I'll check out that section too soo hehe!

I'm definately on the discussion sound - I met one of my idols last Thursday after a gig of his (Aussie called Tim Minchin) and I just wanted to jump on him and hug him, but we actually stood around having a chat for about 15 minutes, then the did the photos and hugs thing!

What were you doing on stage with Mika?!?! Sorry if that's really dumb question, but still!

Yeah, I notice there's a combination of two groups who I would divide into 'those who want to touch Mika's hair' and 'those who want to have a discussion with him'. It's a dividing line I use for most famous people!

At first I thought this was going to be all photos and giggling girls, but there's some seriously intelligent discussion occuring in the Art & Songs forum, so me happy!

Thank you very much!

I love these vBulletin Board forums - I'm a moderator on another one so I already knew my way around when I got here!

Seems to be a pretty good community here!

I haven't spoken any Irish either in a long time, but I'd love to get back into it, I hate that I'm not really fluent anymore. I'm a bit patriotic like that.

Philosophy is awesome. It really is my favourite academic thing to study (I also did Psychology and Sociology for a year, but nothing really caught my attention like Philosophy.)

I'd actually love to be good with languages, but when I don't have a natural knack for it I don't try to force it. I'm better at art and music than I am at languages, and I'm still not good enough at those to even do them on a university level!

Film subtitling sounds really interesting!

I was in Dublin last Thursday, to see Tim Minchin in Vicar Street. Epic night.

I'm not sure what I want to do yet, haven't decided whether to go down the Philosophy route I know I'd love but never get a job in, or go down the English Lit/Archival/Librarian route where I could potentially train for any of a variety of jobs

German Translation Studies eh? Fair dues, languages were never really my forté. I've studied bits of French, Spanish and Latin alongside Irish over the years, but I think I'll have to stick with English

I'm in Cork, originally from Kerry but we won't mention that (hehe) and I just finished at UCC, so I'm pretty much permenantly residing in Cork at the moment. Plans to go to Dublin when I've the funds for a Masters though.

Go an-mhaith, go raibh maith agat! It's nice to see other Irish people on here, I've joined a few different forums recently and there seems to be one or two of us sneaking about everywhere!

Dia dhuit!
