Sounds like me, late on a Saturday night

To be fair it still makes more sense than most of Tony's letters.

The Armagh4Sam school of spelling.

But sure doesnt Gaaboard lead the way for these papers by accepting regular Ulster scotch posts?

Armagh4samagain, take a bow!

"Wee Dafties" - was that the advert to find a care worker for kids with learning difficulties? Anyhow, this whole thing is beyond a joke. The bottom line is that there is money in it. 50 years of Stormont and not one word of Ulster-Scots recorded in the minutes. Does Irvine Welsh get a grant for writing books in Edinburgh-Scots? This farce will rank alongside hoaxes such as the flat earth and Antrim winning an All Ireland hurling title within three years (thanks Dinny).

Any Irish put in the Tele has to have an English translation, why not here

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

That is a great piece of piss taking - shows "Ulster-Scots" for the joke that it is.

Gulpin is a great word , right up there with Hallion .

It does and not a mention of "wee dafties" anywhere 

god forgive me, but that still cracks me up

I see the BBC is proposing to launch a dedicated digital television service for the 58k Gaelic speakers in Scotland:

I wonder will they be proposing the same for the 75k Irish language speakers in the six counties?

The whole things a complete and utter joke and a complete waste of tax payers money. I wish the likes of Lord Lord would catch himself on. The low land Scots that came with the plantation didn't ware kilts. They were worn by the Gaelic speaking highlanders. They are so mixed up it's just a joke and I think most Unionists see it as such.

It did remind me of the first chapter of Trainspotting right enough!

They might do if these people existed anywhere outside of the SF press office.
