You should know better, Éire.

How do you add the fada?

How do you add the fada?

Shift, E and Alt Gr at the same time, that'll give you the capital É.

There are a hell of a lot of old buggers on this forum!

I cannot be the only one who had to Google that?


The Síneadh Fada. Irish Gaelic only has one diacritic mark: the síneadh fada (SHEEN-oo FAH-duh), or “long accent.” It’s also known in linguistic circles as an “acute accent.” Most Irish speakers and learners simply refer to it as a “fada.”. The fada is a right-slanting line placed over a vowel (as in the í in síneadh, above)

I think you would be given the point in a pub quiz.

Get a lab or a sprocket spaniel

If you choose to use Eire rather than Ireland; at least use the fadda Éire!

Sur votre bycyclette. (Can't find the circumflex accent either).

Quite the linguist, English, French and almost Irish.

I managed to get a part trained lab from a friend he is a family pet/nuisance ,gun dog albeit he isn't a rock steady peg dog but he will retrieve as well as anything out there from snipe to geese.I have introduced him to deer stalking fetching him with me each time and he had taken to that like a duck to water without any training.The kids have taken him beating he just takes everything in his stride be I possibly wasted on me and a decent dog trainer would of made him an even better dog.But tbh I don't care he is my mate and I'm his and that's all that matters choose a decent bred one and enjoy the journey.

Caveat.

They will take your heart and when they go, break your heart. Really, really break it.

Am in same position and agree. My ex of 10 years had a border collie which l thought the world of hacing known the pup for ages. Heart broken when she went, but got over it and binned lass. Not sure if want lab or a teckle

Agreed, I trained a pup for my then wife, we lost it at 2 years old with eclampsia, she was gutted and quite inconsolable for a while. Luckily we were able to rear her 3 one week old pups. We kept two of them, both tracked deer and both worked fox below ground, they also wrestled with the grandkids and were as soft and daft in the house.
