kascheTake the quiz: "Which Random Irish Gaelic Phrase Are You? "
Ta me air meisce
Ta me air meisce - 'I am drunk.'You enjoy a drink - or five - now and then. You can usually be found in a pub - it doesn't matter which one, because they all look the same after a few drinks - or hugging the porcelain.
(And I never got really drunk.)
Now, on more serious topics..
I don't know how many of you know about this. So, this week end there had been the European election (along with the local ones, provincial and/or municipal), no news here.
Well.
On Friday, any Italian who owns a cell phone - as to say, every Italian - receives a text message which says (more or less):
Now, that made me angry.
a) How come that while we seem to have all those problems with the national debt and the like, they are wasting money like this?
b) Now, translating a local saying, also dogs and swines have my phone number. I don't want to hear them talk anymore about "privacy laws".
c) Am I biased, or this is a subtle way to say "go and vote (for me)"? Look at the sign. "Presidency of Ministers' council". "Premiership". Which ACTUALLY IS one of the parties to the case. And NOT super partes, how should be someone who sends a message like this.

(che poi, a pensarci, sarebbe mica una scelta tanto male.. =P)
Ho saputo di un paio di persone che hanno telefonato alle compagnie.. dice che erano obbligati a mandarli tramite un qualche decreto, ma che non hanno divulgato i numeri. Non che faccia poi molta differenza, cmq.
