Glory be - I disappear for a wee while, come back, and you're STILL discussing the same old, same old, with the same old, same old, reasons - the world has moved on in terms of Gaelic and it's spend and so many are STILL ignorant of it all quoting the same old bollocks, especially you Crayola - you've been on here for YEARS the same as me and you haven't said a damn thing different. How many newbes on here listening to you that need to know you've been spouting off about this the exact same way for years. Boring isn't the word. Nor have you gone and found out about how it's funded, why it's funded - but you still spout off as if you know all about it. Get a life and a grip. Gaelic speaking people including me and LOADS of others in the county pay their tax and they DON'T get anything like the return on their language from THEIR tax. Bilingual road signs - two in Caithness - TWO - and this since the Highland Councillors kicked off in our county SEVEN years ago - yes SEVEN years ago Cllr Flear, Cllr Rosie et al. What an effort. They said then that we were never a Gaelic speaking area - that myth got the crap kicked out of it. Then they said they don't want it forced down their throats - that also got the crap kicked out of it - who has forced it down your throat Crayola, where you've had something printed in the public domain that was Gaelic only? Where have you been forced to learn it? Where have you been forced to read it where an English equivalent wasn't available. You should be TIRED of your argument by now - you've whittled on about it for that flippin' long! Give it a rest - or come up with something new.
You used to be such a sweet wee boy until you started posting the rubbish spoken by the garlic language fascists. I've been speaking garlic for longer than you and I evidently know more about it than you do. You're still wrong about everything and everyone after all these years yet still you're rude and you try to shout people down. Gleeber gets it. Why can't you stop behaving like an angry pixie?
Welcome back to the org WBG. You found something that riled you and I found something that's riled me.
You know as well as I do that Gaelic does not have an automatic claim on the heritage of Caithness otherwise you wouldn't be coming onto the org to proclaim your victory. It's easy to shout down those of us with genuine concerns about the grip the Gaelic movement have on the heritage of Caithness when you have an Act of Parliament in your hip pocket to enforce it.
I've accepted it now but it's important for my heritage and the history of Caithness to remind those who may not know that Gaelic language has had little or no connection to the heritage of Caithness in well over one thousand years in a large part of the county with the exception of those in modern times who have taken it on-board as a pastime and hobby, yourself included, and although I endorse and encourage that I think it depreciates both the Gaelic and Caithness heritage to enforce the Gaelic Act in Caithness. I blame the Gaelic movement for that, not Highland Council.
I don't mean to be derogatory or disrespectful towards our Gaelic speaking and singing inhabitants but I'm sure they know too that there's a problem with Gaelic in Caithness. From my position its not anti-Gaelic as many of your Gaelic speaking friends perceive, but pro Caithness.
You really will have to do better than that if your trying to promote Gaelic. Your post comes over as disrespectful towards Caithness's unique heritage and those of us who embrace it.
The Gaelic coup in Caithness is complete and you have just started. Don't rub it in.
Does he speak the Thrumster Gaelic?
They won't win in Caithness because they're dying out in their heartland and the faux garlics like the wee boy aren't up to the task. You've seen what he's written and it's all made up by the language fascists. The cost of educating small numbers in small classes like in Thurso is horrendous. There will be a backlash in Thurso like there has been in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Ordinary teachers detest the garlic classes and the garlic schools for their profligate waste of money and resources.
