"Yiz are all very quiet down the back, down the back......!"

You possibly need to have gone on school tours on a bus in Ireland to be able to put the tune to that chant! Anyway, it is possible that you are all on holiday or that the internet is down all over the world, but yiz have all gone very quiet!

If anyone has an idea for a game or interesting thread, go for it. Remember we welcome all levels of Irish so basic questions and comments right up to the high-brow stuff are welcome. Perhaps you would just like to have a chat about something through Irish eg. football, something on the news, a film you have seen. It doesn't always have to be about tattoos and grammar! :mrgreen:

"Yiz are all a shower of bla'guards up the front, UP THE FRONT." :lah:

Sorry, it's an automatic response, I have no control over it.

You are correct, but I am guessing it might be "And we're all off to Dublin in the green, in the green". :?:

It's to the tune of "She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes" A.K.A. "You should never throw your granny off the bus."
