I was on Facebook, and I was throwing in Irish words to my comments on a friend's as I do once in a while, which I then have to translate :clap: , but this time, one of their friend's commented back with, "An bhfuil Gaelige agat!?!?" And it pretty much left me stunned for a few very happy minutes!

Maith thú! May you have many more amazing Irish moments! 8-) Sounds like that might be a tattoo request! :mrgreen:

We've been asked for worse! We once had a person revisit our old haunt to tell us that by mistake he had inked the signature of the translator and not the phrase that had been translated - he had misunderstood which was which. Luckily it was a pretty cool signature! :winkgrin:

The look on my face is a mix between Horror and Holding in a Laugh!!! That's a story, now, isn't it?

I'd say there are plenty of people around here who will remember that post from the guy - he may even have posted a photo of the tattoo, I can't remember, but we speculated about some of the signatures that he could have tattooed, a few hilarious ones - hilarious for anyone not permanently inked that is!

I hope he found humour in it himself! I don't think I'd ever go near a tattoo parlour again... :clap: Thank you for the story! Aha
