Rhod Gilbert on learning Welsh (amongst other things).

Unless it is in Anglesey. In which case, you'll be in for a surprise.

Or anywhere in North Wales/Lleyn(sp?) Peninsula, Welsh is quite commonly used there these days.
I didn't think its extensive use had spread to the Gower and other bits of South Wales, but since the Welsh Assembly came about I'm not surprised that the Welsh language facism has spread.

They probably just dont want any "English baaa stads"

You can absolutely bet your last penny that when you get on site everyone will be speaking English.

Alternativvly get ZG to front for you at the interview. If he gets you the gig he can eat the pimp as a bonus

Just say "yakki da", tell them you speak Welsh and get the gig.

Just had an agent call with a perfect match contract apart from one part of the essential criteria that I couldn't meet... 'must speak Welsh', WTF? A bit of a long shot considering I live in England, it was SC cleared as well.

That is one niche I hadn’t thought about exploring, forget CCNA, Prince2, and ITIL, just learn Welsh and get security cleared…. BOOMED!!

Bah bah, bah bah bah...baah bah bah. Bah bah bah, baaaaaah...

"Bore da" is good day, I think.

And "Nos da" is good night (again, I think). I was taught Welsh in school - it's a bit of a nightmare compared to French, German etc.

Well I am only a few miles from the Seven bridge, maybe he thought I'd escaped.

My surname is Welsh in origin, I wonder if the pimp picked up on that and thought he'd take a long shot?

Well, if your name happens to be Jones the pimp has got a long afternoon ahead of him. Shame.

Don't you think that would be crediting a pimp with a bit too much intelligence?

Ahh you mean the Welsh assembly.

sounds like them. in fact, whoever it is in wales that's making such a big deal out of every bugger having to speak welsh. FFS!!

[gingerjedi]

That'd be the ******* Tafmaf (Welsh mafia) again. Cnuts, the lot of 'em.
