welsh kilts


General Discussions ( Anything Goes )

agreed......in principal, though not withstanding further negotiation, dilly-dally'ing and a general feeling of confusion upon further review.

Aye, aye! Wait..what am I voting for? Photographic repro's, and their legitimacy will be brought up in the next Americymru meeting, slated for Mar 3rd 2012, between 3:00pm and 3:03 pm at the Las Vegas Bellagio, to be followed by a stirring rendition of 'What's new pussycat?' by a sound Tom Jones loookalike who unfortunately cannot hit the higher notes.

As a part of the 'Upkilt' commitee, may I impart the '1663 County of Ayrshire vs. Dougal McTavish' legislative action that denotes 'only oil paintings, or reproductions of said oil paintings, of said nether regions, of said whatever we were talking about may be put in full view of the public, lest our innocents be defamed by sightings of said articles', in other words...Upkilts have the yes vote!!...I think!

Just as every governmental decision made in Wales, this should be discussed, re-discussed, mulled over, a meeting be set about the rediscussion, written in copy, duplicated, re-duplicated for the honorable Syr from Arfon who was not present due to Eisteddfod commitments (wife judges the oratorio), submitted to council, then forgotten about by the very people who first put it forth!!

Personally I quite like the Welsh tartan; it's a good way for Americans to start relating Welsh people to Celtic culture rather than Anglo-Saxon. To be fair historically speaking the Scots only started wearing kilts a relatively short time ago, before that they wore plaid trousers (circa William Wallace) like the other celts. Personally I like telling people that my scarf is Hughes' tartan and is relevant to my ethnicity and culture, let's face it the Irish and Scots have had plenty of identifying features in the US over the years, why not us? It's not like I can wear a Welsh rugby shirt to work every day, and dress my little girl in a stove pipe hat and apron..

..are there any other Welsh speakers out there, who have married a non-Welsh speaker and have children born here that they have a hard time teaching 'yr Iaith'.? My wife was born in northern Ireland to American parents; she would love for me to teach them Welsh, but I find it difficult in my every day schedule to do it. They know some basic phrases, but I feel like they will never have even a basic grasp of the language...being from Ynys Mon I would love it if they could retain some aspect of Welsh..any suggestions? PS Carwyn Edwards, did you ever play rugby at Bodedern secondary under Dai Long? if so we may have played against each other (Syr Thomas Jones vs Ysgol Bodedern), and for Gwynedd U16's down in Newport?

meeting people from England in the US...


General Discussions ( Anything Goes )

I think the biggest think I dislike is the fact that when an English person says 'sheepshagger' they act extremely pleased with themselves and witty like they were the absolute first person on earth that has ever used the term...the only person I have ever heard of that performed any act of beastiality where I grew up was an Englishman high on acid that got caught in a pig-sty, was arrested and henceforth held in the cells in Amlwch overnight, later charged with cruelty to an animal and an obscene public act.....perhaps the english could now be deemed pig/hog-lovers/shaggers; I just feel sorry for the pig........and whoever ended up with it's bacon during a morning fry up;)
