No no no no no no!!!

I still don't understand how you thought it was dumbing down the real name. Even phonetically it's not right.

A moment of idiocy.

Kill. Me. Now.

Only problem is there is no X in the Welsh alphabet so they sometimes have to spell the word phonetically

How do the stupid people sign for ebay tat then?

Apparently the Jewish insult "kike" is from the Yiddish "kikle" which means circle, as those who could not spell signed for stuff with a circle.

Yours sincerely,
eks

I don't think it matters in Wales. We just spit on the form and don't bother with the cross.

Actually that's not a bad idea. Instead of signing for goods, we could just use our DNA when the posty comes.

Wouldn't there be an issue identifying unique DNA.?

You know how Spike Milligan had "I told you I was ill" on his headstone??
What will James have on his?

Has to be:

"It's welsh you 'tard."

Everyone will understand the significance.

You people are bad And No, I won't live this down, will I!

Right then, I've clearly been forced to learn some Welsh, so here's a few phrases I've picked up:

• Ble mae’r toiledau
• Da chi ddim mor ddeiniadol a hynny ond mae’n rhaid i chi wneud, am fod hi’n 2 o’r gloch y bore ac mae’r bar wedi cau
• Sgodyn a sglodion os gwelwch yn dda
• Gai chwaneg o saws chilli ar fy nghebab

Do you talk to your mother with that mouth?

Beast.

And you can Ble yourself in the toiledau, thank you very much.

I didn't think it was **that** bad Useful Welsh phrases? No?

Or have I erred? Again.

Sorry, I forgot to write anything. It was worth it for the bump though, right?

Not really

Nearly at 20 pages - not bad for a year old thread!

Especially at the funniest part was post 1 and 2!

Was fooking funny though. Such a great use of the word 'tard'

I know - I've not been called a 'tard for a long while before that - or since I've used it as an insult recently though

Unintentional bump....

from the "simple movie maker thread" - sorry James!

You're officially not funny.

mybrainhurts said:

Oh, I don't know....

I am, however, dissapointed by the "tard" part - it says "retard" not "tard"....

when i was "filming" it she did say "tard" to start with but her posh voice made it sound like "turd" - which was funny but not as accurate. maybe i release a directors cut - or a version with subtitles (in welsh? )

I wonder if you could have put in "taard" instead

mybrainhurts said:

Maybe we could turn this into a full movie..?

I can just see it now...

An ambiwlans, an ambiwlans, my country for an ambiwlans...

Somebody call LA, he knows about this stuff...

I thought it should be "My kingdom for an ambiwlans...."

I was wondering if/when this would be resurrected - it's the thread's birthday soon too! How the bloody hell has this been going a year - surely you've all revelled in my humiliation by now?
