    I used to have a friend at Cardiff Uni many moons ago and we'd visit her on occasion. Her flatmates would come in after lectures and find four of us stoned, laughing our heads off as we watched Postman Pat in Welsh.

    Try growing up with no Channel 4 and seeing great stuff in the Radio Times just to find out it's not on S4C!

    Bitter? Not terribly, but as I got 95% in my French SATs it's a shame I had to drop it for GCSE because my 2nd language HAD to be Welsh and now it's a shorter drive to Paris than to my parent's house.

    I like the way some words don't have a Welsh version, so if you are watching, say, a Welsh chat show, you can pick up the odd word of English during the noise that it Welsh.

    The English language is full of 'foreign' words isn't it? Piano, umbrella, bungalow etc.

    Welsh words I like are: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Katherine Jenkins, Kylie and Danii Minogue. Yum.

    In that case, has Wales changed nationality, from Aussie to British?

    And there's nothing wrong with TJ. At least, it's not unusual...

    It's fair to call it a daft language because it lacks a lot of the logic and structure other modern languages have (even the oriental ones, which are just so damn confusing).

    For example, take the english for microwave oven.

    Microwave to describe a catagory of wavelength that includes those which excite via resonse water.

    Take the welsh.

    oven and 'ping'.

    Wounderful langauge.

    Whilst its not bad that learning a language is a bad idea, its just that often languages are used as barriers between peoples and cultures. Who on earth wants someone who can speak welsh and english, over someone who could speak spanish/french/german/cantonease/english. Who?! How on earth is that good for the evooluation of man and english.

    Re: Welsh Channel 4.

    Fing is, the Welsh teach their children Welsh because of national pride. English is clearly of more use, but if da kidz don't speak Welsh they can't teach their kidz, and within a few generations it would be extinct.

    Thing is, a language where some people born in that country can't speak it is always going to be in this situation. Have you ever met a French person who can't speak fluent French? A German that can't speak German?

    Plenty of people in Wales can't speak Welsh.

    So its not a 'proper' language, in the sense that a proper language just is. You are born, you speak it, everyone you know speaks it. Welsh has to be protected and nurtured. It needs help to avoid going extinct.

    All very strange.

    I suppose Cerdic thought the Welsh were strange when he turned up in the 6th century, and found them only using a bit of the land in the West, leaving the area that comprises modern day England empty.

    He settled it, peacefully I might add, and for centuries we English have had to live in fear of constant attacks and invasion from the savage, warlike Welsh. Somehow we clung on, probably because they were too busy building the First Millennium Stadium or worshipping their strange Gods at Charlotte church.

    So now they speak Welsh as a way of saying **** you to the English, basically.
