Dave,

That is much more polite than the answer I got from my Brother who actually had to do part of his schooling in Welsh due to WWII. It obviously affected him since he spends his time sailing from N. Wales to Ireland, filling up with Guiness, then sailing back !! Not pretty water !

So a beer for you, and one daffodil and a pair of "wellie boots" to the uninititated. Let's see who knows where that thread leads.....

Now that our fellow Brats know the language, here is a Welsh toast that should please many Americans

Twll dîn pob Sais!

Darn it,

Should'a known that the Welsh language would have brought out the brewers of ale !!
Guess we are all stuck in front of our 'puters wondering what the night will bring in Puget Sound.
Good one Pat, now prove what you showed us on your slide show and sing us one chorus of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau at the next gathering. (or would that be a Hwyyrnos ?

BTW sorry to hear of your series of losses. Bin there, no words can help. only time.

Merv & Kathy

Me too Pat, sorry we'll miss you at the SBS this year, in the middle of a house sale here and gotta be in town... anyway...

Charlie – not sure if the three sentences go together or not. The first one in Swedish is something about a little old sheep, the second in Arabic is about managing to go on the second boat and the third in Latin is giving something to Caesar. I don’t see how they fit together. Don’t know what the little [] are for.

Dave, for the latin bit:-

If Caesar were alive, you'd be chained to an oar

Heck, I forgot what it meant already.... Confused

I'm sure it was very complimentary though, except for the sheep and oar part... Embarassed

Charlie,
Be careful about referencing "little old sheep" and "oars" in the same sentence or you might get some more replies in Welsh Xmas LOL
