We use that one in Ireland about anyone who lives in the west. Or if you happen to live in the town in the west about the people in the countryside around you. Eg in secondary school we had a way of singing ♪You're all sheepshagging b*stards, sheepshagging ba-a-stards...♪ at gaelic football matches with the country teams >> ^alien_concept:

For some reason, it's an old running joke that the Welsh shag sheep. It's all we've really got on them, cos really they're good people
And, hey eric!

The joke about Wales went right over my head. I'm guessing that's a strictly English thing. Someone explain it to me.

^speaking of gaelic, can we add viddies like that, or w/ bagpipes if they might be scottish? oh my, everything is so complicated


Yes! This channel can contain anything like that. There are Celtic people all over the world, even in South America and South Africa (and lots and lots of bagpipes to go along with them So that means there's a lot of viddies that will fit quite nicely in here.

How to Pour the Perfect Pint of Guinness

>> ^Fusionaut:

In gaelic a 'D' in the middle of a word sounds like a 'T'


Mmm, maybe in Wales or Scotland, but in Ireland, it's never pronounced with a 'T' sound. It's either:

1) paw-drig (like the golfer)
2) paw-rig (completely dropping the 'd' sound altogether)

It's a regional thing.

MarineGunrock, the English called, they want their language back, they say they can allow you to speak French as a stopgap measure while you build Americanese from bits of Spanish, Gaelic, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Urdu, Swedish, German and Russian. Or you can learn the language of the indigenous people of your continent, your choice.

btw it's "nation in which you live"... not "nation you live in"... there, corrected that for you, but i'm not sure you can live in a nation, i think you can only be a part of a nation, so it should be "nation of which you are a part" or "state which granted your citizenship" kthxbai

anyone know who painted the first image.. the back lit, translucent waves?


That painting was made by none of the painters mentioned in the description. The painting is a brightened portion of Moon and Sea by the Russian artist George Dmitriev

Robert Burns' "To a Mouse" Recited by Dawn Steele in Scots

This was great. And by the way, my experience is that the Irish get upset if you call their living language gaelic either. Irish and Scots are living languages, and Gaelic sounds archaic to them, I think.

netean says...

title is wrong... it's not in Gaelic, it's in (old) Scots. Written in Scots, spoken in Scots.

Gaelic is a totally different language.

The scots get very upset if you get the two confused.
