Vote for the Wilsh Liberol Demoncrats
Sunday, April 08, 2007

On another note, (everyone else has blogged about it so I suppose I should mention it too)... further proof today that Lembit 'it's always sunny in Transylvania' Opik is an electoral liability, according to the Wales on Sunday. If I could intervene here: as a moderately young person I've heard nothing but praise for the under-fire Welsh Lib Dem leader emanating from the lager-splashed lips of my peers. What's the big deal? Last I heard the Lib Dems were branding themselves as a party for the yoof. So, as my mates would say, 'fair play innit'.

'maniffesto' - looks like it's bee written by a Welsh-speaker. I always do it. Other tell-tale signs that a Welsh-speaker has written a piece:
1. write 'fideo', 'ffilm' and 'ffoto' in English sentences.
2. Apostrophise or - o'r (as in the Welsh).
3. a total inability to remember the difference between 'lend' and 'borrow' as the word 'benthyg' in Welsh covers both things.

hehe, you're probably right. I'm being a little bit harsh.
I always love it when Welsh speaking kids (like my little sister) spell English using Welsh phonetics. So for computer you get compiwtar and for book you get bwc.
I must have done it myself up to a certain age. Now I have the reverse problem of being unable to spell (let alone treiglo) in the language I was brought up to speak. - At 8:47 pm, said...

Lembit should perhaps heed the words of DR Hook:

I always blamed my cegin-Cymraeg for my inability to get double letters in English - neccessary - and have always spelled Orange as Orenge - Or maybe I'm just a bit twp...
