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
