    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 )

        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! ;))

                    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.

                                  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.

                                      Nope, you were competing

                                      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.

                                        Oh no! I've told you another truth you don't want to hear! Are you going to post in the lounge about this, too? "Let's all us correct-think victims have us a necktie party, and string that mean old Jokeman up and hang him like the prick he is. As Bulgarians, it is our duty to make sure he is well hung!"
