    Really? It sure didn't to me. I thought it was a pretty harsh sounding language.

    The thing I remember most was "An Cer" with an arrow meant that way to the center of town. Once you got there, there would be a roundabout with signs to all the other cities. With the exception of Dublin, of course.

    The funniest thing I heard was an announcer at a horserace broadcasting in Gaelic.
