    Ok, so I was bored earlier on and decided to translate my Bebo page into Irish.

    Ok, was on this thing a while back - quit for some reason. So, here I am (again). Anywho - I'm Dave, in 6th year right now and just counting the weeks/days left til this aul' Ardteistiméireacht is over and done with - bring on College.

    Ceart go leor, bhím anseo tamall ó shin ach d'fhág mé ... níl me cinnte cén fáth ach anois - táim ar ais arís. Ar scor ar bith, Daithí is ainm dom, agus láithreach bonn táim sa séú bhliain agus ag áireamh (counting) na laethanta/seachtaine go dtí go sroichfear an dara céim (ollscoil) nuair a bheidh an Ardteist thart.

    <<< my ugly mug on the left there - if you don't know me, or you might just want to look at me for a bit. It's all good

    <<< mo phus gránna ar thaobh na láimhe clé - má níl a fhios (agaibh) mé féin, sin nó tá fonn ort ... píosa beag(for a bit). Ní stró ar bith é

    This one I couldn't get the grammar 100%, I had to leave a bit out.

    Check out the flashbox if your bored, somethin new on it most nights.

    Amharc ar mo bhosca laom má tá leamhthuirse ort, rud éigin eile nua
    ó am go ham.

    That's all ...

    Sin é ...

    Ok, so I think I'v a rough translation there. Could anyone try and fix up the grammar a bit for me please? Thanks in advance for your time.

    It's late so I'm just going to do a small bit now. I'll do the rest if someone else hasn't done it for me tomorrow.

    bhí mé rather than bhím
    I láthair na huaire rather than láithreach bonn (You're trying to say currently, rather than immediately)

    seachtainí rather than seachtaine (nominate plural rather than genitive singular)

    Sroichfidh mé - rather than sroichfear (you 're talking in the first person singular)

    And I presume you mean tríú (third) céim rather than dara (second) céim, as regards university. Other than that it's very good. Maith thú.

    A couple of changes: "mo bhosca Flash" is probably better since Flash is a software name; and I'd add in a couple of words to the second clause to make it a full sentence on its own:cuirfidh mé rud éigin nua ann ó am go ham.
