[Nathanderweise8]

rest in peace you brave men and women alongside with Almighty God. We will never forget you and the sacrifice you made for our civilized world! Words cannot express the grief and the sadness that we all feel deep in our hearts and souls. Now rest you heros, rest until we'll see each other again.

A final Salute from Germany

The Royal Blackwatch Regiment of Canada, three cheers to the Commonwealth lads, you've done yourselves proud, its time for a rest.

Would like to hear the same video and the same lament but without any other effect sounds of bombing and extra

@keirfree "Go get Educated,, Gaelic is about as Native to Scotland, as is haggis" Stop throwing in deflections. Again you said that Gaelic has never been spoken by more than 1.3% of Scots. That is complete and utter nonsense. Even within reasonably modern times it is nonsense. The ancestors of both modern Gaelic and Scots can be traced at least to the middle of the first millenium AD which makes them pretty traditional here. Though that wasn't my point anyway!

@gaconnochie Go get Educated,, Gaelic is about as Native to Scotland, as is haggis, both are seen as Celtic, which is not the original language, or make up of the People of Scotland,

Try Pictish as a race and a language, Breton/Iberian in Origin, then the Northern European languages from witch we take our Doric language, add the Germanic ,, Friesland  then you have what has been spoken for more than 3 000 years

Words like Cloot Norwegian,,, toon Friesland Bairn, Swedish, gang, Germanic

per se. Should resources be used ensuring the likes of the Borders General Hospital has a Gaelic language plan etc? I'd say no. There is no practical use or need for it and the area has no Gaelic heritage in real historical times anyway. We are a Scots speaking area. However that doesn't mean I don't support the promotion of Gaelic in other ways particularly in its heartland.

[gaconnochie]

@keirfree You said that no-more than 1.3% of Scots of 'ever spoke Gaelic' which is a ludicrous statement. That is what I commented on. I also said that people who 'actively campaign on behalf of the Scots language" care for the status of Gaelic too. That tends to be true right from Chris Grieve down to modern campaigners and members of the SLA. As to signs etc well just because you don't agree with how money being spent on Gaelic is spent it doesn't mean you beleive money shouldn't be spent on

@silverarrowslk Do you live in some, Tartan Shortbread Box, ?

Ask the Miners of old from Fyffe , or the weavers, or the men from the Fishing Fleets whom fished, just to survive

@gaconnochie Yes ! read the Scottish Stats, and, not in my experience, has Scots speakers, advocated, the continuing use of a language that is irrelevant in 2011.

As Demonstrated by Edinburgh City Council, who threw out a stupid motion to, introduce Gaelic signs.

[gaconnochie]

@keirfree "No more than 1.3% os Scots ever spoke Gaelic," That is just a silly statement with no basis in fact. You tend to find that people who actively campaign on behalf of the Scots language care for the state of Gaelic too, and vice versa.

I am a very proud Irishman, a lot of Irish men served in the Queens regiments and were very proud to do so. We Irish have no tradition like the British do, its a shame, we do not treat our ex servicemen as well as our British comrades do. God Bless all Irish men and women who served with the British forces to free Europe. People, good people, never forget xxx
