General Chat

BK Opening post was a cut and paste from Cambrian News. Hardly likely to be crammed with fact - I learned more on this thread from Tecwyn's local observations about the family who ran those Spar stores in that vicinity.

Cut and paste from one newspaper report. Yet you have accused me of cutting and pasting. Some contradiction, methinks. Perhaps it was you that you confused yourself with. :-S :-S

:-D

I only use professional rollers

When you visit me you are welcome to speak in English,French, German, Spanish, Welsh, Italian, Latin, scouse, cockney and gibberish :-)

Just bring a paintbrush :-D

John you was saying I was rude ?????????

No not as impressive as Sue, she knows the facts before she posts. A lot of people appreciate that...it means you know what she's talking about.

You should try it sometime :-D

BK I was replying to Mersey, not you :-P

Susan with. I love your avatar but your shush tells me it is time for me to shut up.

Anyway, my achievements are long and distinguished, but not as impressive as Sue.

I believe it's come 'ere, as in here with the 'H' - that's ' aytch' missing.

Just remembered, I encountered something similar.
About 15 years ago, I learnt stage 1 sign language.
Towards the end of term, we would decamp to the local pub, and attempt to sign to each other. This was an exercise in not saying what we were signing.

A bunch of people walked in, saw us signing, and said something derogatory about the 'bunch of deffo's in the corner'.

They soon left, when I pointed ut there were 12 of us, suggested they weren't so perfect themselves, and asked them to repeat their comment, preferably in words of more than 1 syllable, if they were capable.

BK. Think they are all English words - not sure about eer but have heard cum eer in English :-)

Can't think of many pubs in rural areas where you can walk in and not be looked at quizzically as if you had landed in a space craft. Not limited to Welsh speakers by any means, as Jax pointed out.

it's Welsh...so are you breaking T&C's to?

John can I give a little tip????

Little tip if you go into a Welsh pub with a strained atmosphere.

Stand on one of the benches or ideally a table, bang a spoon on said table and say:

"teen eer sigh, son"

No idea what it means, but you will find that everyone smiles and wants to buy you a drink. ;-)
