I can't wait for the film, and I agree that I don't want him to be like his incarnation in Wolverine Origins. I didn't mind him at the start but the end was terrible. However since Ryan Reynolds is playing the part again I fear that this might be the way they're going. I'd like to see him as...

1. No but I travel to bilingual areas a lot for work, Gaeltachts really, so Irish and English 2. Yes 3.(In descending order of ability) English, Irish, French, Mandarin (Just starting the Mandarin)

The reason Northern Ireland is different to Southern Ireland is because, despite being a distinct country Northern Ireland doesn't actually encompass the whole North. North-West Ireland is part of the republic. Ireland is also split into four provinces which are subdivided into 32 counties. The...

Sory for long post but... This happened to a friend of mine but we were due to go on a class trip that weekend and her Mom had just been diagnosed with cancer and her first chemo session was that weekend so my friend decided she'd rather stay at home and be there for her Mom. She couldn't...

Calling the police in Ireland is generally less than useless, I don't know if it's specifically a crime here but I doubt they would have gotten involved either way. I don't know about the cinema this happened in but in my local cinema and a few in towns near me there is no rule against making...

Yeah Irish is a ***** that way, but even hiberno english (the dialect of english spoken in ireland) can be hard for others to understand, one of my friends is an american exchange student who often hasn't a clue what I'm talking about. Part of the problem could be that the standardised english...

you've made first contact (well done, hardest part over) and you have at least one thing in common (taking the same class) try and extend any conversations you have till after class (complain about the teacher or workload or something like that while you're packing up your books to leave)and...

Amadáin is the irish for fool, óinseach (not ionsach - pronounced 0wn-shuk) is if you're calling a girl a fool. Tuilli and bitiúnach both mean b*stard in irish bitseach is ***** adn striapach is whore... there are hundreds of curses in irish, some of them get pretty creative

I don't think games will be used in secondary/high school classrooms for a long while because it's too expensive but i am in college in ireland and am about to go into final year of my english degree and am doing games as literature for my dissertation (specifically bioshock cause i can go on...

I think it will eventually happn, there are quite a few academic articles on sites like Jstor analysing games as literature, I'm in the middle of an english degree and I think the interactive nature of games would open up whole new realms for literary criticism to be less boring in, Bioshock is...

I completely agree, most original surprising book I've ever read, I still get shocked by the ending when I re-read it. It's definitely in my all time top ten books. Try reading other ones by him like 'Against a dark background' or 'the player of games' or 'state of the art' all have pretty...

The muscle mass thing is true, so is the fact that men have broader shoulders naturally allowing more muscle to build up in this area to help carry heavier packs but note that this is naturally, if a woman trains she can carry this weight as easily as a man. The whole 'biologically weaker'...

The end of lines in shakespearean sonnets rhyme like this: a-b-a-b c-d-c-d e-f-e-f g-g (a rhymes with a, b with b, etc.)

Sonnets are traditionally written from a male perspective about a woman he loves but who is absent at the moment. Look up Shakespeare sonnets 130,18 and Phillip Sidney 'Astrophel and Stella' sonnet 1. these are typical sonnets and are very representative of the form, they have strict rhyming...

I know alot of people are saying this is a satirical article but speaking as a girl the depressing thing is quite alot of womens magazines publish c*** like this regularly. I fit into alot of the qualifications for geek in this article and my boyfriend doesn't at all but he is definitely the...
