    :ditto: :five: thats true xoxo
    As I said, it was a load of Englishmen that told me that! I didn't know anything else about Irish sayings or anything so I believed them.

    Although after Googling it, I've found that the answer to "Top of the morning to you..." is supposedly "...and the rest of the day to yourself."

    Yup and Sharon's pregnant too! Now all we need is a proposal from Shaun (sp?), although I don't think the men who fancy Andrea will agree with me.
    I didn't know Sharon was pregnant :eek: Damn she was hot :p: LOL

    Definitely. They are all still hot. Their music is better though in my opinion.

    Oh, and by the way, here's a Corrs Soc, so to stop the Irish Soc turning into a Corrs fan meeting spot, I created it. And you can drool over them as much as you like in there

    Mmmmm, Caroline :love:

    I always used to want to live in the US when I was a kid, notsure now, although I am definitely hoping to work there for a year or two when older.
    Sorry, Dublin is by far the best

    Cool!
    Well I haven't learned how to play it yet but when I hold the tipper like a pen and try to move it it keeps changing position, like it's not steady enough and I nearly drop it, so I was wondering if that's the right way to hold it. The booklet I got with it says so but it also says other weird things like pretend it's a clock and tap the 6 and the 9... I'm not sure on what side of the tipper I'm supposed to tap them with. :confused:
    But like I said I've got the dvd tutorial now, just no time to watch it yet 'cos it's exams. Might get better when I use it though! When I have any problems with it I'll come and pester you.
