Thread Name: BS: Translation to Scots Gaelic Help?
Subject: BS: Translation to Scots Gaelic Help?
Hi

They don't come any more BS than this one..

We have designed a coat of arms for our department in the office where I work, and now we need a motto.

Ideally, I'm looking for a translation of the sense of :

It was like that when I got here...

Or something like - When I arrived, it was already broken...

you get the idea..


Other suggested mottos have included "Keine Raketenwissenschaft" - no rocket science.

and "Valeo, non volo" - I am able but unwilling.


If any one can help, I'd be very grateful..


Cheers


Steven
