A whole section of bridge at Malahide estuary fell over just moments after the train passed over it in Dublin. That's my train. Now I can't get to and from work. Oh that's right. I've no job. Anyway glad a catastrophe was avoided. It is highly probable people I know would've been on that train.

Why I am not inspired with confidence?A spokesperson for Iarnród Éireann said that the section of the bridge that collapsed underwent a structural examination this week.
The inspection was carried out on the line by an engineer on Tuesday and no issues were identified.

"Clodagh" is pronounced "Kloda". Think "Skoda".

I'll try my worst, but don't hold your breath - I need to find something to do it first. I don't recall the Klingons ever wearing glasses, but there's always a first time.Dasein wrote:edit....

Re: The End Is Nigh.
I got the 'kloda' part but shouldn't there be a sound at the end as if you are about to either hurl or cough up a huge chunk of phlegm? ;-) or is that Hebrew...klr wrote:"Clodagh" is pronounced "Kloda". Think "Skoda".
and, I'm sure Klingons kill off any of their kind that have such a physical weakness as needing glasses!

Re: The End Is Nigh.
Oh there's plenty of that (and worse) in Irish, but this isn't a problem. "gh" at the end of a word is silent.Dasein wrote:I got the 'kloda' part but shouldn't there be a sound at the end as if you are about to either hurl or cough up a huge chunk of phlegm? ;-) or is that Hebrew...klr wrote:"Clodagh" is pronounced "Kloda".

My Irish teacher would be having a facepalm moment right now.
That had occurred to me as well. I'm sure they were based on the Spartans. But I shall persevere nonetheless.Dasein wrote: and, I'm sure Klingons kill off any of their kind that have such a physical weakness as needing glasses!
