Was just watching the tennis on the BBC and I had the closed captioning on. So, when the commentator was disappointed at a ball that was missed by Andy Murray, his clipped, received English was translated by the computer to: “Eh deer”.
Thought it was funny.

The ESRI said this morning that we are in recession and that the country will once again experience the multiple scourges of the 1980s and the early 1990s. These, for those of you too young to remember them first-hand, are rising unemployment, emigration, stagflation (stagnant economy combined with inflation) and widespread loss-of-optimism.
On the day I […]
It has been announced this morning that a Dubliner can make a cup of coffee.
Stephen Morrissey from skerries has just become the World Barista champion.
This is like some kind of ironic take on Father Ted’s housekeeper.
One of our countryfolk has finally become so good at making a brew that some sarcastic people have made him […]
