It's important not to let it get your goat. BTW: "Welch var. of WELSH" ~ T. F. HOAD. "Welch." The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology. 1996. ;)

I guess finding that has left you feeling not so sheepish! Never let someone pull the wool over your eyes with the correct spelling. But dont lambent your earlier guilt, its not a point to be moot on! (bet you cant find all the puns! ;))

AKA Lord of 'what the fuck is that'. (By the way, did you know 'dd' in welsh is pronounced 'th'. 'll' is pronounced in an almost impossible to describe way, something akin to 'lchl', but then again, nothing like it... :) )

I had someone try to teach me how to stick my tongue behind my teeth and blow out of both sides of my mouth but not the center. It's something i suspect you learn as a child or never.

Is that the land or the people? I believe that Cymru is Wales in Brythonic Celtic, and that their name for themselves is Brith (as in Britain, Prythian, Briezh Bryth or any of the other variants. Hence 'Bara brith' 'welsh bread'.

Yes, this proves Dalek Dave wrong in their assertions that Welch should be spelt Cymru. Of course this often happens when people of some intelligence but limited thought proffer their opinions. (Gotcha again Dave. Given up yet? :P )

Hi Jon, I got a new laptop and I lost the link to "You know what". I tried to send you a private message but it seems you cannot that anymore. Can you send me a private message if you can? If it is not possible, I will just fire up the old laptop and copy the link by hand.

OK, but try again to send me an email for the fun of it. I can see the private email permission checked

Thats not where it is. One of the choices when you open up a message (in between reply and view thread) is "send email"

Nope, you were competing; I evolved from pissed off, through slightly annoyed and now I’m a little bored.

With you? Don't be absurd. Competing with you would be like having a rock fight with someone standing at the bottom of a well. I admit to having had lots of fun at your expense, but that is because you made yourself into a figure of ridicule.
