    Yeah here are the tips given on Countdown to 306.

    Every story will come up on the paper in some form.

    Jack hasn't come up in a couple of years. An Bhean Og is also tipped.

    Lig Sinn i Cagtu and Bimse Buan Gach la.

    Thank god PII is only worth 16%.. I did Irish today for the first time in AGES, it was fun though... I was having a great time in australia apparently.

    Better go look over some of it now I suppose..

    I, too, was living it up in
    Sráid Koala
    Syndey
    An Astráil
    there today. Was "laughing and drinking like never before" and had to go buy new clothes because I had brought all warm clothes and it was too hot to wear them.. Said I'd met my uncle's friends and we were going for dinner and was planning to meet up with some English lads I'd met at the beach the next day etc then invited mo chara to come and stay with us for the rest of the summer since I'd found a nice restaurant that was opening up belonging to my uncle's friend who was looking for more waiting staff...

    High fantasy altogether

    I kept it simple:

    They it fish all day.
    I don't like fish.
    We are going to a restaurant tonight.
    My uncle lives near the beach.
    It is warm.
    Sometimes it is too warm.

    It went on in these poetic terms till I did about 120 words...

    Is it actually true that p2 is only worth 17% or is that an urban myth??

    This "only" thing baffles me :p Did you discount the listening or the oral for being "only" 5% either side of 20%?

    i reckon Gealt will come up in the short poetry questions with Nil Aon Ni and Faoiseamh and Bimse buan being the prescribed poems!?

    and from the pattern i'd say Fiche Bliain Ag Fas will come up in the short questions and bean og and Cearrbhach will be the prescribed pros?

    ha it really is 18%... well i think i did bad in my oral so i still wanna get as close to the full 18% as possible!:D
