Great Mike, thanks, simpli read.

fück an Ghaeilge, it holds no currency without an act.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Apologies folks, we havent been learning one word a week. I know who I blame.

One topical expression from a Christmas card I received yesterday -

"With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year"
"Beannachtai na Nollag agus na hAthbhliana"
