Phew - busy weekend on this thread!
Fionn - yeah, I'm posting as a guest from work at the mo because it's free, but I'm occasionally on my machine at home from where I am a "proper" member. I'll ask around about sessions in that area - I'm sure there's plenty.

Alison - I know what you mean. I've been in England for 4 months now and no one asks you what school you went to or where you grew up - until you meet another Northern Irish person!
