Again, that’s exactly what I thought, although I translated as ‘grind you down’. I say translated, I’ve no knowledge of Latin, but a friend of mine used to quote a similar phrase many years ago. Thanks for watching, and sharing your Latin knowledge with us.
I recall chancing upon a number of women drinking in the lounge a few years back. I was told in no uncertain terms that they were not in the mood for male company and would I leave. It was all done in such a jovial way that I agreed. As the drinking gathered pace they would join me individually for a chat whenever one of them needed a break from the raucous clamour of the group. It turned out that they were having a hen party. All were nurses and all were back on holidays from the Far East. Not only that but they all belonged to a Gaelic Football Club on the other side of the world. I laughed till I cried at their shenanigans. What a great bunch of Irishwomen to have as our Ambassadors.
That was great! My heart turned over looking at all the calm happy people living a good life . In the 50's , the Irish Government offered the general public the opportunity to own a pub licence, for free!!! That's apparently why in the South, there are so many wee pubs ! Pubs with shop's, shop's with pubs, living rooms with bar's, bar's with living rooms ( going a bit far here, but you get the idea)! The Teachers at the Glen Road CBS Secondary school tried to get the Gaelic into my thick head but failed. I even went to the Gaeltacht in Donegal! But just managed to say Slan!
Almost as good as being there. Ok to be honest it's not but you're quite good at this and your format and production is spot on. By the way your accent is almost exactly the same as Stephen Rea's and your voice itself quite similar. Thanks and keep it coming!
Yes, that’s what I though, but my Irish is elementary to say the least, so I thought it best to hold off and let someone more knowledgable chip in. Especially since you’re all such great Irish speakers in the west. Don’t wanna get corrected. Thanks for that.
The amount of people drinking Guinness brilliant, eyes fixed on the tv , basketball omg must be the only one , great video again
Yes, basketball was a surprise to me! Thanks for watching.
The Latin is "Don't let the bastards wear you down". Thanks for this very quaint pub.

@@nakedireland Probably directed at we English...and very much deserved I may add!! I'd love to go to Ballina, I hear it's delicious!
It is indeed delicious Mark, thanks for watching. Ballina is waiting for you.

What a great story, sounds like a hilarious night out.
They were 4 women drinking together in a snug you call
"Ambassadors for Ireland".?
Can I change my passport please.
@@Kitiwakein fairness, I think women are allowed a drink in a bar!
Man hating GAA women. Avoid

As with any language, you have to use it regularly. That’s interesting about the pub licences.
Great video I love this type of video capturing the essence of a country pub/ brilliant keep them coming 👍🇮🇪
Many thanks Paul. Appreciate that.
Nice video, cheers.
Many thanks for watching.
You in a pub! whatever next! 😅😅 A nice pub, not too busy when you went. I am not a pub goer but that might tempt me, but only if your buying 😂😂
If we ever meet Rob, the pints are on me.
@@nakedireland I will hold you to that 😁
I’m on standby! 😂

Thanks so much, really appreciate the feedback.
The phrase on the bar translates roughly as, “it’s a bad hen who s**ts on their own eggs!”
Don’t know any Latin, alas.

They're like what they were always like.
Places to take your money.
They definitely take your money. Like everything else these days.
