We like to look after our vowels, thank you very much.

Careful preservation of vowels - I can appreciate that, Patricia. I was pleasantly surprised, when driving through northern Wales once, to see town names where vowels did seem to be saved for special occasions. I have never forgotten seeing Gwernymynydd. I have no idea how it is pronounced and I have kept that wonder preciously.

No, there are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those who don't.

Binary is as easy as one, ten, eleven.

Ahh, so they're talking about Llareggub then?

Not so. Binary always starts with zero.

I've got a cousin whose address includes "Ty'r Graig, .. Bwlchgwyn ... Clwyd".

Sounds like something the cat threw up. Vanna, can we buy a spare vowel or two???

Patricia · 05-06-2008, 04:12 PM

No way. We love our vowels so much that we never let them out unless accompanied by a host of consonants. That address is one of the easier ones for north Wales.

Hmmmm.... I only scored 43. Allowing for a broken moral compass, using some 5 yr olds as a weapon against the others helped. However I find that they left a little out question wise.

For example on the question "Do you fight dirty?" they only offered the options of "Yes", "Maybe", and "No". The options should have been "Dirty?", "Hell yes!", "Your joking right?", "When is lunch", "Yes", "Maybe", and "No".

And on using one of the children as weapon they left out.... twisting three together to make a set of nunchuks, and building a fort out of the "nonfunctional" ones. And nothing was said about psycological warefare like captureing a few and hypeing them up on foods full of sugar and artificial food coloring, then releasing them back into the flock to cause confusion and meyhem from within there own ranks. What's up with that?

I lay here, pitching and rolling amidst my "dreams of never such seas as any that swamped the decks of his S.S. Kidwelly bellying over the bedclothes and jellyfish-slippery sucking him down salt deep into the Davy dark where the fish come biting out and nibble him down to his wishbone, and the long drowned nuzzle up to him".
