An bhfacha tú an bacach, nó an bhfacha tú a mhac? Ní fhaca mé an bacach is ní fhacha mé a mhac, ach dá bhfeicfinnse an bacach nó dá bhfeicfinnse a mhac, ní bhacfainn leis an bacach is ní bhacfainn lena mhac!
Did you see the oaf or did you see his son? I didn't see the oaf nor did I see his son, but if I should see the oaf or should I see his son, I'd ignore the oaf and I'd ignore his son!

Cha robh laogh ruadh riamh luath, is cha robh laogh luath riamh reamhar.
A red calf was never fast, and a fast calf was never fat.

My opinion is that the scottish gaelic doesn't appear to show any obvious grammatical pattern or even a development of individual aspects, the irish Gaelic (which follows in my next blog) shows an obvious trend toward syntaxial order and designation. Have fun though, reading or trying to read both gaelics,,,, how did you do with the longest village name? it is welsh.

this one is a rather shorter piece of information, nevertheless, very important

The most common types of eye injury involve the cornea — the clear, protective "window" at the front of your eye. Contact with dust, dirt, sand, wood shavings, metal particles or even an edge of a piece of paper can scratch or cut the cornea. Usually the scratch is superficial, and this is called a corneal abrasion. Some corneal abrasions become infected and result in a corneal ulcer, which is a serious problem. Corneal abrasions caused by plant matter (such as a pine needle) can cause a delayed inflammation inside the eye (iritis).
Corneal abrasions can be painful. If your cornea is scratched, you might feel like you have sand in your eye. Tears, blurred vision, increased sensitivity or redness around the eye can suggest a corneal abrasion. You may get a headache.
In case of corneal abrasion, seek prompt medical attention. Other immediate steps you can take for a corneal abrasion are to:
· Rinse your eye with clean water (use a saline solution, if available). You can use an eyecup or small, clean drinking glass positioned with its rim resting on the bone at the base of your eye socket. If your work site has an eye-rinse station, use it. Rinsing the eye may wash out a foreign object.
· Blink several times. This movement may remove small particles of dust or sand.
· Pull the upper eyelid over the lower eyelid. The lashes of your lower eyelid can brush a foreign object from the undersurface of your upper eyelid.
Take caution to avoid certain actions that may aggravate the injury:
· Don't try to remove an object that's embedded in your eyeball. Also avoid trying to remove a large object that makes closing the eye difficult.
· Don't rub your eye after an injury. Touching or pressing on your eye can worsen a corneal abrasion.
· Don't touch your eyeball with cotton swabs, tweezers or other instruments. This can aggravate a corneal abrasion.

and one last thing, do not stare into the cam when your favourite female chatter is showing you her tits, this causes straining of the retina, but i just suppose if they are big tits, you dont have to strain yourself,,,sit back and enjoy,,
