bird in welsh

Tom I try, Gwen means White: Fair: Blessed and is the Female version of Gwyn. It may also be short for Gwendolen meaning White Ring.

As a matter of interest, Francis is from the Latin for Franciscus which means FRENCHMAN and Thomas was introduced to England by the Normans.... Bonjour!

Hey Gwyn

What's wrong with a degree in Politics?

Although I do agree that some in Parliament who have some sort of a degree, have had in reality no life experience, they have just gone from Uni to the City or indeed in some cases straight to work in Parliament then onto the Party short lists and hey presto they've been elected.

I think it should be mandatory for every person standing for a national election to have experienced working in the real world for at least 5 years before coming forward as a candidate for a national election.

Before I get shot down, this is just a personal view not very Liberal you might argue but I'm so tired of watching some on those green benches in Westminster, who although very eloquent, have no concept of what life is really about for the normal man/woman on the street!

I make no apologies for my "meagre" efforts. If only one person finds the post
remotely interesting or can see the subtle humour therin, (note the removal of part of the post which makes Hingey look like he has lost the plot) then I think it was worthwhile. (Connect thread "3000 Member")

Incidently the name NICHOLAS is believed to be of Greek origin and means LEADER...what can I say?

(before the slings and arrows come out...this is TIC)

Hi Nick , tongue in cheek it could also mean ;
N - Not
I - In
C - Charge
H - Has
O - Only
L - Lost
A - Ability
S - (to) Stand (right now) :biglaugh:

Keep up the excellent research my friend .

Ouch!
McCarthy comes from the Gailic Maccarthaigh. The clan was the richest and most powerful clan in Munster before Norman and British Rule.

M - marauders
C - came
C - conquered
A - and
R - robbed.
T - The
H - heathen
Y - ya-hoos (crude or brutish person)

(The heathen Ya-hoos refers to the invaders and not the Clan Maccarthaigh)

I'm starting to wonder if any of us on this Forum are actually Welsh. (TIC)

The Normans must have nicked all of their wedge because current McCarthy's (this lot anyway) are most certainly not rich or powerful .
Thanks for that mate .
