yoda Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Trolls in this forum used to believe in things. Now we've got abysmal efforts from Clarkston5/Banterous, Haggis Pakora, Mr. Bairn, IM Rodger, and others of their ilk. What do they believe in? What do they believe in, huh? Shit trolling efforts and not being able to leave the bait alone once they cast it, resulting in getting themselves tangled up in their own lines.

LongTimeLurker Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nicola Sturgeon - The Tòiseach of Scotland It's been about 1000 years since Gaelic was the main language of state that would be a ridiculous exercise in revisionism where our cultural heritage is concerned. Think the office historically was referred to in Scots as the Chancellor, while the speaker was referred to as the Preses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Aye got to agree there as off toic as it is haha ireland using gaelic as a statement of "look at how un-british we are" is prtty pish patter . theyv been free of british rule for long enough now yet the number of irish speakers went from 250 000 at independance to around 80 thousand today! i dont much care for the gaelicisation of scots and english place names in the east and central scotland where we have never ever been gaelic speakers and its clearly just translating names into there literal gaelic meaning and have no historical basis It's been about 1000 years since Gaelic was the main language of state that would be a ridiculous exercise in revisionism where our cultural heritage is concerned.

I don't think anyone actually believes it's Reynard. That's surely a wind up. Anyone who DOES truly think it is as daft as Banterous is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McB Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The Tòiseach of Alba ? Now now Col surely you can translate the "The", and "of". In reality, and who knows it may happen that we may end up with a pres and FM. Surely a pres is a pointless figure with no powers or do we posit a Cinquieme Republique constitution? If we do have the FM as a pm do we really want the title to be in a language spoken by 1.2% of the population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, kids in Gaelic schools speak better English than their monoglot peers. You may be living proof of this. As to Gaelic names, the Lowlands of the east are littered with them due to our Gaelic speaking history. Go and research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably so grateful to get a chance to speak something non-ridiculous they make more of an effort at English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
