Polaitíocht

Nuair a phioc muid "Polaitíocht" mar téama na míosa cúpla seachtan ó shin níor shamhlaíomar go mbeadh an méid sin caint ar cúrsaí airgid, cáináisnéis, cártaí leighis, árdú cáine...............a thiarcais! Bhí muid ag ceapadh go mbeadh muid ag plé "glamour politics"- Obama, McCain,Hillary, Sarah, Michelle, Cindy, an bhratóg réaltbhreac, ta's agat féin. Ach athríonn an saol chomh tapaidh sin, tá sé deacair a choinneáil suas leis. Mar is eol do na regulars ní leanann muid an téama beag nó mór! Tosóidh muid leis an téama agus feicimid!
Bí linn ag 8-9.30pm, sa leabharlann, Déardaoin, 23ú Deireadh Fómhair.

When we chose "Politics" as our theme several weeks ago, little did we think that the country would be consumed by money issues, budgets, medical cards, tax levies......................dear me! We were thinking "glamour politics " with the imminent US presidential election- Obama, McCain, Hillary, Sarah, Michelle, Cindy, red states, blue states, star spangled banners, razzamatazz, important CNN election reports and Michelle Obama's outfits. Anything to get us through the longer autumn evenings. Issues,smissues, we wanted an escape from our reality. As our regular attendees well know, we don't follow our theme closely so let's see how it works out!
