Are their any ILMers here who are not from english speaking countries?

Emsk can speak Welsh. Anyone else?

or is it oes?

goddamn internet.

as you can tell, the answer's not "yes" at all. it's the opposite. still, i find women speaking welsh - or even women with a welsh accent - strangely erotic.

on the subject of scotland and england, here's iain macwhirter's 2007, from the (scottish) sunday herald. sure, it's tongue-in-cheek. but it does deal deftly and cleverly with what might just prove to be a fucking enormous constitutional explosion - and also serves as a primer for the many, many issues involved in the whole union v independence affair, if anyone's interested.

i look forward to discussing this more at substantial length come the run-up to the holyrood elections :)

(marcopollo, sorry for derailing your thread so spectacularly. i'll stop now. still: lang may yir lum reek wi ither fowk's coal, or something.)

i'm from the flanders, like stan, but i'm not cool like him.

Hi Tuomas, I lurk these days. You were also very nice and it was fun to meet you!

Nathalie is WAY cooler than me. And she can knit!

Thanks, hope we get to meet again one day. If you ever come to Helsinki and want someone to show you around, just ask me.

An P sucks. Sorry, that last record might be bearable, the previous ones were simply horrendous.

Heck, if a pretty Scottish boy opens his mouth and starts talking, regardless of "deep voice" qualification, I'm like, SWOON.

Y ¿donde esta las personas de España? O, en más, alguien del pais, er, que hablamente español. Boy didn't that deteriorate rapidly? Or "rapidamente" if you're so inclined. Anyway, if you would've caught any of my forebearers 85 years ago, you would've needed someone who understood both Spanish and English to translate. Though they would've definitely spoken a lot better Spanish than I do. ;)

Lovelace--- Are you someone I know? What with the Embassy e-mail addy and everything, seems you might be.

Also that Sebastien guy who posts metaphysical stuff is French or Belgian, isn't he?
