They are away to open the cinema at An Lanntair on Stornoway for a trial period so expect the seas to boil and the earth to fall in on itself. Although that said a storm did blow up on the first Sunday sailing from Stornoway to Ullapool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sipnueng, while we use all the other numbers for teens, twenties and so... Note for all. 13 is also an unlucky number here because if you turn the number on its side to the right. Is looks like the word ghost in written Thai language. Teacher Slip is here all day. Slip is winning so far Anyone got anything more exotic than Thai? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 On 25/05/2018 at 10:05, invergowrie arab said: The point is to give Gaelic equal respect and to allow Gaels to live their lives as far as as possible in their native language. If it's as relevant to you in your life as Latin that's fine. It's the daily language of 55,000 people though and a community language still in some areas so to say it's as relevant as Latin is a touch silly. As you say though, if it's not relevant to you just ignore it. I think most reasonable people, like yourself, find that easy enough to do. Is it? I thought that was just the number of people who had some level of ability. Do they actually use it daily? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
