Flanders was split north from south,
But the language is Dutch from each mouth,
The north loves its dope,
The south loves its POPE !!
Belgium WAS FLANDERS.......BUT SOUTH!!

Belgium is fairly recent new land ,
Flanders it was once known as ...AND
Flemish and Dutch,
Are one language ...as such!!
RELIGION drew the line in the sand !!

Dutch/Flemish , it's all West Germanic ! Not like French , which is close to Hispanic, Both "Deutsch" and word "dutch", Mean "brothers" as such !! But "Dutch" language is called LOW GERMANIC!! "Friesian" is the closest to English , "West Germani...

When Britain was taken by Rome, Only the WELSH were at home, No Scot lived in Scotland!! No English in England!! When the Romans had LEFT , they did roam !!

For the oldest existing Welsh rhyme,
Go fourteen centuries back into time.
Composed in "Gododdin" ,
In the fort of "Din Eidin" !
Edin-burgh ,it's called in its prime !!

"Y Gododdin " was composed by Aneirin,
Whilst further west lived the poet Taliesin,
Strathclyde the latter,
Midlothian the former,
But WELSH was the language they wrote in !!!

"Welsh" is Germanic for "British",
First coined by new Saxon English,
When they came to the land,
East of Offa's wide band
Called us "Romanised Strangers" or "Welisch" !!

Welsh language came down from the "BRITISH" So did the language called Cornish, Both are P-Celtic, But Manx is Q-Celtic, Like Scots Gaelic ,that makes it IRISH!! Avon's the Welsh word for "river", Dover's the Welsh word for "water" Morecambe's "curved sea", &q...

The Welsh word for "head" is just "Pen"
It can also mean "top", do you ken?
Gaelic is "kin"
So Q-Celtic fits in !
But Pennine was Welsh, way back when!!

The point of my question is that Bernard Madoff was highly respectable on the surface , and seen as a financial GURU for the elite only. So a lot of seriously wealthy individuals , who regarded themselves as "elite" and "special" could have been entrusting MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.......

It is not a "nursery rhyme" To write in tight rhyme all the time! Not all are able, To count each syll--able!! So their rhyme is unable to chime!! Have you heard of all--it--erate ? It is that which makes poetry great!! If a line rings, Then poetry sings, Internal rhyme is top rate!

The oldest existing Welsh poetry was composed in the Welsh speaking kingdom of Gododdin [Romans called them the Votadini ] around Din Eidin, now Edinburgh, circa AD 600. "Y Gododdin" was composed by the Welsh poet, Aneirin , in Din Eidin, in the court of the king ,Mynyddog Mwynfawr [cannot...

Speedhump, I note you have an interest in this Early British history. Have you read "The Age of Arthur" by Dr John Morris? Arthur was only really mentioned properly in :- Aneirin "Y Gododdin" Britain's Oldest Heroic Poem [ A.O.H Jarman ,The Welsh Classics , Gomer Press, Llandysul...

A Brit who lost £1 million in hedge funds run by Madoff has just committed suicide by shooting himself. He lost his life savings after working all over the world.
His son spoke on the BBC News yesterday.

Robby. You talk about the "bottom" of the market. The global recession is getting worse, with more bail-outs in the USA. Today it was said on BBC News that Texan BILLIONAIRE , Sir Allen Stanford, who has a SMILE [watch those boys who have big smiles !!!!] from ear to ear ...is involved in ...

Don't worry!! There are enough crooks already in Dubai!! You don't need to import ANY!!

That jewel thief was a bit thick. Why did he not dress head to toe in a woman's black burka ? No camera would have made him out. Then he could have gone around a corner and made a quick change into men's clothing. Perfect disguise. They will need more guards looking after the jewellery. This will ha...

Robby, You do NOT CONVEY SARCASM in your writing, so there is no need to get shirty with me. You may be "sarcastic" in your OWN MIND.....but that is not necessarily understood by the reader. You seem to forget that most people are ANONYMOUS on here. So Vera does NOT KNOW who is in the &quo...

Very difficult to bring American children to Dubai.It's a LONG way from the USA. Plenty of theme parks in California and Florida.
