    My Monday morning started off fantastically! I am in Dublin these days and had had a good chat with the bus driver about tea when I was getting on- he waited while I was getting some in the cafe opposite. So at my stop I jumped off and said 'go raibh míle maith agat' and he said back 'go néirí an bóthar leat' :)

    Small saying but it made my morning!

    I love it when that stuff happens as well,

    I remember I was on the DART once & two full on D4s were sitting near me, talking about D4 things in D4 accents, but as one was leaving, he said "slán". sort of took me by surprise, but still made me smile.:)

    Also today, the chairman of my college said "sin é":cool:

    was out on saturday night getting coffee in some shop on grafton street and the guy ahead of me in the queue started telling the chinese guy behind the counter that english was his second language. hearing the northern accent from him i asked him what was his first. he said irish, so i started to talk to him in irish. left the shop laughing. not often you get to speak irish at 4am on a saturday night!!
