    Alas I don't speak it - I grew up in the A Ghaidhealtachd (the Highlands) but languages are not my forte and it was just too damned hard. I have toyed with learning it in my dotage when there are less demands on my time (but procrastination has stolen most of that)

    If you get a good price let me know - might offload mine too.

    There's no reason not to use these letters, there are plenty of them just lying about doing nothing.

    It's not as if anyone's going to say "get off those, they're ours" ffs.

    What is it with you Celts? Lazy or just too bloody minded?
