Nah that is fair, the Welsh need to cut to the chaseRemember a recent weirdo (not on Urban) who complained that there shouldn't be any Welsh language on road signs because the extra time taken to realise that the bit he wanted to read was the English version was dangerous and could cause accidents?. I'd prefer anyone that slow of brain not to be driving, really.
that one is often trotted out, as well as the cost to have 2 lines instead of 1 on a signRemember a recent weirdo (not on Urban) who complained that there shouldn't be any Welsh language on road signs because the extra time taken to realise that the bit he wanted to read was the English version was dangerous and could cause accidents?
I am drunkenly reading your posts but I wouldn't be in favour of gaelic being compulsory here , so probs agreeI don't hate the Welsh language
I can't be bothered with most of the people that speak English, but actually that's just because I'm a grumpy antisocial git. The sentence works just as well if it ends at people".
Honestly? Good grief! Surely people's brains click on the words they DO understand? I loved bilingual signs on roads, in shops, libraries, student campus, everywhere because they were usefully educational. Admittedly, had the powers that be sorted out all the diversions as soon as I had learned the word, that would have been cool too.
How about compulsory for a year or two but optional thereafter? I would have liked that.
Boys had compulsory woodwork and metalwork and I daresay they might have been annoyed about that. I don't know. Compulsory Gaelic would have been much more fun. And more useful than stupid fish pie.
I voluntarily took needlework and cooking in my third yearHow about compulsory for a year or two but optional thereafter? I would have liked that.
When I first went to secondary school I was very annoyed about which things were compulsory for the first two years. Didn't mind the compulsory French, English, History, Geography, Maths and so on, but I was furious that it was compulsory to have classes in cooking and sewing. For girls only!
And yes, I am still annoyed. That was in 1973. Is it time for me to stop bearing this grudge?
Needles ( ) to say, I got some stick for it, but I also took woodwork and metalwork, and now I can not only bake you a cake, but I can make the baking tray, and knit it a woolly jumper if it gets cold 
It's just that I have never heard either thing complain about being cold. Maybe they're just very stoic. Could be that, I suppose.
I can build anything, from a lego toy to a helicopterOoh! < note to self: find Saul Goodman and kidnap him > Now, about the woodwork, does that mean you could build bookshelves too?
(no, seriously) They're both inanimate objects. They tend to not say very muchThe woolly jumper, though? Did you mean you would knit a jumper for the cake, or for the baking-tray?
That's where my Bear Grylls life would fail. I think I'd completely lose the plot without internet accessPerhaps anyone living where it is OK to have a real fire could manage cooking and light. Bummer about no internet, though.
I suddenly have a plan! Could go and sort of sneakily squat in CAT in Machynlleth.
I'd much rather we had compulsive scots, rather than dragging the West coast stuff over to the East . This would also have the bonus of annoying those indigenous language seeknin twats. Scots is way better, for example have you ever tried telling someone you love them in Gaelic? It's about as romantic as a doorknob. They do rejection really well though, love that shit. See Martyn Bennett's version of Ho Rinn O.How about compulsory for a year or two but optional thereafter? I would have liked that.

It's hardly exclusively Anglo, is it?
China's terrible for various non-Mandarin forms of Chinese and not much better for the non-Sinitic languages. And dozens of them have millions of underserved speakers.
This is true, there has been a large increase in children attending Irish schools and there is a growing population of speakers in the North too, with even some people from a unionist background.
Can you remind me what we've won again?
