Re: SIDECAR-uploading picts is a pain and confusing - why is this not in the other th
Welsh and Gaelic are related to each other, but not closely, .
really? not to sound pompus - but are you sure?
Manish (Isle of Man - last speaker died in the 70's?), and Cornish (die out 150? yrs ago) I kinda viewed as Gaelic also.
I know there is no "gaelic" but scotts gaelic" irish gaelic" etc...........
........you saying that Welsh has some Gaelic in it, but also some English/French(Norman)/Latin(from Romans) too...................sort of a mishmash???

and they're both descended from Mediterranean Indo European roots 4,000 years ago. .
All surviving European (and Northern Indian) languages - other than Basque (and maybe Laplander?) is Indoeuropean based
There's a 4,000 year old copper mine in Llandudno, up on the Orme. You can get there by riding on an early 20th C San Francisco cable car.

kewl. I rem one Welsh word - from just reading English dictionary (a good one - with a lot of archaic words) as a kid eons ago........."vug"(sp) - is a cave.

Gideon's Way was John Gregson, I think. .
yep! that's him - when you said it I knew it sounded right in my mind. great on that show. he died "youngish" - or so I understand.
Secret Army is largely forgotten here.
why is that?
of course its utterly unknown here in the United States!!!!!!!!!!!! A&E (when it was a real ARTS channel - early 90's- actually showed this show - but I didn't know it at that time - only heard that they did 25 yrs later - lol).
but it's spoof, Allo! Allo!, rampages on.
yes ;-(.
I caught a few clips on YT after learning that it was a SA spoof and quite popular (then for sure, now? not sure).......................it was horrid.
I'm not a stiff bore - ..........but......................but maybe I am if that show is actually really funny!!!!!!!!!!
it not. not the 3 or so 5 minute clips I have it (just to see "what was what and it a chance")......................
down the toilet IMO.
Secret Army is lightyears better - one of the best shows I've seen actually (and Hepton is a bad actor - but Richards as well as Francis(sp) were/are excellent actresses. both pretty too.
