Here's another:'A wild night; night of fierce brawling'.

Is there anyone out there with any notion of what this might be? :bash:

I would've guessed "oíche bhán" (cf. imeacht bán "going wild") but that appears not to exist.

A little birdie helped me with the answer to this one: 'oíche rua' Shame on you, Redwolf for not answering it! :prof:

Here's another one: "He's as poor as a church mouse."and, to make it harder, I want something different to Níl pingin rua aige. as we mentioned that on another thread at some stage although it would be a perfectly acceptable answer otherwise. :mrgreen:

O.k. so you have had two years to figure this one out. :mrgreen:

Suggestions?

Chaith mé súil ar FGB - nach mé atá cliste - agus tháinig mé ar "chomh bocht leis an deoir - as poor as a church mouse", ach níl a leithéid de dhath agus (an) deoir ann go bhfios domhsa. Focal eile nó cor cainte eile a bheadh I gceist agat mar sin.

'Níl bonn bán aige' a bhí i gceist agam. http://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/ ... #church__6
