Resignation or draw? What do you think?

There are those among the English that have infiltrated the Welsh language... they then share it with the rest of us. They even helpfully translated all the signs in Wales for us so that we knew where to attack. I don't think the Welsh have noticed yet...

I believe Mr Beasty was using Kernewek, a language created in the sourthernmost reaches of our sceptered isle, which found it's way across the Bristol channel by virtue of some rather lost surfers...

Welsh as a distinct language originated circa 6th century from Brythonic.  The first recognised Olde Englyshe appeared somewhere between the 8th and 9th centuries.  English is the new language.

Actually I have a more pressing question...do the Scots have the same preoccupation with sheep or no?  

For some reason I (and I think most of the world) sort of think you guys all have similar habits and tendencies...is that wrong?

No, the Scots have a "preoccupation" as you put it, with a different animal, the haggis, an altogether trickier creature to catch, being as it is possesed of a remarkable skill at hiding in the heather...

Afafbouardi are you an American?  I had a similar conversation with an American recently on this site whilst playing a correspondence game: 

It's only the ones under the Mason-Dixon line who are...um...what you described.  Not that I feel that way about them...

Do you like it when people call you Beastie?  

Thanks Richie#####.  Now I have to look up what a haggis is.  Is that what the Scots make their kilt out of?

Haggis is what it seemed like, in an earlier post, you thought the Welsh had for dinner.

I am dyslexic and I have the right to bear arm, but it gets cold sometime times.

btw, John Cale Rocks!!!!

haggis is not intestines...stomach.  Chitlins are good man--mmmm pork.  'Course I like kidney pie so what do I know.  I'd much rather have the haggis than McDs--the unknown holds the possibility of flavor, whereas the known makes me want to puke!

I think only Southerners and a lot of the African American community eat chitlins (which I'm still not clear on what it is)...and grits??  Hope I'm not starting a race issue in Beast's thread.

I'm more of a seafood person...so I avoid sheep intestines, stomach, and pig feet altogether.

 Grits is ground corn , eaten as a hot cereal. Most Southerners add stuff to their grits, like salt, pepper, cheese, butter .......some of these or all of these. Its a staple in the US Southeast, at least it was when I was growing up. If you have ever eaten hot oatmeal just imagine corn like this and you have an idea of grits. I have never tried chitlins myself, having smelled them cooking makes that impossible for me. I have eaten various game meat though, including barbecued raccoon. I used to hunt them all the time years ago.....

I dont know anyone who uses milk in their grits.... I certainly have never had milk in grits. Any southerners here ever use milk in their grits ?  Anyone ?

Can you give me a good recipe for these grits? They sound like something I should add to my cookery arsenal...

Thanks for that ant, fortunatly I'm very good at cooking breakfast...

How do you lock your own thread?  From a genuine chess related question I end up with cookery advice on how to cook grits which do not even exist in Wales.  Help.

Absolutely a fact.  

um... wat was that vous abousez?

I love your genuine chess related questions Beasty, they're the best genuine chess related questions on the site!

Beast...don't be rude.  And if you really wanted to I'm sure you could make grits in Wales.
