I know that this may not appropriate but a little humour sometimes goes a
long way and raises spirits; it certainly made me smile when I received it
;) (So sorry Em.....)

Two tourists driving through Wales in
Llanlyfryddawellejynafolybaaraidprindanfygythiatrienusyhafnauole
They stopped for lunch and asked the waitress
"before we order can you please settle an argument for us? Would you please
pronounce where we are very slowly?"

Waitress leaned over and said:

-
-
-
-
-
-
"Burr-gurrrr-kinngg"......

Well, it made me chuckle anyway!

Warm Hugs

Alayne

Hmmm. Apart from there being no 'j' in the Welsh alphabet
that's almost pronounceable! And yes, I did giggle at the
punch line :-)

If you can keep your head when all around are losing theirs...
then you've failed to grasp some important aspect of the
situation.

Same could be said for the waitress, and therefore I am taking the mickey
out of myself ;-)

I didn't know they had no J, I wonder what our J would be called in Welsh
then??

Well, Jane is Sian, and Janet is Sioned... OTOH 'garage' is
'garej'. No, I haven't a clue why. I guess we can have a
'j' when we need one :-)
