* Welsh actually

French, Welsh and German. Is there no start to your talents?

Yes (there is no start!). I even astounded a workmate (who can speak bit of the Irish) when I told him that when I tune into BBC Alba, most of the time I can understand the Gaelic.*

BTW fsn (this is like texting  ) I read in another thread (can't be bothered searching for it) that you had peremptorily dismissed the idea of Pendraken introducing bandsmen figures  . I wonder if the following may change your mind

P.S. Sorry for hi-jacking your thread, Chieftain (its not actually a hi-jack - only a slight tangent - that's what happens here). Give my regards to the Pudding race.

No problem.   

No hijack encountered, just interesting banter.

Hairy Pudding.  It's slang.  Welsh doesn't have the same breadth as Anglo Saxon, so the sometimes the rude words have to be contrived, but when they can be poetic.

Talking of poets, today is the anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns (born in the same year as Minden).

From the first verse of Address to the Haggis:-

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

I much prefer Burns' poems to Minden's.

Adding Scots to your language skills. Are you, Westmarcher, in fact a bored Rosetta Stone program? 

Am I only the one that thinks Burns was a bit crap, and he only gets attention because he wrote in dialect?
