Thanks!

Hi Nora! Welcome back! Has there been lots of discussion about your Chestnut Trees entry! Azara might be able to fill you in, or you can see the debate from the page itself. (Not to worry - everyone thought it was really good and is worthy of addition into the Edited Guide, its the process of putting it into the Edited Guide without your say-so that was the problem)

Hope you had a good time back in the US.

Thanks!

Yes, Azara told me. There's no problem, of course - I was basically finished with it, and I certainly can't fault anyone for going ahead in my prolonged absence. It's kind of an honour, really. Of course, a few days ago I found out that the pink variety of tree is actually a different species, but I would almost certainly have submitted it without knowing that.

I had a good time in the States, though three weeks really wasn't long enough. Still, I got out of Georgia before the heat of the summer really set in, which was probably a good thing. I'm going back in less than a month, for Christmas break.

Dunno whether Im supposed to just continue on from this discussion or start another to sign up (Im starting to think that pigeons learn quicker than me) but basically I want in if you'll have me.

Im Oom Foofoo, 219591 and im from Portrush in Co. Antrim.

What am I asking to be in on btw (Im really not as dumb as this)?

Hi Oom,

"starting to think that pigeons learn quicker than me" - Nice compliment, thanks!

No, you hit the right thread - this page is a meeting point for Irish people or people based in Ireland or people who have an affinity with Ireland - that makes about 1/4 the world I guess, but what matter!

Many of the researchers mentioned here are subscribed to the page, so if you ask a question or want to know if people might be interested in meeting up, or just need to get something off your chest, then other Irish researchers will hear it, and might just respond to you.

Welcome on board - the researcher who started this page is from Coleraine. Only she can change the home page so don't worry if you don't see your name being mentioned immediately.

Cool as, cheers. Oh and my apologies for the "compliment", I meant no disrespect.

No offense given!
