Si Eoin...cén aois atú tú? Teehehehe..sorry, couldn't resist. Jeez, I hope I said that right. :|

Slán,

Patrice

Sorry for the aside here but....Siobhan; how do you pronounce your name!? (please) I find it very interesting and it is drifving me nuts that I don't think I can pronounce it!!!

Thanks

Maith thú, Sam. Doin' well so far. Some of the others may be a bit more obscure, but keep trying anyway. By the way biscuit = cookies in 'Merican.

Patrice, maith thú fosta - great to see you trying that.

Phelan,

It's SHIV-AWN

Cén as tú?

Where are you from?

Nice name...Im in Canada

Thanks

here's a small part of the lyrics to a song entitled "To Where You Are"
(has anyone heard Josh Groban sing it? just beautiful)

I believe that angels breathe
and that love will live on and never leave

My awkward attempt to put it in Irish:

Tá mé creid aingil anail
agus le grá beidh mair agus a fhágáil go jeo na ndeor

So, get your red pens out and please make corrections...

Deb,

Did a google on Josh. Did you know you can listen to this song and the entire album here. I can understand why you think it's a great song!
