Good Evening,
Tomorrow morning, I am going into the GMTV NI News studios in order to record a brief interview outlining the purposes and history of IrishSlang.info.
The interview will be aired soon after this, during the morning news broadcast. I am currently unsure of the actual air time, but I will keep everyone informed.
After the interview is aired, the video will be placed into our videos section.
Watch this space

But anyway, back to the Sun newspaper. Or, the Irish Sun I should say. On thursday morning be sure to buy the Irish Son because IrishSlang.info will have an article, it shouldnt be hard to miss!
When you read it, be sure to send feedback on the forum!
Kind Regards

Hi Everyone,
Ned The Horse here, I’m pleased to see my website has finally begun to move forward. I’ve noticed allot of you posting some rather rude slang terms on here! Not to worry, its allowed, I just need to consider protecting those innocent young minds from our rude, crude and totally unacceptable language. Over the next few weeks I hope to have restricted certain categories, such as Swearing & Insulting, and also Men & Women. These categories seem to be the biggest culprits for the vulgarity!
Well, that’s all for now,
Kind Regards
Ned The Horse

Hello there again,
Its Ned here, once again the website seems to have been developed quite a long way since my last post in the Horsebox! We now have quite a large directory of slang terms submitted by all of you, and I would like to thank everyone who has taken part.
I would also like to thank Keith Law, who has kindly developed a list of Audio Samples of exactly how we speak, you can get to this by going to the "Audio" section of the website. As promised before, the new age restriction has been placed onto certain categories to protect those innocent young minds.
So, that’s about it, until next time.
Kind Regards
Ned The Horse

Hello Again!
Yes I know, its been a while since I have written an update for my blog! Last time I wrote I was in a shock about how large a response the website got! Well recently we have been seeing a steady throughflow of traffic to the site. So its been pretty good this last while! I have been out promoting the website over the past few week in various places. For example, the Empire comedy club has been kind enough to introduce the website during their gigs and have asked the audience members to take part in submission of the slang terms! As Tesco say, every little helps!
Anyway, thats all for now, i'll check in again some time soon.
Ned

Hello everyone!
Well, what can I say? the website has really taken of, with 150 genuine site members in such a short space of time, I cannot be prouder. The website currently has over 550 unique slang terms which have been submitted by our members. Lets keep this going, lets try and create the most comprehensive dictionary of Irish terms. Not all terms have to be funny! even household terms are welcome on the site! If you have any difficulty in using the website, or don't quite fully understand the process for submitted new slang terms, do not fret! very shortly a help guide will be developed and put online for all to see. Well, thats it for now.
