Well somehow I was sort of expecting a touch of the Celt, but I am SURE that it doesn't translate to Hoots Mon ! I suspect it may be something as innocuous as, "How are you ?" but I may be wrong...

Is math sin!

Yes, it is an exclamation mark and not an American posing a question

All right you two ! Send me the language CDs and I'll work on BOTH your chosen tongues, if only to stop you being so blessed cryptic !

The one I always wanted to get round was Welsh. Never managed it, and me having 100% dyed-in-the-wool Welsh relatives too ! I have a very small vocabulary in Cymraeg.

You were right and, basically, that's what I replied

Perhaps we should all be teaching each other our varied languages ?

Trouble is there's never much call for my skill in pure Black Country...

Fourscore an' seven 'eass ago ar fathers brought forth on this continent, a noo nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated ter the proposition that all men am created equal. Noo we am engaged in a crackin civil war, testing whether that nation, or anny nation so conceived an' so dedicated, can lung endure. We am met on a crackin battle-field of that war. We yav cum ter dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place fer those who eya gave their lives that this nation moight liv'. It is altogether fitten an' proper that we should does this. But, in a larger sense, we cawn dedicate…we cawn consecrate…we cawn hallow…this ground. The brave men, liven an' jed, who struggled eya, yav consecrated it far above ar poor power ter add or detract. The world will lickle note nor lung remember what we soy eya, but it can never forget what they did eya. It is fer us, the liven, rather, ter be dedicated eya ter the unfinished werk weege they who fought eya yav thus afar so nobly advanced. It is rather fer us ter be eya dedicated ter the grate task remainen before us…that frum these honored dead we tek increased devotion ter that cause fer weege they gave the lus full measure of devotion; that we eya highly resolve that these jed shall not yav doid in vain; that this nation, under god, shall yav a noo birth of freedom; an' that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish frum the earth.

Thanks to the Whoohoo Brummie translator which is probably closer to Black Country that real Brummie, but it's what most soft Southerners think of as a Brummie accent.

Nice place The Isle Of Man......shame that Freddy lives there.

By the way, I know that the Isle Of Man has different tax laws ect.. to the UK mainland...but do they pay a television licence fee too?
How about the Channel Islands, Hebridies ect..? Are they all enforced by the UK Government to collect a licence fee?

Dave.
I'll try again for an answer.
Anyone?

Dave.

How do the islanders feel about the EU's decision to rename it The Isle of Person?
