Welcome to the Welsh thread!

Couldn't resist

Thought I'd start it with this beauty. Most will recognise it as a ridiculous name for a train station in North Wales, but there's a little more to it than that.
Here's what Wiki has to say for those who are interested. Includes a translation.

Great example of the Welsh language. Try saying that after a few



Feel free to add other interesting (or not) aspects of Wales and Welsh culture to this thread

Wonky. You can't make up words.

I kid, I kid. This could be just the excuse we need to post pics of Welsh strumpet Charlotte "Nooooa I support Cardiff" Church.

 

Try saying it normally! I'm actually trying to learn it - be great to drop it into a conversation when talking to English people or something

 

You can't say it?? (I suppose that's to be expected of Ely people though *ducks* )

It is great to hear the English trying to pronounce it

Hell no! Dirty <bleeeeeeeeeeeeeep> as she is

 

Wales rocks!

I live in Rhosllanerchrugog, home of the world famous Rhos Male Voice Choir (Cor Meibion Rhosllanerchrugog).

I've travelled all over the world. I've seen the Sahara desert, I've seen the temples of Japan, I've seen the vast expanses of North America and I wouldn't trade any of it for the Welsh valleys and the roaring of the RMVC.

I wouldn't go that far!

Didn't notice you were in Wales Andy

 

Somehow, my image search for something suitable "Welsh" turned up a suprising amount of "bored housewife" sites.

Suddenly my old view of Wales being full of nothing more than pleasant valleys full of Welsh miners singing male voice choir whilst roaming the land with leeks in hand seems rather innocent & naive

 

sorry V! haha

 

Welsh hero

 

Strike one dude strike one...

What search engine were YOU using

Wales is quite scenic in parts (just not where I am). I'll see if I can find some nice pics now...

 

Green Bridge of wales...looks a littlr like Durdle door

 

I spent a week in Milford Haven during a residential field course where I bounded from rockpool to rockpool hunting down Littorinids and painting them before heading sneaking into the girl’s dorm…

True story! However, the reality doesn’t compare to the dream… :cry:

Anyway, I’ve never been back since. However, I do hear Cardiff sits on a rift between time and space, which would be rather interesting to see.

 

Google Images!
It must have been one of those random search string combinations....hopefully

 

now there is a place to go to and wave to wales out of the window as you pass!!

 

Yeh!!

You can drive through Wales, but dont get out of the car...Welsh people are very hostile towards English. Not the most friendly lot shall we say.

 

and Rhyl? what died there? the whole town is full of zombies!!

 

I dare not go!
