    So your translation was: Fwc off y spud bottlar conts.

    Fwc = Fook

    but you then used 'off' why are you using an English word rather than 'i ffwrdd'?

    Sorry Matth, I'm not understanding the correct translation is 'i ffwrdd'

    Also you used 'y' for you but surely the correct translation is 'chi' obviously that can vary, but i'm sure you get my point.

    That is correct, ok, now we are getting somewhere.

    So it's not a direct translation as is the same with most languages, however, this appears more to be a local slang dialect rather than an official language translation.

    Never mind about the Welsh 'langage', you should concentrate on learning the English language!

    Saints fans are funny, mate.

    They think they have some sort of rivarly with Spurs, despite the fact they're just our (and Pool's) feeder club.

    Can understand why they hate us though. They did waive the 25% sell on clause in the Bale deal for a couple mil plus Tommy Forecast, who was roughly our 6th choice keeper at the time <laugh>.

    I couldn't believe how bad it was tbh. I was there for 8am so went for breakfast before the court opened... they have a serious rough sleepers problem.

    For the size of the place it seemed far worse than the equivalent size of somewhere in central London.

    Some **** fighting over a pasty. About 15 people asked me for a ***, I don't smoke.

    Different topic but in the court waiting room there was a big black dude, looked like Stormzy. He was wearing a sharp suit, Rolex etc. He had 2 security guards either side of him at all times and turned up with his own driver. He won his case, but I'm interested to know who the **** he was.

    Rough sleeping is a massive problem in Newport and Cardiff, never been anywhere worse.
