    I was having a chat with one of the chaps here who reckons that Welsh is the best language to use for high speed verbal communication because the way sentences are constructed as verb-subject-object is similar to the way in which the human brain interprets language.

    But what the **** would he know, he's Welsh!

          But then again she's an elitist snob.
          One of a kind on Anglesey I'd have thought.

            Don't confuse Anglesey with Holyhead. She's not a Scouser so that immediately lifts her up the social ladder (Sorry EO but it's true.)

              I've downloaded the latest 'Pobol Y Cwm Omnibws' and I hope to be up to speed by Corrie time tonight.

              It's usually something like 'llsfdrfr highly paid cefradd contractor, look you' right?

              I like to stay one step behind...
              Where too like in Wales butti ?

                  I've been contracting in Cardiff for the past 3 months and I work with plenty of Welsh people who don't have a clue about the Welsh language.

                  So far the only voice I've heard speaking Welsh is the electronic lady in the lift.

                  'Lift going up' - 'lifty bunny/funny' ?

                  'Lift going down' - 'lifty lower'

                  Just remember to ask for an 'oggie' if you want a pasty and always have £5.70 in coins for the bridge as the queue's for the pay booths are murder.

                  HTH

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
