    Posted by Harry Cleary on 18 August 2006 at 12:50

    Hi,
    Wonder if some one could point me in the right direction. Somebody posted Celtic fonts a while back and for the life of me I cant find them, anyone remember?
    Thanks

    Go mbeidh tú in neamh leathuair sula bhfuil fhios ag an diabhal go bhfuil tú marbh.

    Very roughly translated:- Mines a pint of stout while your at the bar… not really. May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows your dead.

    Hi Brian,
    I always thought it was taken from the Book of Kells, and was altered and named by an American typographer. Lets start a campaign to get it back, ‘Give Uncial back to the Celts!!!’ or else we’ll invade, have you Scots much room for prisoners???? 😀 😀 😀 😀

    Shane, it’s my favorite Irish saying, ‘May the road rise to meet you’!

    :lol1: thanks for that Harry. Pleased you explained that.

    I thought it was an irish form of one of our aussies sayings like ‘didyahavagoodweekendthenmate?’ or ‘goodonyacobberyagotanuvavb?’

    ‘may the road rise to meet you’ is that a drinking term? My grandad used to claim the road was always rising up and meet him, especially when he was drunk…. 😮

    My favourite phrase is "if you can’t do it in a ford ute, its not worth doing’ . I guess it is similar then? :lol1: Can’t often work it into a normal conversation tho 😳

    Cheers

    It means ‘may your journey be an easy one and that if the road rises to meet you, your effort is eased.
    But taking a ‘dickey dive’ on the way from the pub is good too!!
    We call that ‘having both sides of the road with you.’

    i like that harry ……its the kind of thing that happens after these long walks back from the pub….along country roads …..ahh ive ended up in many a ditch 😀 😀 :D….yep these scots/irish/welsh gaelic terms are so much better to say to your waiting loved one….(or in some extreme cases your wife 😀 ) than "i fell on my arse dear "
