since myself and frodo have over 10 times the number of posts, I think its only fair that we add a zero to the others score
so from current position, paul is now 30 and maeve/meave/aka becomes 20

ever wondered where that phrase comes from?? well, wonder no more...
CUT OF HIS JIB - The cut of a jib, or foresail of a ship indicates her character to a sailor and 'jib' means 'face' in sailor's slang. Thus 'don't like the cut of his jib,' which probably dates to a century ago, translates as 'I'm suspicious of him; I don't like this expression on his face.

i'm used to spelling it the correct irish way, meadhbh..... I'll have you know that 'Maeve' originated in Wales, the irish stole it. And how come you're not padraig if you don't believe in 'this anglo-saxon shit' ?

Maeve Gender: Girl Pronunciation: mah-EEVE Origin: Irish, Gaelic Meaning: "Intoxicating." Notes: The original form is Meadhbh, name of the powerful and legendary warrior queen of pre-Christian Ireland (first century). She is described in the "Tain", the Celtic equivalent of the "Illiad", as "tall, fair...carrying an iron sword." Author Maeve Binchy.
i found this on the web so it must be true

i quite like the meaning, but perhaps "Intoxicated" would be more fitting?

I thought the same thing reading the meaning... How about we just permanently change maeve to aka?? It'd make life so much easier, and so much less confusing... that right maeve a.k.a.?? And for the love of He who shall not be named people, stop smiting me!! A plague on all of you!!

Maeve Binchy would right that... have you ever read one of her books??? Pile of bollocks How can she say its pronounced Mah- eeve? Surely its more like may-uibh??? And Welsh was a language before irish although they're both similiar....The web is also a pile of bollocks....
