    I just wanted to say hello to all the Irish & non-Irish people from this forum!

    I'll move to Dublin in September to start working at Microsoft and I'm very happy to work for your beautiful country. I've been here before and I have to say that the Spaniards and Irish have something in common: we're crazy!

    About me... my name is Xavier and I'm a guy from Spain. I'm a computer scientist and a guitar player. I like all kind of music, specially rock&heavy metal. If you want to meet me, learn Spanish or play in a band, just email me :)

    That's all folks! I'm very happy to be here and it will be an honour for me to work for a great country!

    Thanks!

    Xavier

    PD: Sorry for my bad English!

    You're welcome. But you better not be one of those tanned, latin Adonis types. We don't need the competition.

    I love when foreigners speak in perfect English and then apologies for their so called 'bad English'. If that is bad English, by Spanish is really really really awful.

    Welcome amigo!

    Thanks folk! I speak English thanks to my old American friends that were living in Spain and never spoke to me in Spanish (I don't know why? isn't it a bit rude?) but since it's not my mother tongue I'm not sure when I'm speaking/witting correctly. Sorry again!


    And thank you all!

    Look at that. The poor Spaniard only here a wet (ahem) week and your already trying to indoctrine him into your funny hanging about on the common (near the lido) English ways. Back of the papal cross, copy of the telegraph under one arm, pink carnation in lapel? See you there.
