Weekend

No Ben you have done a very full account of what happened friday although you have missed a few points...

Firstly, in Squares, they played 1000 Trees by Sterophonics, now this doesnt mean alot to most people, but its a tradition to play that song at some point during the night in Cardiff. Its kinda like Comon Irine or, A 1000 Miles, I havent heard it in so long... Well no doubt you can guess I got very excited, jumped around a lot, and was very happy after that point. (till I lost at the damn casino)

Then Creation, the club is just excellent, no trouble, lots of great music, loads of places to chill out and lots of bars so you useually dont have to queue for a drink... everyone had a good time, Me and Ben were impressing ladies with our super sexy groove... I seem to remember doing the conga around the club at some point in the night???? Then they played the green green grass of home, which if I remember rightly, included a massive group dance between the 4 of us with me shouting until I was hoarse... wow great times.

Left the club about 2:30ish walked past the hilton which seemed to have a fire alarm going off and people were all coming out the hotel, as some irish chick in just a dressing gown proceeded to show us how she had nothing on underneath.... nice

Casino... yeh enough of that. I could say I lost £80, but i got 2 pepsi's out of it, so we could say I just bought 2 £40 glasses of pepsi.

We got home at 5:30am... great night we all vowed not to go home tomorrow but to stay out in cardiff.

Woke up at 10:30, we all vowed to go home. I felt fine, Jay was good, Ben was a bit quiet, Drew woke up and told me to fook off, so I think he was mildly hungover.

As ben said went to town, had lunch, went home, had chinease.

Sunday I went off to Straford Upon Avon to meet Emma :o) Got there ok, stayed in a lush hotel, which costs £130 a night, I only paid £50 as the hotel we were staying double booked us and so found us this place at no extra charge and threw in breakfast for inconvience. Nice. So there made my money back from casino :o)

Stratford is lovely, seen where shakspere was born, and lots of other little shops and dinky little resteraunts, finally went out to eat at a on the river, was lovely :o)
Monday we got up had brekkie, then went out to Warwick castle. That was really fun, they had live jousting and medevil battles. I suppose the place is designed for kids.... so i was well in my element. Booed the black night and cheered the white. Castle was pretty impressive. We both ended up going on the ghoust tour there, which is a tower cordoned off from the rest of the castle. As we queued to go in, me and em being first in the next party to go, we seen 3 kids about 10 come out the tower screaming crying... lol was quite funny, The tour was really good, plenty of people creaping up on you and jumping out on you.. hehe lots of fun.

Anyways, after that I decided to go back with Em to Corries place where she is staying and drove 2 hours to Oswestry. Had a fad tea cooked by Corrie's mum, wow it was awesome. With the best scones I have ever tasted... yummy!!!! Brought some back for the boys hehe. Went to the pub with Corrie and em and just chilled out, was really nice. Ended up heading back at 10, got to gloucester in 1hr and 10 mins and home in an hour and 20 mins... pretty good going :o)

Watched drew cut himself shaving then went to bed. Fab weekend :o)

I like the way the welsh spell, the use of extra letters here and there is brilliant. Do you not think?

TOSH said...

some words are spelt phonetically too :)

Our tax payers money goes on making their signs twice as big, as they insist on having their gay language on signs as well as our truly magnificent global dialect.

;o)

However, i've been to lap dancing clubs in Swansea and Cardiff and enjoyed them both very much.

As for the gay language thingy, You dont have to worry its not your Tax paying money that goes on that, just people living in the promised land.

Now, Welsh is a most peculiar language in that it appears to have words
which turn out to look more like acronyms, or the linguistic equivalent
of line noise. If you've ever seen Welsh written out, you know what I
mean -- each word is typically a bunch of consonants with a few vowels
sprinkled here and there for flavor, and is in no way connected with a
word that sounds like its Anglo-Latin equivalent. Take, for example,
the word "Wales" -- the name of their own country. They spell it
"CYMRU". Makes perfect sense, right? Yeah, thought so. It looks more
like an acronym for "Celtic Youth Mythical Research Union", or something
like that. And that's just one of the short words (ask someone who
is a bit more familiar with Welsh to come up with a longer one -- they
can achieve twenty or more letters in one word, and you're lucky if there's
more than two vowels in the bunch).

Well, we finally figured out what must have happened.

Ages ago, long before the latter 1500s, there must have been a large exodus
from Wales which eventually settled in what is now called Hawaii.

...and they took all the vowels with them when they left

The following letters appear in the Welsh, but not in the English, alphabet:

ch, dd, ff, ll, ng, ph, rh, th.

People often say, "That's a funny word ... it's got no vowels in it!" when they see Welsh words. This is because the Welsh language uses some additional vowels (w and y) to those used in the English language. The Welsh vowels are:

a, e, i, o, u, w, y.

I object all those letters are in the Englich Language.

Also english workd use "Y" as a vowel !!!

SKY, WHY both use y as a vowel
