Defending France-Musique

[hedgehog]

Most entertaining Caliban, especially for those of us from the north who like to call a spade a spade and a Renault a car

If a Renault's a car just WHAT does your spade look like?

Time was when persons were not permitted to post in a language other than English en bloc, as it were. I recall Prof.Simon falling foul of this.

Any comment from the Keeper of the Keys on this apparent change/suspension of rules?

Ahem

#8 above, perhaps?



I think it was under the jackboot of the official BBC tenure of the messageboards, n'est-ce pas?

Nant y Mynydd groyw loyw,
Yn ymdroelli tua'r pant,
Rhwng y brwyn yn sisial ganu;
O na bawn i fel y nant!

Grug y Mynydd yn eu blodau,
Edrych arnynt hiraeth ddug
Am gael aros ar y bryniau
Yn yr awel efo'r grug.

Adar ma+n y Mynydd uchel
Godant yn yr awel iach,
O'r naill drum i'r llall yn 'hedeg;
O na bawn fel deryn bach!

Mab y Mynydd ydwyf innau
Oddi cartref yn gwneud can,
Ond mae 'nghalon yn y mynydd
Efo'r grug a'r adar man.

I had great difficulty holding the PC up to the mirror to read this, and now all I can say is 'Wash your mouth out!'.

Caliban is correct: it has never been a rule of this forum that any foreign languages - or even links to websites in foreign languages - are not allowed here. That was a BBC rule.

Who would have made such a rule?

Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan ...

Hey AmpH is right, Google Translate's rather good!

Given the pages of French posted, I'd have thought the answer was obvious pour disencourager les autres

The answer to what?

[amateur51]

The answer to what?

The question in the penultimate line quoted.

Do keep up!

ou plutôt décourager, am!

Twas a multi-lingual pun innit

i'm rotten in several languages, me

[french frank]

The question in the penultimate line quoted.

Do keep up!

That question was purely rhetorical, 'the 'answer' being implied: NO ONE.

Anyway, do keep up - there has never been any such rule and therefore it has never been necessary to suspend it or disregard it pour décourager les autres, encourager les autres, avoir le courage de ses opinions, prendre son courage à deux mains, perdre courage, reprendre courage et ainsi de suite ...
