Yeah - those black round things at each corner are wheels. They help it move: for example, in to and out of Wales.

Mate - if you've dropped a bk, like you have just now, at least have the good grace to laugh at your own idiocy rather than get arsey/defensive. It just makes you look worse.

Truley, truely funny. An absolute cast iron award winning thread. There should be an annual competition for such threads, and this would surely win an award of some kind. There's lovely, boyo.

Poor old James, a genuine mistake if you've never been to Wales, but so, so funny, and all the better as it was unintentional.

I'll put my hands up - It was a genuine mistake and I hadn't considered the Welsh angle...

JTW, Thanks for brightening up my day!
Not a problem, I'm pleased that my personal idiocy has brought pleasure and hapiness to the masses smile

JTW
I've not posted anything all day - I thought I was laughing at myself - I know I've made a mistake which I've acknowledged as per those posts....

I'll take that taxi biggrin

Have a read of the whole thread before posting stuff like that - as the OP himself has pointed out above, he took it square on the chin yesterday. Fookin hilarious though! Oh, and apparently Heddlu is pronounced Hethli just in case you ever get pulled by a nice Heddluman

No, you've just misspelled 'Garda'.

That's nothing. The other day I saw this sign:



The sign writer should be immediately sacked. He's blatently written most of it in Klingon. It's dumbing down I tell you, this country is going to the dogs!!!!!!!11111111111111
Hell's bells! How the censored do they speak that language without choking to death on their own phlegm?

Welsh spellings are funny. How many Y's can a Welshman fit into the word student? Too many - Myfyrwyr

Malu Cachu.

Wonderful Welsh phrase. Literally translated it means "Breaking st". Idiomatically translated it means "fking About".

Most often used in the phrase "Peidiwch yn Malu Cachu"...an often heard sentence in my youth. It means "Stop Taking the Piss" or "Stop fking About". More literally

"Cease Breaking st!"

rofl Love it! God it's great being Welsh. We have more disgusting things to say than you can shake a stick at!

It's to deter the English from visiting us.

Reminds me of a classic from a friend, "wheres this Hotel Gwesty? seems to be a popular place..."
Haha!

I'd love the job of making up new welsh words.

Think the signs are dangerous though. Can imagine alot of tourists going "Hmm what does araf perygyl mean... smash"

Also the hazard perception clips on the driving test are filmed in Wales (or were), leading to alot of people being confused as to araf and such being written on the tarmac.

James, James, James, I love you (in a strictly manly way, of course) for this thread. When I was young and green and from a very correct background, I went into my first job as naive as a Polynesian girl painted by Paul Gauguin. On one of my forays into the staff restaurant, or Cafe, as it was known by my new colleagues, I espied an item on the menu that seemed marvellously French and tasty sounding. I approached the serving wench and asked for the Gigot chops, but I pronounced it Jeego, with a silent T, and a very soft J, more like a french 'je' with a an extra eee, "jeeego". Much mirth ensued. How was I to know it was a cut I'd never heard of?, and a very cheap one at that?
Anyway, we all do something silly at least once in our lives, that is worth a good laugh. biggrin
