Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was a guest of Anne Diamond on British television when he used the Spanish word "maņana".

Diamond asked Julio to explain its meaning. He said the term means, "Maybe the job will be done tomorrow, maybe the next day, maybe the day after that. Perhaps next week, next month, next year, who cares?"

The host turned to another guest, Irishman Shay Brennan, and asked him if there was an equivalent Irish expression.

"No. In Ireland we don't have a word to describe that degree of urgency."

Woodwould, sounds like the time frame I'm trying to stick too. What doesn't get done today will get done tomorrow. Or "Fiji Time" Bula

I gather that it's true.
