I'm from Dublin, Ireland!

I spent a great weekend in Dublin a few years ago. We went over for the 6 nations rugby (any excuse) and spent a lot of time getting drunk in the Bridge Bar. While I was there, I picked up a CD by Aslan, called 'Live in Dublin'. It's one of my fave discs, with track 6, 'chains' being one of the best on it. It also includes a great take on Floyd's 'wish you were here'

Ahh, memories :)

-marko.

The Bridge - on Baggott St?  That place is mental on rugby days!  I'm not much of a sports fan myself, but I did watch Ireland lose to Spain in the World Cup in The Bridge...  :'(

Aslan are OK - I've never seen them live, but I hear they put on a good show.  I wondered if you were from Ireland actually, cause I'd noticed Aslan popping up on your PN capture a few times!

Speaking of which, I got mine to work now, thanks to your help and your 'gang hut' tips, so thanks a million!

I did a swedish translation of MC a couple of months ago, but I thought that I was the only swedish user, meaning that I esimated the usage of my translation beeing 100% of all potential users. Now it seems only 50 % of all swedish users use the swedish translation. In fact, I don't use it myself anymore, so it falls back to 0% of all users...it's a bad translation I guess... for instance, I could not figure out a good way of translating the word "ripped" into swedish that sounds good.
