lol

We are the childs third school...the last school are taking the mother to court and the police have already removed her from our premises once. That was in the first week! It's such a shame because the daughter is lovely (at the moment).

How dare she insult my NF jacket!!!

I'll call the Heddlu if you carry on using language like that


Jealousy is not an attractive feature! I'm sure you know that Welsh is the language of heaven :)

No it most certainly isnt. I have worked for 2 companies in Wales; 1 in Blackwood, the other in Merthyr Tydfil. I have not come across such anti English feeling anywhere else in the world, although I am not labelling all Welsh people like that of course!

Where else in the world can you translate "Services" with about 42 letters beginning with GW and ending in EU, or fill words with letters that are pronounced totally different. Cymru - whats that all about for starters?

Have I lit the blue touch paper yet?????

Blodyn1 - I am going to fall into Tony's trap and say I have had the warmest welcome anywhere in the land on the occasions I have been to your Welsh Wales. - Usually just after you have stuffed us at Rugby mind!!!! :lol:

I've also been to Southern England..................................

Now come on .... don't tar us all with the same brush.
You wouldn't catch me going to Merthyr on my own - they're a different breed up there (Sorry to offend if anyone on here is from Merthyr) unless you're a native of the place, you feel kind of out of place, so you've probably not got a fair impression of the majority of us. Most of us are not anti english, we just like to jest a little. And if we can beat the english at anything, it's a plus, and we like to make the most of it, 'cause it probably doesn't happen very often.

I take your point about the length of some words though - it sometimes irritates me, and welsh is my first language!! But, welsh is a really easy language to follow honestly- it's completely phonetic. You say what you see. Simple. There's none of this silent letters or spelling rules like the english language

It takes a bit more than that to rile me, so you're gonna have to try a bit harder I'm afraid !

C'mon Tony, put a smile on your face, practice your welsh, and I may even buy you a drink in Niederau if it's good enough.
