and educational. here's what i learned: (i'm testing my deductive reasoning skills here. bear with me. if i'm wrong, and mischaracterize you, don;t worry, the impression will last, and everyone will see you this way for eternity)
you're older than 35 you are paid for what goes on above your collar, not below. you respect and admire your wife you married later in life than is typical you're at least part Italian you see yourself as having a good sense of humor you look down on americans you do not suffer from athletes foot you have eleven toes someone is looking at the back of your head, right now close your mouth, you look silly |

Phil are you a Welsh speaker?
Either way I'm sure you're better at Welsh pronunciation than me - if I post some place names could you give me a phonetic rendering? I didn't dare ask our last Welsh poster. She had some (ahem) issues. |
Yeah, the only people she hated more than Americans were Brits.
What a wanker. |

my kids are fluent, my wife speaks SWalean (welsh by south wales ... slightly different from north wales), and i can pronounce quite a bit. if you want me to, i'm sure i could help. the "rivalry" between the welsh and english goes back to Edward1 who invaded and eventually conquered Wales, and Anglicised the Welsh language out of the people. Before this, we had our own princes etc., and the feeling of being second class to what happens in England is still felt today. Luckily, the language survived and is stronger today than it has been for 800 years. however, most Welsh people have nothing against the English people, and plenty against the monarchy and the government. sounds like she was just an ignorant racist. |

wtf? :neutral: |
Don't worry, she identified herself as a Brit too and it didn't take long for the rest of us to :bolt:
I love Wales personally, and the last time I was there (for my 30th birthday) I was treated with such kindness I will definitely go back. Okay, these are in a poem by U A Fanthorpe (which I will post in the poetry thread) which I love but have been unable ever to read aloud! Blaen-Rhondda, Nantyglo, Senghenydd |
Blaen-Rhondda - Bline Rontha
Nantyglo - Nant-uh-Glow Senghenydd - Sen-gen-ith |
I thought the entire UK spoke English? Guess I learned something new today.

it does, but Wales, Ireland, Scotland (and Cornwall) have their own ancient languages. |
My trips to Wales have always been great. I also love the sound of Welsh being spoken. Lovely.

All who think we should plonk a dragon in the middle of the red cross say Bydd /no idea if this is the right word, the site I found said the Welsh had more words for yes and no than the English do for bonking |

phil mccracken = fill my crack in. just pointing out that there actually is a guy with that name. there's a Ben Dover, too. so, im easily amused. |

Shawnee, Welsh is a wonderful and separate language in its own right. There are many people for whom Welsh is their primary language and it sounds fantastically foreign to our ears. Road signs and Government forms in Wales are produced in both Welsh and English and sites like the DVLA (driving licences) and British Telecom have an option to read the website in Welsh. One of our Big Brother contestants this year was Welsh and only started speaking English for the show. Another had to learn Welsh for a task and made herself unpopular by saying she would rather learn Klingon.... |
Did someone say Welsh?
"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch" which means: "The Church of St Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave" (which sounds unbelievably pagan); although it is usually shortened to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG. |
