Hello and wecome to h2g2, I see one of the ACE (Assistent community editors) will droped in and said hello but I thought that I'd do the same! Hi and welcome back to reality!

A big hello from me too, sionnach! We're so glad you joined our community...and we look forward to your future contributions. As Peregrin pointed out, there is no shortage of helpfulness on H2G2. If you ever need anything while you're settling in, please let any of us know.

Oh, and your name - sionnach. Isn't that Gaelic for "bagpipes"? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just adding my hi to everybody elses, they seem to have covered the basics, however if you like a good Doughnut and want to chat to lots of fellow researchers check out Joanna's fabulous stall.

Hi Amanda! thanks for writing to me! actually sionnach is Irish for fox (i have no idea what the word for bagpipes is, i dont even know if we have one!)
anything else you want to know just ask!

and a big thanks to all who offered help, i might have to take you up on that offer sometime. im going to like being here, i know it!

~Greebo bounces in.. ~

Of course you are going to like it here... ~grin~... whats not to like...

Well, there is the fact that I'm on H2G2 too - not everyone likes that.
But I do.

ok

So that's what it means, my Gaelic is improving incredibly on this site.

Oh Yuck... me not like Gaelic... ~grin~... it makes your breath smell...

Gaelic not Garlic. You might offend someone's native sensitivities especially around where I am.

Ohhhhh... hmmm... ~sheepish grin~... well me is only a cat... me can't tell the difference...

I've always heard the language referred to a "Irish" rather than "Gaelic", but then I am in Dublin and no-one round here speaks it really - possibly a lack of good Brothers schools?

Well up here they call it Gaelic, but that is propable because it has become politicised in the North.

Hmmm... sounds nasty... and me still not think it tastes nice... especially on doughnuts...

i dont know....i quite like it on buns and cakes. it adds a little flavour.

All this is making me a bit thirsty - it's early yet, but do you fancy a pint?

im up for it!

Is that a pint of milk.. ~grins hopefully!!!~
