Justasking - thank you for letting me know of Np, hopefully I can make contact here on site and who knows, we might even be near each other!
LettingGo - I would definitely meet up in NY in July (work dates to be confirmed but as soon as I know ..........). Would love to visit with you in your local Irish pub! I have visited Philly a couple of times and love it so PA would be an easy, short hop also. I'll send you a pm closer to the time and maybe we'll get a few others to join. I am meeting CrazyStuff and Bewildered in West of Ireland at Easter weekend, so I am really looking forward to breaking through the anonymity!
Ready - your defence had me in stitches! I hate golf (sorry) but loved the analogy!
ShantillyLace - I'm set up with skype (for Aussie H) and am pretty tuned in to time difference, we could try that out whenever you were up for it!
