...but then again I can only parse about 10-15% of it, not speaking the language as I don't. Still, this expat got a kewlness buzz from it when it showed up in my referer log.
An tImeall immortalises yours truly in the Irish language. I can read the bit about me having done something around Xmas, and having recently moved from England (Shasana) to Cork (Corcaigh).
Not sure I like the look of that John Bull clause though :)
(Incidentally, I've been here since August, and I'd really rather people didn't refer to me as English, what with my Scots family and my Irish passport and my sincerely-held belief that multicultural London and overwhelmingly-right-wing-and-backward England are best mentally seperated. I'm obviously in no position to tell whether that's being said, being Gaelige-ly challenged, but just in case...)
I've left a comment/appeal there which I'm happy to repeat here: IMHO VocalVoter must be bilingual and I'll need more volunteer help to make that happen.

Hi John! Point taken. Actually - I didn't label you as being anything! The only reason I referred to where you'd moved from was to say you'd brought a good idea with you (writetothem.com) from the land of John Bull! :-)
You have my support, if not my practical help to bilingualise vovo. I'm reluctant to promise in case I can't deliver, but I'll podcast an appeal during the week, and we'll try to get a "meitheal" together to help. I certainly will help if no one else steps forward!
