Curry my yoghurt!

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-29886175
Sinn Féin Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín has accused the DUP's Gregory Campbell of "pure ignorance" in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The clash came during a debate on the Irish language and Ulster Scots.
When invited to speak by principal deputy speaker Mitchel McLaughlin, Mr Campbell replied: "Curry my yoghurt can coca coalyer".
In Irish, the phrase "go raibh maith agat, Ceann Comhairle" means "thank you, speaker".
Mr Campbell then asked the minister about a minority languages strategy.

Do you have a favourite mus-pronunciation of an Irish phrase (or any other language).

I always used to like Mercy Buckets for merci beaucoup!

Campbell's always been a particularly petty and bitter man.

Folks like himself, Willie Frazer, Jim Allister & Cedric Wilson simply don't deserve the attention afforded them tbh.

Gregory Campbell DUP: Bigot, fascist, hypocrite.

As funny as a fire in a children's home.

The Backwards Man

Be better to just carry on and ignore him, all he wants is an argument to make himself relevant. His recent tirades have been against the likes of The Simpsons, the musical preferences of EPL footballers and the Italian dictionary, he's nothing more than an attention seeker.

Says more about Campbell than it does about anyone else.

He has only proven himself to be yet another in a long line of dickhead politicians from all sides of the divide that continually let the people of Northern Ireland down.

What he said is not something to be offended or outraged over.

Just feel sorry for the poor fucking eejit if thats the level he stoops to get a few cheap laughs.

If the debate was on the Indian language for example and Campbell stood up and mocked, he'd be slammed for being xenophobic. The man is nothing other than a bigoted dinosaur and it saddens me that this happened in parliament, in front of elected representatives! His mates sneering behind him is disgusting.

What a hugely ignorant and stupid person.

Hardly worth even responding to really other than to say that it really just shows the DUP to be a caricature of themselves and the fact that they're still dwelling somewhere in the early 19th century.

The rest of the world's moved on.

Maybe he was trying to say it in Ulster Scots, ya know, that real, totally not made up language some knuckle draggers are clinging too as a sign they have culture.

The problem is that he's not just on his own in thinking the way he does. There's many bigots who vote for him and his like.

Ulster Scots is a made up language so that the prods can get funding like the nationalists.

pure & simple.

Northern Ireland is NOT bilingual like the rest of Ireland.

In the Dail you can expect to hear Irish spoken and that is good and right.

the UK does NOT have a bilingual policy (other than Wales) so there should be no place for Irish, Ulster Scots, Mandarin, Polish or Africaans, or any language other than English.

What yer man did was typical of the infantile behaviour of BOTH SIDES of the political system up here.

Last week my Mrs was talking to a guy who was governor of a state (ie not Catholic) primary school.

when Caitríona Ruane was in charge of education, they had a meeting with her about her plans to cut funding.

she would only speak Irish.

I don't know how long the meeting was scheduled to run, but the school folks walked out because she was refusing to speak a language that anyone else in the room understood.

Completely unacceptable childish behaviour is the NORM for our politicians.

on both sides

I once heard an Irish word, or possibly phrase, on the radio that sounded like "cunt-a-shocked"

I asked the wife, as she is Irish, but she thought I was talking nonsense. And, to be fair, I can see where she might get that idea.

Any ideas?

SpaceTime

While I think it's a load of infantile, 19th century nonsense, I have to say that natural yogurt on a curry is absolutely delicious and must be tried!

To make amends, I think he should be required to make take the whole assembly out for a curry!

that is absolutely hilarious, it genuinely sounds like something from the Muppets.

Look: if it keeps them happy and from squabbling and throwing things at each other, leave them at it!

Thought that the first line of Amhrán na bhFiann was - "Shiny bacon foil" (Sinne Fianna Fáil) when we were learning it at primary school

"Ders a moos' loos' aroon the hoos "

translates as

"there's a moose loose around the house". Apparently.

It's the way I talk. or should I say, spake.

It's a dialect though, not a language.

I was expecting this to be a food thread, I am sadly disappointed

But off topic, I love yogurt with my Indian curry!

Can someone explain this to me. Is curry my yoghurt supposed to sound like go rabh mait agath?

Herb Powell

Flegory and the rest of them need to disappear, soon. No place for that kind of bolllocks. For all the complaining we do about the Dáil, does it ever get as bad as it often gets up north?

Say them both in a strong nordie accent.

I think it's pretty funny. Anything that pisses off gaelgeoirs is funny in my book.

If he is not willing to engage and work with his fellow elected members of Stormfront up the North he should resign.People have to respect his Orange marches so he can let people speak the Irish language after all they are Irish and are only saying hello!!.Live and let live.Dinosaurs like him will someday be a distant memory if the majority up there get their way.

Respect them by trying to get them banned?
This kind of stuff is all they have left, let them have it to wallow in.

In this context he was out of line. Still a lot of divided communities up North today and comments like this don't help.
