Is deacair/ ní féidir an dubh a chur ina bhán air- Guinness ads :LOL:

Its hard/ you can't put the black on the white- i.e you can't make the white guinness head turn black

Tá an deargádh ort (the red luck is on you) (for some reason I can find only "an t-ádh dearg" in FGB), but I know deargádh does exist too.
Just heard 'an t-ádh dearg' ar Ros na Rún and it reminded me of this thread. 8-)

We had the pingin rua, but I don't think the 'bonn bán' was mentioned. Found this entry in http://www.focloir.ie

"as poor as a church mouse - he's as poor as a church mouse: tá sé beo bocht, níl pingin rua aige, níl bonn bán aige"
