[...] was coasting along with the occasional drink with Jay. Then June hit with the wonders of Portugal, Caernarfon and Strippers, and all of a sudden I wasn’t staying in at weekends, I wasn’t drinking [...]

“(we were taught how to conduct deep philosophical discussions in Welsh, stuff that Iâ€™d never need!)”

I sincerely hope you are being ironic here. Education is not about what you’re going to need or use. It’s about building brain strength so you can figure things out, like understanding the need to save your culture.

Ah, Ive been trying to learn welsh words so I dont look like a total ignorant from the Colony!!!

And, you will drink again. Because I will be there very soon! Thanks for the call, possibly the funniest voicemail in the history of the world… The combination of english and welsh was brilliant!!!

I think platfform means platform.

Never drinking again? Pfft! Yeah right. How many times have we all said that?

Yeah top stuff on the multi-lingual capabilities. Speaking another language is awesome - my Portuguese is starting to get real rusty :S

On the topic of beer though - it’s my 21st this weekend. My old man went and bought 22 cases of beer (528 bottles) for my party this weekend. We are also putting on Wine and Bubbly for the chicks.

I think I’ll have the same opinion on drinking by Sunday ahahhahhahah

You always tried to teach me welsh - its pretty impressive to be able to speak another language though! I needed your french skills last week!!

I don’t know if you can do it on the internet, but if you’re ever out west in the States, you should check out Navajo Radio. They don’t have equivalent words for some things either, so it’s odd to listen to something being said in Navajo then “124 Mainstreet”.

I’m pleased to see that Welsh is now being offered by “Rosetta” and several other language-teaching companies. Perhaps you should take a course from one of them so you can have…unphilosophical conversations? I am tempted to get one myself!

"Urgh. I am never drinking again.

This time, I mean it."

then

"It was a fun weekend, and hopefully Iâ€™ll do it again sometime. Ian and Ste and whoever else are already planning on coming over to Llandudno for a few drinks and to watch the cricket in early August, but Iâ€™m in charge of organising that. Woe!"
