wales

[Jon Shannow]

I know OF Wales but I don't know much about it. I always assumed it was part of the UK but after seeing this thread I now know it's not. It not even 8 AM here and I've already learned something.

Wales is part of the UK

 

[Jon Shannow]

Also: what do you call a sheep tied to a lamppost in Llangollen?
...
A leisure centre!

You're too late. Someone's already used that one

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I know of Wales, but not much about the country or the people. They have a cool flag though.

 

[Chronologger]

Wales should get a little bit more recognition now that we have a premiership football team.

What would happen if you dropped a hydrogen bomb on Swansea City?

About £5 in damage.

 

[FamoFunk]

What do you call a sheep tied to a post in Cardif?

No idea, but I'm going with stolen, you don't get Sheep in Caaaaa'diff!

I'm from Wales, and I'm Welsh, obviously.

It's nice here, I live in the Valleys surrounded my Sheep, not far from Cardiff.
I have a very strong accent apparently and randomly start talking Welsh half way through an English sentance.

Also: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch

 

[Embz]

also plz english people dont put up any sheep-shagger jokes i just want to know what the view of wales is in forign lands.

Aww, but it just isn't English culture without making fun of the Welsh. and French. and Americans. and most other British people.
Actually, now I think of it, we pretty much hate everyone.

And truth be told, Everyone hates England too. It is amazing how it works like that, don't you think?

Alright, let's test these Internationals some Welshicana.
What is the longest place name in Wales (Maybe even the world)?

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

 

[TheRealCJ]

My knowledge of Wales extends to that one lady with the big teeth in that Dr. Who spinoff.

 

[TehChef]

These are the things I know about Wales (I'm an American):

Rob Brydon, and that a sheep tied to a post in Cardiff is a leisure centre.

 

[MaxwellEdison]

Most Americans don't really know the difference between Britain and England and UK, just kinda using all of those terms to refer to the entire island. Scotland is known well, but its role in that group isn't, and Wales sorta passes under the radar.

Speaking for myself, I know of Wales mainly as "that place that the English make fun of a lot".
Sorry.

 

[googleback]

I'm English but I have some family in Wales, its an abseloutley stunning country.

And now to balance it out;

WALES!
Where men are men, and sheep are nerveous

 

[CloudKiller]

Wales should get a little bit more recognition now that we have a premiership football team.

What would happen if you dropped a hydrogen bomb on Swansea City?

About £5 in damage.

Depends on the explosive yield and what part gets hit. If it lands in the Townhill area then five pounds is about right, although in the more affluent areas like the Morfa area or the city centre then it may get up to about eight or nine pounds.

 

[Cool Welshy]

Very Good.

Dude! don't even joke! The Economy couldn't take a hit like that...

 

[SckizoBoy]

I seem to recall that Powys has the highest frequency of idiotic police call outs: vampires; witches; zombies; and aliens.

Russell Kane: You'd really wonder why any alien would wish to invade Wales, they'd have a hard time pronouncing the place names. 'People of Lla... *ahem* People of Lla... oh sod it, let's go to England!'

 

[Ithera]

It's hard to compete against Scotland and Ireland. They usually hog all the attention. Wales has always been a quiet place, a little like Scotland but without William Wallace and a score of successful independence battles.

 

[maninahat]

As an Englishman, I can honestly say that Wales is my favourite third world country.

Ah, in all honesty, one of my best friends is Welsh (so I can't ever be racist, derp), and the poor guy gets a huge amount of stick for it. They're even lower than the Irish in the pecking order of acceptable targets for making un-pc jokes at.

 

[WrongSprite]

I'm half Welsh, and at uni in Aberystwyth. Love the place myself, even if it is a tad rainy sometimes.

cool im at cearleon uni myself also wahts youre other half? if i may be so nosey.

Just plain old English English Dad, Welsh Mam.

 

[Nickolai77]

Wales is a nice place, but an easy target for jokes i'm afraid. I find it's language interesting because it's so bloody strange.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I have a welsh name, so I guess out of association I try to avoid making judgements based on stereotypical preconceptions. Been there a couple of times and really doesn't seem anything out of the ordinary, then again I went to Cardiff and I think really wherever you go major cities in a country all seem to uphold a certain standard of quality.

 

[DSK-]

I love the Welsh. They can take a joke just like Scots. Having said that, Welsh is a funny old language to listen to
