Tá m’iníon ag tosu a thiomáint inniu.
[This provoked considerable discussion and sympathy :-)> ]
Dá mbeadh slaitín draíochta againn!

SAMHLAIGH dá mbeadh an
domhan ina maireann muid
iomlán difriúil. Samhlaigh dá
mbeadh an chumhacht agat
do dhomhan fhéin a chruthú
agus d’amlíne fhéin a leagan
amach!
Imagine if the whole world we live in is completely different.
Imagine if you have the power to create your own world and lay out your own timeline!mair live cumhacht power crutaigh create, form vn cruthú -
Seo comhrá spraoiúil a thagann aníos go minic idir mé
fhéin agus mo chairde agus is
éagsúil na smaointe a bhíonn
againn ar fad.
Here is a fun conversation that often comes up between myself and my friends
and all the various ideas we have.comhrá conversation spraoi fun, sport, spree m4 spraoiúil amusing, playful éagsúil unlike, different, various -
Seo meascán de na bealaí a
n-athródh muide ár saol féin
agus roinnt de na hathruithe a
dhéanfadh muid ar an
domhan.
This [is a] mixt of the ways to change our own lives
and some of the changes we would make to the world. -
• Stopfadh an próiseas
aosaithe ag fiche a cúig. Piocadh an uimhir sin mar go
mbeadh muid sách sean lenár
gcuid cinntí féin a dhéanamh
ach fós sách óg chun go maithfí dúinn na rudaí amaideacha a
dhéanann muid.
he aging process would be stopped at twenty-five.
That number would be picked because we would be old enough to make our own decisions
but still young enough that we would forgiven for the foolish things we do.sách full, sated, enough cinneadh decision -
• Bheadh dragúin againn ar
fad ionas go mbeadh muid in
ann a bheith in aon áit ar
domhan taobh istigh de chú-
pla nóiméad agus nach
bheadh orainn a bheith
imníoch faoi rialacha bagáiste
Ryanair go brách arís.
We would all have Dragons so that we could be anywhere in the world within a couple minutes
and we would never again be anxious about Ryanair’s baggage rules.imníoch anxious go brách arís never again -
• Bheadh samhradh ceart
againn in Éirinn, mar gurb í an
tír is fearr ar domhan í nuair a
bhíonn an ghriain ag scalladh.
We would have a proper summer in Ireland,
because it is the best country in the world when the sun is scorching.scalladh scalding -
• Bheadh an Rás Aigéin
Volvo i nGaillimh chuile bhliain! Tuigeann muid ar fad cén
fáth. Seo í an fhéile is fearr
riamh.
The Volvo Ocean Race would be in Galway every year! We all understand why.
This is the best festival ever.aigéin ocean -
• Bheadh sé riachtanach go mbeadh ar a laghad
leathchéad péire bróg Christian Louboutin ag chuile bhean.
Every woman would need to have at least 50 pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes.riachtanach necessary ar a laghad -
• Ní rithfeadh an domhan
amach as airgead go deo mar
go mbeadh rialtais chliste ag
gach tír agus bheadh cosc ar
dhaoine a bheith santach. (Níl
sé santach go mbeadh
leathchéad péire bróg
Louboutin ag gach bean!)The world does not run out of money ever since every country has a smart government
that each country and would prevent people from being selfish. (It’s not selfish for every woman to have 50 pairs of
Louboutin shoes !)go deo forever cosc prevention santach selfish -
• Ní chuirfeadh siúcra meáchan ar bith ort.
Sugar would not put any weight on you.meáchan weight <!–

-
• Is ag na fir a bheadh na
páistí. (Is linne, na mná, an domhan agus sin mar a
bheadh sé,)
The men would have the children. (This is ours, [from] the women, as the world would be) -
• Bheadh muid uilig in ann gach teanga ar domhan a labhairt
We would all be able to speak every language on earth. -
• An t-aon uair a bheadh
beagánín teannais idir dhá
thír, ná nuair a bheadh an
Chraobh Domhanda Iománaíochta á himirt.
The only time that would be few tensions between two countries,
when the Hurling World Championship/Cup would be played.teannas tension craobh branch, bough, championship iomáin hurling -
• Bheadh Dé Luain mar
chuid den deireadh seachtaine. Ceithre lá a bheadh i
ngach seachtain oibre.
Monday would be part of the weekend. There would be four days each work week.<!–

-
• Thiocfadh an mhaidin
beagánín níos deireanaí sa lá
agus bheadh ´siestas´ i ngach
tír.
The morning would come a little later in the day and there would be ‘siestas’ in every country.<!–

-
• Ní bheadh tíogair fiáin.
Bheadh siad againn mar
pheataí in éineacht lenár
madraí agus na dragúin.
Tigers would not be wild. We would have them as pets along with our dogs and the Dragons.tiogar tiger m1 fiáin wild, lawless -
• Bheadh gach bean in ann
cócaráil ar nós Nigella Lawson
agus labhairt cosúil léi freisin
agus muid ag cócaireacht?! (Ná
fir a tháinig suas leis an gceann
sin!)
All women would be able to cook like Nigella Lawson and talk like her too and while we’re cooking?!
(Men [did not] who came up with that one!)<!–

• Agus ar deireadh bheadh
Elvis, Marlyn Monroe agus
Frank Sinatra fós beo! Ag
casadh ar stáitse go minic in
éineacht leis na Saw Doctors!
And finally Elvis, Marlyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra would still be alive!
On stage often together with the Saw Doctors!ag casadh ar stáitse [coming] on stage éineacht at the same time, together
Nuair a léigh mé an scéal seo cuimhne mé radharc sa scannán “Miss Congeniality.” Bhí comórtas áilleachta ann.
Iarradh ar gach na mná óga cad mhian leo chun. Dúirt siad go léir “Síochána Domhanda.”
Bh
When I read this story I remembered a scene in the movie “Miss Congeniality.” There was a beauty contest.
All the young women were asked what they wished for. They all said “World Peace.”
Blianta ó shin léigh mé an t-úrscéal “Cáisc Dubh”, scríofa le James Blish. Bhí roinnt draoidoirí/draothe sa scéal.
Bhí cuid acu ealíona speisialta. Bhí draoidoir amhain in ann a bhaint as na scamaill an intinn na polaiteoirí.
Years ago I read the novel “Black Easter”, written by James Blish. There were several magicians in the story.
Some of them had special skills. One magician was able to remove the clouds from the minds of politicians.
