	There must be something wrong with me when I agree with a few of your views. But, don't fight over me please because I feel crushed already with the weight of my own inexperience. And I'm too near the grave now to start accepting gifts from the devil, although I can still manage to tie my own shoelaces. Bit of advice - even if you are Welsh, never enter a room without knowing how to get out of it later. Begorrah! Good night.

	Dermot :-D :-D I have worked out who you are from the clues you provided. Irish links, fighting, quite old, supple. Main clue is in locked rooms and escaping. You are... Richard O'Brien (Crystal Maze)

	"Is Dermot the one off Eggheads ? ,if so I'm going to take a lie down otherwise I may faint with excitement" Thiis was the first post to be doctored last night (by Sandie), Edited with above addition. Second post doctored was mine (where I added a bit about Eggheads. This received a reponses from Sandie with "official" edits on her posts. So I (rather amusingly, I thought) added my "Sandie will be watching Emmerdale soon" to my 1847 post. I added that about 10 mins later, after Sandie has said she was going to watch Emmerdale. If you don't like a bit of leg-pulling, don't edit posts without saying you have. Sauce for goose is sauce for gander :-D Apologies for breaking "code of conduct". Will I be the only one to apologise :-S :-S

	Don't panic! I'm not a bogeyman either - at least not the version my mum used to repeatedly trot out when us youngsters were naughty. As if! What's 'bogeyman' in Welsh? Sadly, I haven’t seen any royal memorabilia yet in celebration of the forthcoming Royal addition although there are some lovely looking Easter eggs in the shops already.

	Dermot. Bwga or bwgan is the word. Alternative is dyn mwc-y-drwyn ;-) Bwga is pronounced as it looks, so be careful when talking in English about Welsh bogeymen.

	Dermot, I'd have said 'fwgan' for bogeyman, but that's me ;-)

	MrD. A bogeyman = bwgan The bogeyman = y fwgan or simply 'fwgan. You were not frightened by any old bogeyman:-D

	What's the Welsh for 'Gizzard worm'? I was never scared by the bogeyman but fear the gizzard worm may still be lurking if I'm a bad girl lol :-0

	I think you will find that the Daily Mail has run a series of anti Welsh language articles all through 2012. They will do anything to sell their rotten newspaper - including telling you tomorrow or Friday that there will be a scorching heatwave next week. I would urge any discerning lover of Wales (or truth) to take absolutely no notice whatsoever of the Daily Mail. Lovers of the Welsh language seem to be largely ignoring the irrelevant and ridiculously expensive Mail. :-( :-(] Edit. Paula. You are just horsing around :-D

	Sue., can i ask you a question please? In the article it says....... I'm sorry, but proud Welshman that I am, I find all the anti-English stance of the ethnic cultists vicious and stupid in equal measure - particularly as it is English taxes that keep the Welsh language going. ...is this money that the Welsh assembley allocate out of what is allocated to them...(if that makes sense)..or does the money come from elsewhere? I'm asking you specifically so I don't get a 3 and a half page c and p lol x
