              Irish English confuses me. They seem to avail of everything. It makes no sense.

                    I was chatting with an Irish friend of mine just the other day, and he was saying how difficult Irish names are for foreigners to pronounce.

                    "Oh really?" I said.

                    "There you go, see," he said.
