hey how come Ireland and Northern Ireland have to share a spot on this list?? :shocked:

Are we so insignificant over here?? :uhh:

(By the way I am not a political person at all, but if Wales and Scotland can merit being distinguished from England.... :cry: )

[Paul]

OK its just for fun!!! Right I'll separate the Irelands.....

Paul:)

[Paul]

BTW I only joined the Irelands because I thought people might not know which part of Ireland they came from. Believe me, I have no interest in getting involved in the politics. :shocked: Don't get me wrong, I just thought that most people can tell the difference between English, Scottish and Welsh accents, it's hard for people to know the difference between Northern and the Republic of Ireland accents.

Anyway the first person I thought of from Northern Ireland was Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud....... :funny:

naah... just kidding..! ;)


John - :D

[Myyde]

...her complete name btw is: Anna "...mun kaikki kestää..." Eriksson..! :p



Hehe. Melkein rupes hymyilyttämää,:smirk: tuo oli melkei yhtä hyvä ku Anna Eriksson, ota Nokia :nono:

[FinnFreak]

Kyllä naisella ääntä on - sitä ei käy kiistäminen - kappaleet eivät vain sovi meikäläisen hipiälle... :dunno:

John - :)

[Myyde]

No joo, noista kappaleista nyt voi varmaa olla montaa mieltä. Mutta kyllähän tuo livenä toimii kohtalaisesti ku on vähän erilaista materiaalia kuin levyillä (vähän popimpaa) eikä tarvii ees hirveesti ottaa dopingii, että pystyy kattelemaa. ;) :D

No sanotaa nyt näin, että jos jätetää laulaja pois ni tollane Nighwishin kaltane musa on parasta, no ko. tapaukses laulaja vaa parantaa asiaa, mutta ns. normaali tapauksis ("surkea äijä") tiputtaa pojoi rankasti.:hide: (sinullahan oli tää Nightwishin uus CD, vai? Mitä oot mieltä, kumpi on tos levyl parempi, Tarja vai se äijä minkä nimee en nyt muista, enkä nyt tiiä onks tuo ees huonoimmasta päästä ku en hirveesti muuta metallii kuuntele). No siitä kuiteki lähtää että hyvä naislaulaja pitää olla, oli musa sit mitä tahansa, upealla äänellä paikkaa paljo, eiks ni?:D

[FinnFreak]

:funny:

- jesh.

...kyllä Tarja on *hyvinkin* edukseen... itse en kylläkään ole välttämättä "ooppera-tyyli metallissa"-fani, mutta ei basistikaan lauluosuuksia huonosti hoida... tasapaino on biiseissä kohdallaan, mutta kyllä Tarja vetää kuitenkin pitemmän korren: varsinkin hitaimmissa kappaleissa rouva suorastaan loistaa... :]

heh, muodollisessa pätevyydessäkään ei koskaan ole mitään moittimista..! ;) :p :funny:

...ja rokki soi..! :D

John - ;):up:

[Myyde]

...kyllä Tarja on *hyvinkin* edukseen... itse en kylläkään ole välttämättä "ooppera-tyyli metallissa"-fani

...ja rokki soi..! :D

John - ;):up:

Varmaa tolle "ooppera-tyylille" pitää keksii uus termi, tuo ei voi olla lähelläkään oopperaa, sillä sillä eihän sitä kiljumista kestä kuunnella ku 20 sekkaa, ja ton levyn pysty kuuntelee heti 5 kertaa putkee, ni ei voi olla mitää tekemistä oopperan kanssa:funny: :funny: :funny:

...ja kyllähän tuo rokki soi (ainaki sillontällön):D
Hey, hey, hey!! Speak Swe... sorry English!!! :scowl: :p All the others (not me of course ;)) becomes curious about what you talking about. :p

Sorry. Nothing important. Just a few words about that my fav. finnish singer, Anna Eriksson. Looks that here is someone who doesn`t like much that kind of music. (guess who?):uhh:
I told some reasons why i like her, and what is the most important thing in music(IMO). Wanna know a secret?............it`s singers voice, and even better if the singer is a woman.:shocked::shocked: And then the discussion somehow jumped to Nightwish and which one is better singer in their new CD, Tarja or that guy who is trying to sing,;) but that was too obvious, of course Tarja. :D

Like i said, nothing really important. Sorry, maybe next time i/we can tell you some big secrets, oh, not you, but all the others :p

Wanna know a secret?............it`s singers voice, and even better if the singer is a woman.:shocked::shocked: And then the discussion somehow jumped to Nightwish and which one is better singer in their new CD, Tarja or that guy who is trying to sing,;) but that was too obvious, of course Tarja. :D

Like i said, nothing really important. Sorry, maybe next time i/we can tell you some big secrets, oh, not you, but all the others :p

:p Ok, I have no idea what Anna Eriksson sounds like, what kind of music does she do? Her name sounds very Swedish though :p

Yeah, next time you could tell some big secret... to all the others :p :not curious: :]

:p Ok, I have no idea what Anna Eriksson sounds like, what kind of music does she do? Her name sounds very Swedish though :p

How did that list of most beautiful languages went?:hmmm: Oh, now i remember, Italian, French, Finnish:funny:, English...But if you want to hear some short clips, you can find those -->http://www.mediamusiikki.fi/kuunteluhuone/annaeriksson.html enjoy:D (Best clips are, Et itkeä saa Argentiina and Sun luokses ikävä on.

[tower]

Famous Scots include, Logie Baird pioneer of mechanical TV in the 30's, Robert MacIntosh inventor of waterproofing cloth. MacAdam inventor of Bitumin Roads.

Famous Scots also invented or pioneered Antibiotics, Ether, Radar, NMR or MRI as it is wrongly known as today (Invented in the Aberdeen University Physics Department) The self sealing envelope, the newspaper printing press, watermarks, Bank notes, the National Health Service and even founded Fleet Street and the Bank of England. The fastest Sailing ship in the World was built by the George Brown Shipyards in Aberdeen.

I have left out more than I included, for I am pretty certain a Scot invented Value Added Tax, GST and PST (Sorry World ;) ) The current Scottish Chancelor, Gordon Brown has a lot to answer for I rekon :D

Modern inventions include Directional Drilling, Deep water drilling in hostile Northern Waters, ROV's, Free Fall lifeboats and equipment used in the British Antarctic to measure the size of the Ozone hole.

Not bad for a country with less than 4.5 million of a population.

[tower]

Oops some people are getting England and Scotland mixed up. For the Record this is a small list of Scottish Woman, or Woman of Scottish parents or upbringing:

Frances Wright, Woman's Advocate,
Frances Wright was born in 1795 in Scotland but had an early interest in America. After educating herself from a college library, she visited the United States when she was 23.

, Mary, Queen of Scots,
There has always been a fascination about Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. Her life has been romanticized in novels and in the movies. However, the story of Mary is a great tragedy in history.
