Real conversation recorded on the Maritime Emergency Frecquency Channel 106, o the Finisterre coast (Galicia), between Galicians and Northamericans, on 16th of October 1997 (it is real):
-Galicians: (background noise).... Speaking A-853, please, divert course fifteen degrees south to avoid collision with us... You are approaching straight toward us, distance 25 nautical miles.
-Americans: (background noise)... We recommend that you divert the course fifteen degrees north to avoid collision.
-Galician: Negative. We repeat, divert course fifteen degrees south to avoid collision.
-Americans: (different american voice) Speaking the Capitain of a ship of the United States of America. We insist, you divert course fifteen degrees north to avoid collision.
-Galicians: We do not consider that feasible nor convenient, we suggest you divert course fifteen degrees south to avoid collision with us.
-Americans: (very hot) SPEAKING THE CAITAIN RICHARD JAMES HOWARD, IN COMMAND OF THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, OF THE USA NAVY, THE SECOND BIGGEST WAR SHIP OF THE NORTHAMERICAN FLEET. WE ARE SCORTED BY TWO BATTELSHIPS, SIX DESTROYERS, FIVE CRUISES, FOUR SUBMARINES AND NUMEROUS BACKUP BOATS. WE ARE BOUND TO THE PERSIAN GULF TO GET READY IN CASE OF AN EVENTUAL OFFENSIVE BY IRAQ. WE DO NOT SUGGEST... WE ORDER YOU! DIVERT YOUR COURSE FIFTEEEN DEGREES NORTH !!!!! OTHERWISE WE WOULD BE COMPELED TO TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTIONS TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP AND THE FORCE OF THIS COALITION. YOU ARE AN ALLIED COUNTRY, MEMBER OF THE NATO AND THIS COALITION... PLEASE! OBEY IMMEDIATELY AND KEEP OUT OF OUR WAY!!!!!
-Galicians: Speaking Juan Manuel Salas Alcántara. We are two people. We are escorted by our dog, our meal, two beers and a canary that is sleeping in this moment. We have the backup of the Cadena Dial broadcasting radio of La Coruña and the maritime emergencies channel106. We are going to nowhere since we are speaking from mainland, we are in the A-853 lighthouse of Finisterre, Galician coast. We have not a **TOS VIOLATION**ing clue in which ranking position we are within the Spanish lighthouses. You can take all the actions you think appropriate and you **TOS VIOLATION**ing wish to guarantee the safety of your pooh boat, that is going to get **TOS VIOLATION**ed up against the rocks, reason for what we insist again and suggest that the best, more healthy and more recommended is that: divert your course fifteen degrees south to avoid to collide with us.....!!!!
-Americans: OK, received, thanks.

Hi everyone.
Lately I have been a bit "out" in a NHS holidays spot for free. Not too bad: free accommodation, free meals, good service, beautiful staff. The hotel was one of its Fawlty Towers hotel: it is called Conquest Hospital, in Hastings.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawlty_towers)
I am getting some days better than others after the stroke while driving but the late "down" has been a "bit" long.
So, now I do spend most of the day in front of this machine from Hell that has become my window to the World.
I am writing for the following:
This is an experiment on how far can be done with Microsoft FrontPage and how many hosts have the FrontPage extensions. That's why is over loaded of crap (music, images, wallpapers, etc.). So far I've found out how to convert FrontPage to FTP when uploading the site into the host web site (or Remote Web Site how is called). So far so good. The good thing is that with FrontPage oneself don't need to have to know to write the HTML (what used to take me days to do...) or how to use a professional software (what I don't have a clue).
First thing that I did realise is that it is too slow to open the pages for first time, specially connect the background music and to display all the images. I need to correct that. Also I couldn't manage to make to work the Power Point slides in the page "My Pictures", so I did convert them into Word Documents (that also some times, takes too long to open or even it is necessary to refresh the page). I need to correct that too. About the .pps I didn't think in Windows Movie Maker... I am getting old... I will have a go on that. Better to use the free software Freemaker Video Converter, I think... Or Nero 7 Essentials. I have the 3 of them in my PC.
Please, just tell me what do you think, how can be improved, what should be taken away, what is missing, etc.
I would appreciate indeed any link on music, pictures, images, information, history, food, folk, etc., that could fit into each page (specially into de Celt Countries). Some of my friends did send me things in the past but I've lost all in a small fire in my flat (long history... one of my rages together with my lately continuous depression...) that did burn up my backup external HD.
Tis is my "baby": www.tino1948.co.uk
Slàinte!

Hi ghaillic
Beautifull , Isn't it? No more...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4787885.stm
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/08/11...s.ap/index.html
B***ards!
It has been going on since 60s but it was just between farmers and paper makers and did happen just in the few spots where the paper makers had property and not of great extent, but the developers are damn gansgters. They want to convert Galicia in a block of concrete. They are not from the area -even not Spaniards- and they don't care about our culture, heritage, traditions and environment.
The sad thing is that some Galicians are corrupted and for money are colaborating with them...

Wow! This is what is called a community...
Thanks to every one.
Madadh:
In one of the links of subhuman shows the utilkilt and is pretty obvious that no one can be offended about that. In any case, as soon as go back to my boat I'll ask the Lochmaddy's Sheriff for the nearest kilt maker. He knows every thing in the islands...
subhuman:
Thank you very much for links. I had not idea about the Galician kilt! I've found some information about the old kilt like when the Romans did arrive there in the Santiago Library and it looks like the utilkilt but less elaborated and make of cow skin. The waistcoat was made of sheep skin. Still we have the habit of wearing waistcoat.
I would like to hire your space, but find another way to pay because I don't give my Guinness away even if my life depend on it  I'm a Guinnessadict. They send me every year a birthday card and every Xmas they send me from Eire funny things. I have a quite large collection of Guinness gifts.
So in Galiza: Thistles used to grow knees high and the gorse to waist high -and huge thick brambles- so not news there... We make a kind of liquor from the yellow gorse's flower. Apart of the "Aguardiente" (Burning water) which is the same than the Breton "Gnôle" or the Irish... Oh! dear! I've forgotten... "Puchin?". It looks like water but burns like hell.
Emmet:
Nice to hear from you again! My tour of the Atlantic next year still stands. I'll make a post when I depart and where will be my first intended destination... if the wind and streams let do it in my way.
Very interesting indeed... I've printed out your comments to show to the Sheriff. You have started something here. Now I'll not sleep until I find avery thing about kilts. I don't know where I'm going to put more books. I have already a pretty good Celt library, amen of all the others. Every time I move, it takes a full load of a large Mercedes Sprinter van only for the books.
stoirmeil:
Is what I thought. It doesn't cost anything and is a good show of respect. Is just that I'm a bit paranoic about offending people, that's all, and, as I said, this people has been very good to me.

Ta Keltic, no worries
(Christ! I didn't realize how many mistakes were in my opening post... I've forgotten to check it first, sorry)
If you open the second link, that is the place where I was thinking to moor, the Cies Islands, in the mouth of the bay. Is a Natural Reserve now but there is a camping and a naturist beach just behind the ferry quay that you can see in the center, next to a monolith and a bar/hotel.
Sandy beaches with sand like flour and thick pine forest that end in the edge of the beaches. Is the last paradise in the area. Barra -also naturist- used to be like that before the developments and is just a nautical mile from the quay to the right (Doesn't show in the picture). Too sad...
Since has been declared Natural Reserve, the few inhabitants have been evicted. There are the ruins of a convent burn down by Francis Drake, the corsair, with the monks inside... alive. (For the Saxons is Sir Francis Drake, but for us... well... it is not allowed to swear here). |

I think that I've been enough in Alba and I feel that is time for a full integration, so it came to my mind that I should be wearing a kilt, but (big but...) I am not born Scottish and I am afraid of offending people or braking traditions.
The locals certainly have accept me as a Celt since they know about Galiza and they are absolutely fabulous with me, but I am not too sure if they think that I am a bit "deranged"
I Know that in Galiza, in the times of Breogan, we used to wear something similar but not exactly the same and, as with the language, we lost the tradition of wearing it centuries ago.
So, I am asking for advise: Would be right for me to wear a kilt? And if yes, There is a different type for the ones not born in Alba? A Scottish in Hastings thinks that he believes that there is something and that has to do with the colour or some restrictions on the complements or in the design or all together. |

Sorry for the delay, but has been very hectic times for me.
Among other things, I've been trying to get a mooring in my birthplace's bay -Vigo- to see live the departure of the VOR but all is full up since one year ago.
All is in my post on the Galilcian Forum today.
After all you help I thought that I owed some updated to all of you.
Just to say that I did pass the examinations and I am now in Level 4.
I think that the idea of the translator is pretty good. Don't give up! If there is something that I can do... |

For first time the VOR starts in Galiza -and I believe that in a Celt Nation- and precisely in my birthplace: Vigo
4 days to go...
http://www.volvooceanrace.org/
http://www.volvooceanrace.org/previews/prologue/
I which to be there but since one year ago there is no way to find a mooring in any marina in bay or surrounding bays and, to avoid damaging the environment, they have banned mooring in the open.
I was thinking mooring on the Cies Islands (or Illas Ficas) or in front of Barra (Yes... still remain a lot of original Celt names...) , but... |

Thanks dundee 
Some times does... A couple of times before someone in the Forum was so kind to find the Scottish Gaelic translation for me but they are specialized in Irish Gaelic.
Also it is a Forum not a translation site so not always the translation is very realistic and too much too often they start messing around arguing between them if this like "this" or it is like "that" and so on and me totaly lost in the mist.
It is fanny that there mis translation sites for things like Swahili, Catalán, Basque and Galician but nothing for Gaelic. Even Google can translate those rare languages but -on spite of that it says that it does- not Gaelic.  |

Ta Eiric
I am using already the Sabhal Mòr Ostaig translation site because there is precisely where I am studying the distance course.
Because it is in the Isle of Sky for it is just cross channel. I am in Caolas Loch Portain which is next to Lochmmady. I can take my boat straight to Uig or take the ferry from Lochmmady to Uig so it is pretty handy.
Sorry but I tend to use the English denomination -Beginners, Elementary, Intermediate and Proficiency- but in Scotland the education system -as well as the Social Security- is miles ahead of England and they are more comprehensive -and tougher- but also structured to make easy to make it, so the course is 8 levels before you are allowed to go into the Graduate 4 levels -plus the access- so I am still in Short Courses Level 3. It is a long way to go but I have decided to speak fluently the language of Breogan and my ancestors and I always do what I want.
Thank you once more.
see you around

I wonder if there is any online translator of Scottich Gaelic like the Babelfish for other languages.
I am preparing the final examination for the Intermediate Level and it would help. I am not trying to cheat  -well... I think - since those translations are not very perfect and still I will need to correct them but I am a bit short of time and a translator will speed up the learning.
Does any one knows about this kind of software available?

The Gods bless you sorbus!
Damn right! Same problem With the Castillians about Galiza. Still today in the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of Spanish the definition of Galicin is a "uncivilized, illiterate and dumb inhabitants of Galicia"
When I was kid we were not allowed to go in the train wagons with other passangers but in cargo wagons on spite of that it was literature centuries before than in Castillia knew how to write.
It is such a contempt to every thing that is Celt in Castillia (I refuse to call it Spain) that stinks.
Respect to the manners, Shamalama, That's why I left London first and England after. You can fall dead in the London Underground and nobody even would look at you. There is so much agresivity in London that is totaly unbereable.
And respect to be proud to be English, if you fly the flag you will be fined because has been ruled that is a demostration of racism (?????????). A Welsh man had the Union Jack in the front of his hotel and was fined after several denounces from... Asians. I've got fed up of some... Asians... talking all the time of "the bill that England needs to pay".
What damn bill? If when the English went there they couldn't talk properly never mind write or read. English build Universities, Hospitals, communications, transport, roads... and when they got independence they kept egverything and never paif for it and now thet talk of "a bill". What f***ing bill?
You would expect that -based in what the English left behind- they sould have built up and further development their countries but instead they are back to the same point than when the English left. It is misery over there.
You know what? the only way to conquer and rule is with an iron hand if you became soft this is what's happens.
That's why most of the English people are moving to the Mediterranean, because any monkey that just arive has more rights and benefits than any English. The English government has put down their troussers down so long ago that they can't remember where they left them... |

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE NOTICE.- Use your doctor?s surgery and help fund the N.H.S
Two lovers asked a doctor to watch them have intercourse, he agreed. When they had finished he said they had no problem and charged them £32.
They returned every week, had intercourse and left.
Finally the doctor asked them what they were worried about.
The man replied? ?We are both married and cannot use our homes. The Hilton charges £78, The Holiday Inn charges £74, you charge £32 of which we claim back £28 from BUPA for a surgery visit: So you are the cheapest in town.?

Employee Development:
This Company is to introduce a ?Special High Intensity Training Program? (S.H.I.T.). It is expected that our employees will be in the S.H.I.T. more than any other Company?s employees.
Once you have taken all the S.H.I.T. you may progress to our ?Complete Responsibility Action Program? (C.R.A.P.) for supervisors.
If you take all the C.R.A.P. you may apply for management and take our ?Advanced Supervisory Staff Helping Our Loyal Employees Course? (A.S.S.H.O.L.E.).
So work hard, take all the S.H.I.T. and C.R.A.P. and you will qualify as an A.S.S.H.O.L.E.

I am a bit confused now or perhaps you know something that I don't know.
I understand the first recommendation but... The Catalans!? They are in the other side ot the country, they are not Celts but of Fenici (Middle East) origin and they speak Catalan which is a Roman language pretty close to the French with whom they have their borders. |

Quite curious about this, he finds a hole in the fence, and looks in.
Someone inside pokes him in the eye.

Thought we are acepted as one of the Celt Nations, we are not acepted in the Celtic League because the lack of a Celtic language.
In one of those links I've enclosed somewhere on the Galicia site, it says that the last Galician speaking Gaelic died -I think- three centuries ago. And in a sudden I've just realised that I must be the solo Galician alive speaking Gaelic (Well... At Elementary Level at the moment).
How wonderful would be to re-introduce in Galicia the language of Breogan! But knowing my countrymen it would be easier to teach the cows fly. As in other Celt Nations that speak Gaelic, the National language and the local language, I don't see the problem in galicia to speak Galician, Castillian and Gaelic but...
I was thinking to contact the people in the following link
http://www.umoncton.ca/soeler/galiza/lcgenglish.htm
and have a try, but I am going to need back up.
Is there any Celt organizatiion where can I ask for help? |

Lessons I?ve learned:
I?ve learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I?ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just as*holes.
I?ve learned that it takes years to build trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I?ve learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you?d better have a big dick or huge tits.
I?ve learned that you shouldn?t compare yourself to others? they are more fu**ed up than you think.
I?ve learned that you can keep puking long after you think you?re finished.
I?ve learned that sometimes people you expect to kick you when you ?re down will be the ones who do.
I?ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children?
They will eventually get arrested and end up in the local paper.
I?ve learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.
I?ve learned to say ?Fu**?em if they can?t take a joke? in 6 languages.
As* this along to 5 friends? trust me, they?ll appreciate it.
Who knows? maybe something good will happen, If not? tough sh*t.

A woman went to her doctor for advice. She told him that her husband had developed a penchant for anal sex, and he was not sure that it was such a good idea.
The doctor asked: ?Do you enjoy it??
She said that she did.
He asked: ?Does it hurt you??
She said that it didn?t
The doctor then told her: ?Well, then, there?s no reason that you shouldn?t practice anal sex, if that?s what you like, so long as you take care not to get pregnant.?
The woman was mystified. She asked, ?You can get pregnant from anal sex??
