Niall,
I notice that you are proficient at Gaelic. I envy you immensely. My mother was Irish (born in Carrick on Suir) ,and she was fluent. I never did get a chance to learn what is IMO the best sounding language in the world. Latin and French were thrust upon me instead by the grammar school that I attended. I have always regretted that lapse in my education.

Hey Brian nothing to envy,I am like about 90% of the Irish nation we just have enough to get by,I just have enough to get by.I actually hated it in school and only when I got older and that bit wiser I really regretted not learning it as best I could,kinda same as the guitar now.In fact it is really dying out.Here is a good story for you.
This Japenese man decided to travel to Ireland.
He studied the Irish language for a few years.
When he thought he was ready he travelled to Ireland,landed in Dublin and the first thing he asked for was a pint of guinness in the Irish langauge.The barman could not understand what he was saying.He ended up in the bar asking for things in Irish, directions to his hotel,a meal but nobody in the bar could understand him.The only language he could speak was Irish and Japanesse.Imagine that.True story.
Ah Carrick on Suir my all time hero comes from there Sean Kelly best Irish cyclist and 1 of the toughest men to ride a bike.
Thanks Sheena dosen,t it look pretty.

Yep, it does, sure, but we all know it, n'est-ce pas?
And i sympathise: i didn't manage to learn Ukrainian even to the level i could speak - i can read & understand the spoken language, but when it comes to speaking...
well, i can sing a couple of songs, but that's about all.

He wants a 620/12. This is an ultra rare 381/12v69. Its like the salesman in the Rolls-Royce dealership said "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it!"
