Okay, that's a sub sect of the UK, but I have often found it useful when abroad to clarify that I'm not English.

Sad but true. :innocent:

if you'd be so kind as to explain to us what a dillweed is I can figure out whether or not to take offense.

P.S. I'm not the only Sarf Efrican here. :roll:

Latvia is a nice country, particularly their capital - Riga - I love it :notworthy:
We are neighbours but our languages... :urff: ... Latvian is Baltic, i. e. Indo-European but Estonian is Fenno-Ugric (as Finnish and Hungarian).

when i was at uni i shared a house with a chap who was first-generation hungarian immigrant - his parent were "straight off the boat" (to use his own description).

he said the hungarian language was one of the few languages with no tracable influences - ie: that there were no words deriving from any of the other "parent" languages - latin, nordic, gaelic, etc and as such it was a very strange tongue... i used to hear him speaking hungarian on the phone to his parents from time to time and he was right. a very curious-sounding language...
