A Quote for Patrick's Site |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (04/01-2003) |
| Patrick, here's part of something I wrote many years ago. It seems particularly suitable to the present times. Oh, if you don't know by now, I'll tell you straight out, I do so love to write, to stir the emotion, the thoughts and actions of people. In any case... "The hours have gone, there are only minutes left, and the seconds are ticking away." Use it if you wish. Brian |
Taig |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (04/01-2003) |
| Throughout history, and in nearly all battles (even the ones in the school yard), there are always those who are not confident of their abilities, and/or the assurance of a final outcome that may be in their favor. At that time, they may resort to name-calling. Then, if they endeavour to sound informed, they site specific acts at one time or another, rather than getting right to the root of the issue. We need to discuss and treat the sickness, not the symptoms. Anyway... here's what I've got for you: Source: The Collins English Dictionary © 1998 HarperCollins Publishers taig [teg] n. Ulster dialect, often derogatory. a Roman Catholic. [variant of the Irish name Tadhg, originally signifying any Irishman] |

| As always, another great one. Thank you. I keep seeing the term "taig" written. I know its a derrogatory term for the Irish, but is it short for something? |

| Brian, (or whoever) I have all 32 counties in Ireland, Would you name me the 12 that make up "Northern Ireland"? Just to let you know.... I am working on a petiton that will have as many people as I can "E-SIGN" it to help rally people together for a country wide vote. There are roughly 4-1/2 million people in Ireland? There are 50 million+ Irish/americans here in the states. Even Brittain cant ignore these numbers. Brittain has had (or tried to have) her reign for long enough. Maybe they could try and conquer Iraq. I here THEY give up pretty easy. Nar lige Dia! ha ha Patrick |
Good Points, Bad Points |
| Written by Stephen. (04/01-2003) |
| I'm looking over just this page, mainly from "conflict" on, and there are a few good points made. Only one of them, however, was made by Mr. Lockwood. While most of his ramblings seemed to me to be overshadowed by a haze of being a narrow-minded opinion based solely on 3rd grade intellegence, he did say something about UNITY. Personally, I think he could have spared us all the rest of what was written, but hey... he's entitled to an opinion. The real good stuff is in the responses by Galway, and my man Patrick (whose new site is really starting to rock). The Brits need to piss off. Plain and simple. Get out. Go Away. Remove themselves from places they don't now, nor ever did, belong. Then, and only then, can Ireland focus on Ireland. I mean fully focus. Bottom line is, in my opinion: It don't help to wipe your bum if you haven't pooped yet. Poop first, then wipe your bum. |
More, Patrick |

| Take a good look at some of those links. This is serious shit. Life and death, literally. More than a song, more than a feeling, more than the hoorah of it all. People are dying for their personal freedom, their country, and yes their religion. When you built your contractor site, you identified your intended audience. You then matched your offerings to their needs. Finally, you created an easily navigable site that clearly demonstrated to the viewer that your service could provide for their needs. Good luck again, Pat. You've for a pure heart, and a good head. The Irish are the world's natural Poets, Leaders and Warriors. You'll have to be all three on your site! Brian |
New Site |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (04/01-2003) |
| Patrick... Good luck on this great site. Remember, you don't have to build the site, geared for "us" (the already existing followers). Truth is, we'll all love it, but you'll be preaching to the choir. The mission is to educate the uneducated. |

Great Quote |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (03/01-2003) |
| This one is from Bobby Sands..... "If they aren't able to destroy the desire for freedom, they won't break you. They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish People, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. "It is then we'll see the rising of the moon." Brian |
