Oi! Bryn! Good Welsh name by the way. Is that one of your family photographs?

[Bryn]

Don't you know your great great uncle Rebecca when you see him?

My mum's generation and I've lost touch. As Taylors, [name, not occupation], a mite difficult to trace. But my mother had a lovely set of two Welsh ladies in full costume with a separate tea table making three pieces of a rather well made ornament. I gave them to Roland Rees, a Welsh friend,and his wife, some time ago.

Quote. "Much more alarming - and I'm willing to bet other two-wheelers have exprienced this - is passing motorists, usually young or youngish, who lean out from their cars when passing me while cycling, and shout, "WAAAAAAAGH!!!".



I've had this! On my bike.
also get the young youngish blokes walking as slow as they can in front of me on purpose in a wot you going to do about it way.

So I just run into them!

Oh, of course Bryn. He was riotous!!

I'm not blessed with any Welsh relatives, but I do know that Welsh people exist because I can almost hear some of them saying "look you" and, when I do so, I can almost see some of them from yurr.

It could be arranged for it to be not the case Mr. H, could very possibly be arranged, if you should so wish to step across Offa's Dyke as to discuss dowries and terms of engagement? It might, of course, condemn you to a life of goats cheese and Brains beer.

Your offer is, to be sure, most kind and accordingly most deeply appreciated, my dear and goodly lady of Powys; the risk of proximity to goats' cheese nevertheless worries me and the implication that I'd need to become desirous of beer in order to develop my brains does so yet more, but at least you did the courtesy of omitting all mention of vegemite or papaya!

It's the medical profession that annoy me, calling me by my first name as if they were my best mates. They get it wrong, too, because like about a quarter of the population, my middle name is the one I use. No wonder my blood pressure is always so damned high when they measure it - especially after half an hour's enforced listening to radio 2.

Recently as I was walking towards our local chippie a fellow getting into a white van shouted 'nice arse mate'. I looked round and without bothering to see if I knew him replied 'Thanks mate'.

When I told the missus she was not pleased with my response, said I should ignore such 'anonymous familiarity'.

I reckon there's some white van man joke going round. Must google to see.....

(P.S. my arse is, well it's OK!!)

Is that what they mean by 'making a smart crack'?

Cheeky!

unless, perhaps, he meant - "nice house, mate" ?

As in the song: "Arz is a nice arrse arz is / It's got no rats or marziz... "

I had to turn Andrew Landsley to the wall when I was in hospital
