Posters with Irish sayings at school

simu

Anyone remember these: (We had them up on the walls at primary school in the 80s)

"Marbh ag tae agus marbh gan é"(Dead from tea, dead without it) - with a picture of a dog in a policeman's uniform drinking tea by a metal barrel full of burning coals at night time.

"Aithníonn ciaróg amháin ciaróg eile"(A beetle recognises another) - with a picture of two "female" beetles greeting each other as they walk past each other in the street.

"Ní hé lá na báistí lá na bpáistí"(A rainy day isn't a children's day): a picture of kids inside a house looking out through the window at ducks playing outside in a puddle in the rain.

"Nuair a bhíonn an cat amuigh bíonn an luch ag rince"(When the cat is outside, the mouse plays) - a picture of a mouse walzing? (if I remember correctly).

I think we had a "Níl an tinteann mar do thinteann féin" - (there's no fireplace like your fireplace?)


obviously any plan to teach irish through the medium of posters failed miserably with me.
