do all Scottish, Irish and Welsh speak English?

***they just do it to annoy the English***

Exactly! That was my whole point. And it's certainly not confined to Wales! Similar tactics are employed in those parts of Scotland where Gaelic is spoken, such as the Western Isles. I know it's not nice, but there you go...that's the way it is. I remember when I was at uni and this stroppy English guy whinged to me about the "unfriendly attitude" he and his family met when they went "over the sea to Skye"...well, crossed the Lochalsh on the Kyle bridge to be precise.... All I could do was shrug my Scottish shoulders and suggested he read up on his history! I think from memory that I bought him a pint though, and mumbled something about letting bygones be bygones....

Noswaith dda i chwi oll yng Ngymru.

Mae gynnaf i ffrind ardderchog iawn sy'n byw yn Sir Fon yng Ngogledd Cymru - Andrew yw eu enw, ac yr wyf yn dysgu Cymraeg tipyn bach drwy ef ond nid'wyn da iawn yn siarad yr iaith erbyn hyny! :-( Os gwelwch yn dda .....paid a bod yn......blino hefo fi?

A wee bit in English now:
PS: I hope my Welsh friends here understand my message, or at least get the gist of what I tried to say from memory. If Andrew should ever read it - my humble apologies for any cock ups. He has laboured long and patiently trying to teach me the Language, mainly by MSN and texts and occasional face to face contacts.

Hwyl fawr.

What a load of total tosh the welsh language is.Read a paragraph from a newspaper,into a tape recorder.Then play backwards and your quite close.As i have said on this forum many a time,the welsh love all the English investment into there country, plus all the glorification that goes with being part of a leading world power.But turn our backs and there bad mouthing us as usaul.The same Welshman that would not here a bad word about the British armed forces or British firms like Rolls Royce or B.P,Would quite happily talk in welsh to irritate English people.You can see it in evidence on this forum.

Anyone out there got a English to Jibberish dictionary handy.

"All I could do was shrug my Scottish shoulders and suggested he read up on his history! "

And you Scots have the cheek to complain about the English always talking about the year 1966, whereas you lot have to be impolite and obnoxious to English people in your country for things that happened hundreds of years ago.

<<Anyone out there got a English to Jibberish dictionary handy.>>

Sorry, but isn't it "gibberish"? Just to take the piss...

Franny, what you wrote (not to mention how you wrote) in your message is not even gibberish, it's true 'Jibberish' (sic!)!!! :-)

<<And you Scots have the cheek to complain about the English always talking about the year 1966, whereas you lot have to be impolite and obnoxious to English people in your country for things that happened hundreds of years ago.>>

I'm not sure...who's impolite?

Adam, you seem to be an ADAMant Celt-hater. Sometimes I'm inclined to think you are doing it on purpose. I reckon hating Celts takes 100 per cent of your thoughts...Bad for you, I won't spend my time and energy on hating you. But don't you ever stop it...this forum would be too peaceful and boring without you.

Adam should marry Franny. They would be a nice couple, 'cause their arguments are worth sweet 'Franny Adams'. :-)

Welsh does look horrible, no offence intended. Franny is damn right there. What kind of language is that, a murdered form of English.
