    Anyone here speak Welsh??

    Just had an agent call with a perfect match contract apart from one part of the essential criteria that I couldn't meet... 'must speak Welsh', WTF? A bit of a long shot considering I live in England, it was SC cleared as well.

    That is one niche I hadn’t thought about exploring, forget CCNA, Prince2, and ITIL, just learn Welsh and get security cleared…. BOOMED!!
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    A few phrases like "Cachu bant ti cachu mes" which means "can you tell me the time please officer".

      I don't think it does mean that does it Alf? (though I concede that cachu and officer may be interchangeable in certain circumstances)

              My surname is Welsh in origin, I wonder if the pimp picked up on that and thought he'd take a long shot?

                Don't you think that would be crediting a pimp with a bit too much intelligence?

                  Well, if your name happens to be Jones the pimp has got a long afternoon ahead of him. Shame.

                    Well I am only a few miles from the Seven bridge, maybe he thought I'd escaped.
