wales

[Tiger Sora]

I know of Wales..... it stopped being important along time ago. Minus the 2 world wars. *Wanders off because Wales is boring... most likely to Ireland*

Y'all have some mighty long words that rival finnish in complexity, and a friend of mine says that "you've got to have a pint of saliva in your mouth just to pronounce a city name there". Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't merill from Dragon Age 2 have a welsh accent? Or was that just me? Also, you have a kick-ass flag, but in general you're stupidly underrepresented in the entertainment world.

I'm not so sure about the last part, although I guess you could argue that wales itself isn't well represented, but a lot of really well known BBC productions seem to be from wales.
(Doctor Who for instance. - Kind of weird, really, because when David Tennant was the doctor, it meant we had a welsh production company, making a series frequently set in london, Starring a scottish man pretending to have an English accent. - Yeah... All it's missing is some arbitrary northern Irish stuff...)

I hardly know anything about Wales and I'm from there...

I don't think I'll be going back there much now though, might be living in England forever...it's better there anyway.

...Wales isn't a country, you're a part of the U.K..
All I know is that it's part of the U.K., on the Island of Great Britain.

I remember the first time I heard something in Welsh (the AV thingy) I seriously thought she was speaking Elvish. But I've known of Wales for ages, don't really know much about it other than it being the butt of jokes by Englishmen.

I don't see how anyone could miss the whole "Prince of Wales", anyone who was alive in the 90's heard nonstop about Diana.

Things that come to mind are castles, Manic Street Preachers, greenness, bilingual population, and Britain... It is part of Britain, right? I'll look it up.

As a Welsh person, I am therefore obligated to ask any and all Americans to try their hand at saying this out loud:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanfairpwllgwyngyll]

[small]Linked to prove that it the name is a real place.[/small]

I've lived in several places in the country; was born in Penarth, but I think of myself mostly as from the Rhondda.

*EDIT* Damn you, ninjas!

I tried. I'm not American, though. I'm hoping someone will record their attempt and post it.

can i just ask, one welshmen to another. do you actualy know why you have english people? if you honestly dont hate then thats cool my bad, but i have lived most of my life (except last 3 years) in wales and everyone hates england, but for no logical reason! maybe because many many hundreds of years ago wales was pwned in a war with england. still too soon?

Honestly, I have no idea too. But if I had to guess, it could be because they hate us. That or rugby.

see i thought that, but i live in england now and i have never heard a single person say something bad about wales, and yet in wales its hate by everyone around my generation and older/younger generations. its not a 2 way thing. it just seems to come from the welsh side. crazy stuff.
