sir Kenneth down.

Voice Over: He's down! Sir Kenneth Clark is down in eight seconds. But he's up again. He's up at six...

Sir Kenneth: The almost ordered facades of Palladio's villas reflects the...

Boddell knocks him down again.

Voice Over: And he's down again, and I don't think he's going to get up this time. (referee counts Sir Kenneth Clark out and holds up Bodell's hand) No, Jack Bodell has defeated Sir Kenneth Clark in the very first round here tonight and so this big Lincolnshire heavyweight becomes the new Oxford Professor of Fine Art.

An raibh tusa ag féachaint ar "Bosco" nuair a bhà tú óg? Bhà Dara O' Briain an-ghreannmhar nuair a bhà sé ag caint faoi "Bosco" ar an "Panel"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xlo_IU2gcI

Rinne Dara Ã'Briain Mata nuair a bhà se ag freastal an t-ollscoil "UCD", chreid é no ná chreid! Agus bhà an "Rose of Tralee", Aoibhinn Nà Shúilleabháin, ag dhearna Mata sa "UCD" freisin! Deir an rud sin le na daoine as na Stáit Aontaithe agus nà bheadh siad é a chreidiúnt!

"Ag staidear Mata", tá brón orm :(

Oh, um, er, ahh ... pogue mahoney?
You Irish have different word for everything!

Come to think of it, it should be "Inis an rud sin do na daoine as na Stáit Aontaithe..." as well.

Oy, it's been a while...

Is é sin an nios mo Gaeilge a chula me i fiche blian!

yes, it's been a long time. (so apologies for the bastardization)

And as for Bosco .... !!
