It is a new Sylvia. How nice. I do hope you enjoyed your meal this evening :-D :-D How lovely of you to ask :-D <3

You know John I really was once again preparred to give you the beneift of doubt but after seeing your reply I have now decided you are pathetic :)

And before all the hand wringers jump on board ...giving chapter and verse on rudeness Yep I already know and really couldnt give a toss :-D


Sue to you I will say sorry and pinky promise last post on here ;-)

Others will judge, Hayley :-\ :-\ :-\ Probably privately. I do hope so, as it just spoils the thread imho.

Hayley no need for apologies <3

Lewis the loony druid was standing outside the Spar shop when an English bloke said to him "shift over mate"
"You English have no class or love of the beauty of the Welsh language" Dr. Lewis said in his guttural welsh.
"What" said the English bloke, "what you on about"?
"You English have no love for the classics" Lewis replied,
"Like what"? replied the English bloke.
"Like say, Moby Dick" sniggered the druid.
"Don't like sex books" said the English bloke.
"Tut" said the Druid "Its not about sex, its about whales"
"Don't like the bloody Welsh either" replied the Englishman. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George
JOKE :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

And your unnecessary sarcasm doesn't spoil the thread, John?

Sorry from me too, Sue. But motes and planks spring to mind.

It would be very difficult to extricate me from sarcasm, Gwynne. Sorry if it offends, but it is part of me. Like me or loathe me :-S

Oh!!!!!

Sue - you're so right. I've enjoyed (and learned from) so many posts on this thread about Wales and the Welsh language, something I knew little about previously. One of my closest friends is of Welsh parentage - her maiden name was Maurice, which I gather is quite an unusual name in Wales and she's found it hard to track down her Welsh rellies because of that. Wish she'd join GR and give her input to this thread - she'd add quite a sparkle, having a great soh. I must find out where her parents lived in Wales (I only know their names as Ada and Taffy!)

You miss the point, as usual, John. You say that you don't want the thread spoilt but you've already spoilt it.

Witty sarcasm never offends me, bland sarcasm is just a bore.

Oops, I took a phone call whilst I was typing and all hell broke loose :-(

Heaven. I'm in heaven :-D

I am happy to help with any Welsh research, gawd I have done enough! Only need a pm :-D

Will people please apologising there is no need ;-)

Nice joke George :-D (see I can take a joke about the English) :-P :-D :-D

George ... 'we knows where you lives' grrrr LOL !!

On a similar, earlier mentioned part of this thread, the retentive journalist, R Lewis (not a relation of the bad Bard) mentioned in his mythical meanderings, that the Welsh had no literary history as, for example quote Shakespear unquote. Hmmm, being a dim South Wallian with an obviously limited education then, he's never heard of the works of Taleisin ((prob couldn't pronounce the name anyway....)) - a bit before Shakers (or was it Bacon, I get confused?).

Hayley - don't u dare vanish ! Monitor and comment as applicable :-D And put the carving knife down, you'll hurt your typing wrist .....

John - well, no, you haven't answered the earlier question. Of course, you don't have to openly, but as mentioned 'Yes' , 'No' not difficult, and it doesn't apply to you anyway. Or a PM to the interested party, perhaps? I don't see the problem, to be honest.

For the originator of this 'convoluted' OP : Mae un mor wan fel un chwilio am y golau gyda llygaid ar gau.

AND actually, this doesn't break T&C's - Welsh is NOT a foreign language, according to the Laws of the UK :-D ;-) <3

Well done Llandudno because one of your family-owned establishments has just been voted the best hotel in the world for service.

Deserves a translation, MrD. Something about bats flying into walls. :-S :-S

Os dach chi'n iawn am yr henaith, mi fydd yn rhaid imi aros sgrifennu yn Saesneg.

If you are right about the old British language of Welsh, MrD, I must stop posting in English. Ie wir, aivlyS ;-)

John will not answer any questions put to him because he can't answer any question honestly without including some BS. I know this because I have asked him things on this thread myself. He likes to talk to others like they are idiots but does not like it if you do the same to him.

John's in heaven????????? No, no, no, I must not say it :-S

Nefoedd, rydw i yn y nefoedd :-D :-D :-D

Edit on 18 Jan. "Heaven, I'm in heaven". Thankyou Genes reviewer :-D

and before you ask - I reported that - English only to be used on these boards

It said "heaven, I'm in heaven" AnnC FGS

What intolerance!! At least it gives the Welsh language blogs something to chuckle about :-) ;-)

Edit. Might be better for us all to remove our Welsh phrases before we all get reported.
