@Pearse @KRLunde @RowSmyth @nrk_no Learn for the fun of it now I suggest duolingo as a good starting point to refresh your memory Then watching C U Burn and Ros na Rún to open the ear As a polyglot you will find it so much easier now Go n-éirí an bóthar leat

It is a half-apology and we expect more from the national TV station @nrk_no The complaint to the Broadcasting Authority will be upheld and considered at the first meeting on January 26th irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/1…

@annie_mcginley @KRLunde @RowSmyth @nrk_no It's a beautiful language. Would love to have read An béal bocht in the original and laughed at its wonder. School took the joy away, I learnt French and then life meant I had to learn Norwegian (wonderful too). Manchán and Rubberbandits show me some of what I lost. Take care.

@annie_mcginley @KRLunde @RowSmyth @nrk_no I don't agree - so we'll leave it at that. I contend that there was no slight intended or delivered, you have a different opinion and project a whole lot of that onto other's meaning. The complaint is in, let kringkastingsrådet decide. Wishing you a Happy Christmas.

@Pearse @KRLunde @RowSmyth @nrk_no Any "quip" about the holocaust would rightly cause outrage Because it was genocide of one race by another There was no famine in Ireland It was genocide of the Irish race by the British It is not a fact that the only food in Ireland was potatoes So no alluding to facts

@annie_mcginley @KRLunde @RowSmyth @nrk_no Not at all, you are deflecting a single quip on an NRK show to the holocaust. No one is disputing the fact that the famine happened. The issue is should we take offense to a simple quip that alluded to a fact. I repeat - it was not a joke on the Irish.

@Pearse @KRLunde @RowSmyth @nrk_no The "joke" worked on the premise that there was a famine in Ireland because they had one crop that failed There was in fact a mass genocide in Ireland, where the British exported hundreds of tons of food daily under armed guard In that context I am not deflecting I'm informing

@annie_mcginley @KRLunde @RowSmyth @eddiewhyte @nrk_no Deflection - stick to the point. There was no joke or about the Ireland or the Irish, or intent to belittle the experience of the famine in that clip. I disagree with the complainant and don't believe there is grounds for it. That's all.

@KRLunde @annie_mcginley @RowSmyth @eddiewhyte @nrk_no Is is a sensitive topic? Sure is. Is there any attempt to demean or deride Ireland or the Irish in the quip? None at all. Is it even a joke? Not really, more of a tragic fact. Is there cause for a complaint to be upheld by kringkastingsrådet? Definitely shouldn't be.

@NRKno bør beklage dagens 24-stjerners julekalender når @MarkusNeby "fleiper" med den største katastrofen i irsk historie - én million irer sultet i hjel under hungersnøden og én million måtte flykte landet. Hva kommer i morgen? Litt tulleprat om #Holocaust?

Pascal donoghue is outperforming Pearse Doherty. He is composed and responding with facts and solutions. Compared to Pearse who just keeps shouting about anything he can find wrong with the budget. #rtept

@benjsto @BasSchnater Fish heads, the taller racks are for the fillets. The heads have the tongues removed, a delicacy. Great regional FA, Hålogaland, there too with @DanielKvile at the helm 👍
