Perfectly normal to dispose of stuff that hasn't been used in ages, shelf space is needed for storing the much anticipated Ma Kampf, soon to be available in all hotel drawers courtesy of the Gid Yins.

Maybe they could donate them to a wee, friendly Oxfam shop to sell. I am sure that we could sell them. :-)

[youngmafbog]

Oh well, not as popular as some would like to make out maybe, hence the binning.

Tha 1.1% de shluagh na h-Alba a’ bruidhinn no a’ tuigsinn Gàidhlig. Chan e sealladh làidir a th’ ann an sealladh nan Nats.
Feumaidh tu falbh a-nis, bidh am bus airson Brigadoon a’ falbh a dh’ aithghearr.
Rud sam bith air chall san eadar-theangachadh cuir fios gu Google.

You seem to have morphed into PP Douglas :-)

[douglas9401]

Translating it back into English doesn't help much. :-)

// You seem to have morphed into PP Douglas//
1. obviously scots gaelic, dimwit
2. obviously means something in its own language and so will mean something in a translated language
3. and they will be related ( the two meanings ) - Sapir Whorf is dead ( you can say summit in one language that you cant in another )
Dead it be.
4. not even stanley unwin cd compete with my incomprehensibility ( see above)

first sentence - seems to be - - - the 1% of English who also speak scots gaelic....

and the last one seem to be - you can get this translated on Google ( no I am not one of the 1%)

[Peter Pedant]

1.1% of the population of Scotland speak or understand Gaelic. The Nats' vision is not a strong one.
You have to leave now, the bus for Brigadoon will be leaving soon.
Anything missing in the translation please contact Google

damn missed Brigadoooooom !

[ToraToraTora]

why!

[ToraToraTora]

they don;t even have words more most things, have you ever heard a Welsh/Gaelic sports commentary? it's 50% English anyway. It's a form of child abuse in my opinion.

[Gromit]

If only someone would bin his rhyming slang books.

[THECORBYLOON]

"they don;t even have words more most things,"

What on earth is that meant to mean?

[Mamyalynne]

It's a crying shame that literature is destroyed - some educational may well have been out of date but Wolfie's suggestion is a good one.

[Mamyalynne]

* educational guides *

[douglas9401]

I think 'most things' means relatively recent inventions and 'most' is actually 'a few'.

Ochone.

[William51]

Wolf is right. Someone disposed of unwanted books in an incompetent way, i am sure the charity shops would like them.
