ENGLISH premier league

And now Sparkey's side are beating them

 

Catchy name! Can see why TNS is easier to say. Did not know that about the club though, cheers Indy.

 

Pedantically it would be

Give me an LL
Give me an A

As LL is one letter and it follows L in the alphabet.

There is fun when a late coming English family (or sadly those from South Wales sometimes) come to visit our magnificent cinema at Pwllheli. The seating rows are lettered, but using the Welsh alphabet. So, it's dark and a family come in clutching their ice creams and tickets.

They bend over and in the glow of the little five watt lights on the floor they see that they're in Row E. That's easy. They count the rows from the front: one, two, three, four and, right we must be in the middle of that fifth row there. They pile along getting the people at the sides to stand up. Much muttering and comments are made and then they get to their seats.

They're occupied.

"These are our seats I'm afraid"
"**** off, Saes"
"No, look. These are our seats. This is the fifth row. Row E"
"**** off. This is row D"

The tourist, in all this cultural exchange has neglected to realise that the alphabet goes A B C CH D DD...

All great fun and my only regret is that they didn't have the proper alphabet in the Millennium Stadium.

 

Don't thank me, thank wikipedia.

 

Think the question has been universally well answered by some of the toon and Welsh lads on here, hard to argue with the responses, can fully accept that they are deserving of their place now.
Sadly, judging from my red bars and the comments left to me, I have offended some of the taffs. To those people I can only apologise as a 21 year old that I have not put extensive time into researching what happened 100 years ago, or the formation of football, etc etc ....

 

Is it a pain in the arse having to clean all the wool out of your bedsheets every morning?

 

we tenderise you eat simple. Doe this mean that you indirectly have welsh in you all mmmm salty

 

Just boosted you back to green fella.
When it comes to rep power.... this board has a few heavy hitters.

 

I see Joker managed to stoke a few fires

 

A Freudian slip there methinks

 

Ok

If any of the folks from you area called my girlfriend Saes they'd have a size 10 steel toe cap through their teeth, it wouldn't be the first I'd make my own brethren bleed for insulting her that way.

 

I found this quite amusing:

Hopefully this one works

 

positive rep

 

Which is why, Jakarta, the locals here in North Wales tend to call the part where Newport, Swansea and Caerdydd is as "Nearly Wales". Though there is more now down there speaking the language than ever before, despite the Government'sbadly spun figures trying to tell us the contrary. To the folk up here it's incomprehensible that the Southern councils would need a translation department.

Mind you, the local council here, Cyngor Gwynedd, would need one to get the English wording.

Talking of councils and their hopeless translations, we've had in the North an example of a sign in one language telling us to beware of cyclists and the translation with it informing us of brain operations. And down in Cardiff who can forget the wonderful "Look Left" painted on the kerbside in one language at a crossing and in the other it said "Look Right"?

When I become King there won't be any of this bilingual nonsense on the signs. Just the one language; if in Spain they have their signs in Spanish, German in Germany, French in France then it will be Cymraeg here in Wales. But that's never going to happen as it would mean marrying Prince Charles or something equally dreadful.

 

Not this old chestnut again!.................

Must be tough mind for you lot up there, so close to the whinging Picts!...................
