I never could figure out why on the Fureys version of "Bunch of Thyme" one of the lines comes out as "Thoime brings all tings to my mind..."

Always confused the hell out of me anyway! BTW - read Bill Brysons "Mother Tongue" to see Irish gaelic described as being two seperate languages - the written and spoken. Designed by 2 seperate committes who did not speak to each other!!!
