Cead mile failte

I love Ireland because...
Gaeilte (Irish) pronounciation makes the Wookiee language sound pretty articulate.
As a consequence, getting even one word right will bring you flattering compliments from the attendance. So far, I have mastered Nollaig --Christmas-- and the infamous srôn --nose--. (Don't ask).
Stay tuned: probably more groundbreaking progress to come, although not too soon, considering that the simple enunciation of the Irish "Hello" requires the fine control of throat muscles I was not even aware of having.
You live and learn.
