Chris Timson Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 And next year I will need lots of coaching as I have never been out of the states except to Canada.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't worry, Helen, the English now very rarely eat foreigners, and your language is now spoken by quite a few people over here!

Pete Dickey Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Been away for the last day or two. Thanks for the kind words in my absence. Given me some food for thought Chris but I don't think that will work for the first time there. I'll probably save it up for next year. Helen don't forget that although you are crossing the ocean for the first time to another continent, due to the miracle of the internet you already have quite a few friends over here and we will certainly be looking after you when you are here. Mostly English spoken over here although a bit of the Gaelic may be heard in Arran in which case most of us will be as lost as you Looking forward to seeing you then.

Guest Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 "Ciamar a tha thu?" is just about all I can remember... Actually I'm told that Ulster Irish and Scottish are very similiar, so we'll see how I go . My Irish is a little more comprehensive (I can at least talk about the weather ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I really want to come now. What a warm reception. And if I can't make it next year, all won't be lost as then I can see Morgana too the following year. Of course, the better way to go, would be both years!

Guest Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Derek: Which equals AUD$2.32 a litre. We are currently paying AUD$1.27 which is pretty high for us. Works out around 53 pence. Helen: 2007 then - it's a date! (Forget Canada - let's start our own concertina school! *hee hee* ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Jim, we Americans like to complain. Morgana, okedokey. (Where is the school going to be located?) Samantha, yippee. Have fun, y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Derek: What can I say - the better team won; that's how it goes.
