Those Brit colloquialisms and mumbled english made it hard to follow at times.It helped to spell out those confusing brit slangs.

  Finnegan's wake is a special case -
  there are at least 3 "censuses" to guide you through that meandering tale...
  Just remember that the 'Mooks and the Gripe' is a variation on the Fox and the Grape - though taken from the Balinese....
  Happy deciphering
  - I used up a semster on the author in 1977, most of it on that damned book! Pre-computer, pre-Google. I wanna medal! - Enophile 15:48:48 04/15/13 (1)
    On the other hand, Dubliners is my favorite book.
    
    Really ominous now, looking back at it from a more recent Catholic church perspective.

      Joyce did have his thumb on the Irish psyche -
      There is even a defense of his linguistical creation that is inherent in 'english' as practices by a reluctant population under restraint-
      
      I donated my semester to Kafka - in 1987 - still without the internet though I had graduated from a portable Royal to a Digital Personal Computer....
      So long ago...
      Happy reading
Don't you hate those "home market" movies? - just grits 14:19:26 04/08/13 (4)
Two great nations separated by a common language. Some famous twit said something to that affect.
- BTW, I think Kingsley was one of the most frightening . . . - just grits 16:01:21 04/08/13 (3)
  and verbally violent villains ever.
  - So damn effective that watching him in "Gandhi" makes me tense... - musetap 17:31:24 04/08/13 (2)
    even as "Sir Kingsley" in the Sopranos, amongst the bozos!

    - Ian McShane was menacing as well but still second to Kingsley, "yes yes yes" - PhilJ 19:38:48 04/08/13 (1)
      one of my favorites...
      
      also,
      
      I liked the dinner scene when they were told Logan was coming - the eerie silence said everything
      - Remember McShane being Burton's twirp in 'Villain'? * - just grits 17:44:16 04/14/13 (0)

British, Scottish and especially Irish accents need Captioning for me! nt - oldmkvi 22:05:22 04/07/13 (1)

- Yep, me Grandmother from Cork needed 'em... - musetap 10:22:23 04/08/13 (0)
  She used to leave me frequently scratching me head...
  
  I suppose you can now get some sort of ap for a tablet,
  hang it around someone's neck facing you and it will interpret
  what they are saying on the screen.
  
  Heavy Cockney accents are still hard to decipher - recent Britt mob
  films are a chore!
