It would be funny if it weren't for the phenomenal amounts of money this absolute nonsense receives. It can even be taught in schools (http://www.ulsterscotsagency.com/weans/index.html).

N.B. The Ulster-Scots term, and this is no joke, for children with special needs in the above curriculum is 'wee daftie bairns'. Seriously.

Sorry, but that is worth the money on its own :faf:

It might be funny if the producers could speak English first. In the Teachers' Guide at that link, the plural of teacher is written repeatedly as teachers'. Morans!

Quite similar to German: Not/nott = emergency ('need') and wählen/wale = dial

Is this one of those social group wind ups that's spilled onto the boards?

The links in the first two posts surely can't be for real!:confused:

The first link is from here which, believe it or not, appears to be the real PSNI website

And the second is from the Board of Ulster-Scots. Or, ahem, the 'Boord o' Ulster-Scotch'.

Irish language groups actually have (as in, 'you don't get any funding if you don't') to cooperate with these dullards. They must spend every single meeting pissing themselves at the absurdity of it.

Absolutely crazy if you ask me. Even text speak is more understandable and easier to spell than all that baloney. :agree:

Ahhh......Thanks. :thumbsup: Even in my best Ian Paisley accent, I couldn't get any meaning out of that one.

Go back a few hundred years and that was the language Scottish people were speaking.

I'm just stocking up my Tardis and I'll confirm that when I return.

[Hibrandenburg]

It's an early form of the Anglo/Saxon language (English) which we were speaking long before the English.

Oh FFS no! :bitchy: :faf:

Are there really people out there who can only read the Scottish Parliament website in that language? How the hell do they operate their computers? :confused:

I used Google translate to decipher this message and it returned 'Whomever wrote this has lost touch with reality'.

IF this is a serious page then it reeks of patronism (IMO).

I've read the sentence containing the word siccar 8 or 9 times and I stil have no idea what it means. I even Googled it and still couldn't find it. :confused:

Meaning certainty, or assuredness.

It's all tosh as far as I'm concerned.

"We want tae mak siccar that as mony folk as possible can finn oot aboot the Scottish Pairlament."

"We want to make sure that as many people as possible can find out about the Scottish Pairlament."

"Siccar" is another word that is close to German ("sicher" - safe/secure/sure).

I wonder how many people actually needed this web page. People who can read Scots but cannot read English.

Try this one! http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

And to think of the speed that crap is usually whipped away from wikipedia, this is astounding.
