Thanks for keeping the ole post there scroggs and as was said there was nothing malicious on it. you'd be surprised how many irish folk can speak their native tongue at least to a comprehendible level. an irish language forum would be welcome although i fear it would be under used.
As for the cadet programme. I do wish they would bring it back although i feel my eyes aren't up to scratch. its not going to stop me trying after my engineering degree though. until im told to sod off i'll keep trying.
