Re: Announcing the arrival of Bobette #2

That's fantastic Bob, my guy was 6 lbs 12 oz when born and 6 lbs leaving the hospital and he was full-term! He hasn't stopped eating since and is beginning to resemble a sumo wrestler.

Re: Marriage or student visa ?

One quick check, you know you have to give 3 months notice to get married in Ireland?
