Being the unedited transcripts from e-mails in response to James A. Lundon's urgings. (Did all you people pass your Leaving Certificate English?)

Late entries to this list are fine; it's got to be before the race though.

Best of luck to everyone in achieving them, and remember to enjoy it all as well.
