Idir chlábar is cheol ag Oxegen 07 (July 6, 2007)

“'Níl aon rud rómánsúil faoi chlábar!' Sin an méid a bhí le rá ag cara de mo chuid a bhí thall ag
Glastonbury, coicís ó shin.
Ainneoin na ngrianghrafanna de dhaoine óga i mbun scléipe is iad
fliuch báite agus clúdaithe i láib ag féilte ceoil ar fud na cruinne, dheimhnigh mo chara liom nach
raibh ann ach iarracht an dubh a chur ina gheal chun dea-scéal a chothú as praiseach, agus nach
ndearna an bháisteach aon rud eile seachas drochghiúmar a chur ar gach aon duine."

Gan dabht my favorite word in this article is "DJanna," but view the comments for some others that might come in handy for reading. Because of the grammatical constructions and length of some of the clauses, I'd roughly estimate this to be at intermediate-level.

Is cuma faoin chlábar fhad is a mbíonn dea-spéir ós do chionn!

Bhuel, aontaím leat! Ach rugadh 'is togadh mé in Alaska -- má tá fadbh ag duine le fuacht, beidh trioblóid ann le hocht mí gach bliain....

Fuacht, clábar -- rudaí beaga nuair atá spórt le fáil!
