chess in south east asia, a locked report by the indubitable ducking duck

Or this? 

That was a good movie, BTW 

"Something the Lord made" (2004)

Haven't seen that

Could have been the chess.com trophies that got flagged.  Those specesists !

Next meet up should be closer to you folks,  in Somalia

Well Russian cats do look different from Irish kittehs. 

a blessed isle is the home of the Irish

Seinn an duan seo dhan Innis Àigh, An innis uaine as gile tràigh; Bidh sian air uairean a' bagairt cruaidh ris Ach 's e mo luaidh-sa bhith ann a' tàmh.   Càit' as tràith' an tig samhradh caomh Càit' as tràith' an tig blàth air craoibh Càit' as bòidhche an seinn an smeòrach Air bhàrr nan ògan? 'S an Innis Àigh! Tiugainn leam-sa chun na tràigh 'S an fheasgar chìuin-ghil aig àm an làin, 'S chì thu 'm bòidhchead 's an liuthad seòrsa De dh'eòin tha còmhnaidh 's an Innis Àigh.   An t-iasg as fiachaile dlùth don tràigh Is ann m'a chrìochan is miann leis tàmh; Bidh gillean èasgaidh le dorgh is lìontan Moch, moch ga iarraidh mun Innis Àigh. O 's geàrr an ùine gu 'n teirig là; Thig an oidhche 's gun iarr mi tàmh. Mo chadal buan-sa bidh e cho suaimhneach Ma bhios mo chluasag 's an Innis Àigh. 

Sing this song to the Happy Island, The green isle with the whitest beach; Storms sometimes attack it severely, But I love to live there.   Where does gentle summer arrive earlier Where does blossom appear on trees earlier Where does the thrush sing more beautifully On the young branches? In the Happy Island. Come with me to the beach On a calm evening at high tide, And you will see the beauty and many species Of birds that live in the Happy Island. The most valuable fish close to shore Prefers to live near your boundaries; Active lads with handlines and nets Fish very early around the Happy Island. Oh, the time is short till the day ends; Night will come and I will seek rest; My eternal slumber will be so tranquil If my pillow is in the Happy Island

sometimes you don't need words to listen to celtic voices , but I hope this inspires you to look more into the richness that is celtic culture

Before I realized you'd translated it under the video, I whacked it into Google Translate...

Last 2 paras:-

Active young men with thorns and Moch nets will be early in search of Iceland. O short time is approaching for a day; I will come at night to ask. My ever lasting sleep will be so peaceful If my pillow is in Iceland.

cheers Toire , and a slightly different slant too , as Iceland is norse land , another rich culture , I tend to use im translate , itd be interesting to see what they translate it to brb

Working with men with the nets and nets of Moch, Muck would be needed about Inchnadamph. O the time lasted for ten days; Night comes and I shall rest for my rest. My love will be as happy as me. If my pillow and Inch Àigh will be.

Don't they use Google?

to me it looks as if modern translation tools via the net do not get it right all the time but both google and im translate , do get the gist of it so ive no problem with that

unsure I would hazard a guess that they don't need to as gaelic is their mother tongue

Agreed, they'll often miss the subtleties, which is understandable.

but its now time for autobunny to say enough of this wisedom I want my insanity back

i apologize for not making the meet. the forecast had shown a 74% chance of the current allowing me to float there. alas, the super typhoon affected more than just japan.

but you could have fixed that with just a sharpie!

if only i could do anything with photoshopping i could show a path with sharpie added!

lol al , and you was only popping out to get a pint of milk too , but ended wandering the 7 seas
