EgloshalCawsando - 'pur da' means 'good snot' where 'pur dha' means 'very good' lol!

(Not a jibe - just brought a smile to my face)


And just what is wrong with "good snot"?



Kernow Kensa!


Our day will come!

I can't imagine exactly what it means to have good snot...

CawsandoPur da! What we really want is all these Kernewek enthusiasts yn Kernow, with their entrepreneurism.

The Sowsnek continue to flood us with their rich and decrepid old.


Well when I was interviewed on ABC radio last year over the CNLA nonsense I was asked was I moving to Cornwall. I stated that I couldn't afford to live there, like most native born Cornish, and didn't have a Toorak or Rose Bay mansion to sell (2 very pricey areas in Melbourne and Sydney).

If I ever bought a lottery ticket and won I'd come during the northern summer! icon_smile

Hope to be in Kernow next August briefly, otherwise a few years later.

In Moonta next May for the Kernewek Lowender ... perhaps a Cornwall24 meet up at the Cornwall hotel!?

Seconded that! I have a feeling it's the only month of the year I'll be able to practice my Cornish on anyone.

They might be of an "introductory" nature but if the demand is there I'm sure Bard Lillian would consider running a more structured and interactive session. No harm in asking. Be good if we could get a small group of interested participants together.
