I can't find a way to translate the "dreaded" part of a phrase, cuir i gcás, "the dreaded double-post".

I can find words like 'horrific, terrible, dire' etc. that are kind of similar but they are too strong and I'd rather get a meaning for 'dreaded' as in the sense 'not looked forward to'/ 'feared' etc.!

Any ideas out there?

Grrm rr!

A Shinéad, a chara,

Hmmm... mallaithe? Damanta?

Cúpla smaoineamh duit.

Slán beo, Paul

"[double-post] an uafáis" a déarfainn.

Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!
