If I know @JakeGould–and I've seen him around these and other FMU parts for quite a while now, consistently–I'm calling "ironic" on those ALL-CAPS there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
mariano:

Welsh does have that one sound, the way they pronounce "LL" which is kind of like a slurred "thl."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
coelacanth:

i may (probably?) have some welsh in me, and i don't get it... but i do quite like to hear a woman singing in welsh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
mariano:

There's a great old movie with Alec Guinness about two Welsh country boys who win tickets to go see a soccer match in London, and they get lost and have all kinds of misadventures. But there's this one scene where one of them wants a beer at a pub after last call, and the barkeep tells him it's the law, and he says scornfully "You and your Saxon laws!" Always made me chuckle.
