1. Any Irish folks about at the moment? (As in living in Ireland, not descended from) I have a meeting later with a woman whose name is Róisín and I need to not mangle the pronounciation. Anyone want to give me a clue?
  2. Ro-sheen
  3. Sorry if it's late though, just woke up lol


  4. same goes for me I'll never learn. glad I know how to pronounce "Dún Laoghaire" and "Taoiseach" by now... and an Irish friend who I met in Munich taught me how to say "Baile Átha Cliath" (Dublin) the right way. That's all I can say correct
  5. just random, had a snow storm hitting us here since yesterday morning. it snowed all day and all through the night. the whole county I live in (North-Rhine Westfalia, west area of Germany) has drowned in chaos. the highways are still stuck on more than 200km as cars and trucks can't drive on in that snow and ice. standstill all over. I live out in the countryside and we got some 45 cm (~18 inches) of fresh snow. no chance I can leave the house today, roads are closed all around here. madness.

    Wow, we grind to a halt the moment a snowflake hits the ground. Snowed here yesterday but didn't stick because the ground was wet. Now that'sa dry and primed for sticking - the sun comes out.
  7. It seems there are not as much snow here as there was a few weeks ago. I'm on holiday in a few hours (at 1 p.m, after a law exam ), and hopefully I'll be able to do the Toulouse-Lyon route without any problem.

    I think it's coming our way


  9. I have a horrible feeling that might be how she pronounces it, despite being Really Wrong.

    Oh Australia...
