The sunlight was stronger to my church-dark widened eyes

than the light which had blinded me with Christ's own half-lies yes mid-sunday morning, my old playmates sat round a stumble stained table, Christopher spat and he kicked out a chair and showed me to sit then they started back singing in that shit-smelling pit they were grinning and dribbling with comforted heads their wives were in church or at home and in beds well I sucked down a cupful and God shone within in a red earthen mask, and I saw where I'd been was a palace of sin.

I began contributing in April 2006. Ceoil is gaelic for 'music'; tá me an Irish editor, from the soon to be independant republic of Cork. I like the collaborative aspect of wikipedia very much, and I noticed very early on that longer term editors were more than willing to guide, school, and give advice. In paticular, Outriggr (was briefly lost at sea, and and was much missed at the time, though when he washed up again 68 hour later, shaked himself and wave his cute little tail, 1000's wondered what all the fuss was about), WesleyDodds, SandyGeorgia have been instructive, friendly, and helpful.

A list of enemys will follow, rest assured.

Statements:

  • I've been to Dublin (staary burd); its not that great, and they talk funny. Galway (ye right)? It's grand, but grand only. Been to Limerick (be wide bro.) too. Shower of kn...only jokin, some of my best friend are from that town. Belfast (the situeatien) is better now, but still as rough as sticks. But...it's all about Poland, and Albinia, for me at the moment.
  • Someday I'm going to die. Hopefully, before then, Francis Bacon will be an FA.

The Apple Pie Award
Ceoil, may this pie be as sweet and tartly as your edits (forgive the pun) on Preludes (Chopin), and although it is obvious that this pie is not edible (nor is it a barnstar), at least it looks delicious from your computer screen. And many happy returns and a long Wiki-life. Cheers! --~~MusicalConnoisseur~~ Got Classical? 05:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


The Barnstar of High Culture
For all of your work saving Filiocht's FAs at FAR and before they even arrive. It's thankless work, with FAC and TFA already in the past.

I, Yannismarou, humbly award you this barnstar for your unequalled vision and infallible taste. We, all those men lacking your enviable superpowers, remain silent as a mark of our insignificance.
