there are some nice welsh accents
but they come from a very small part of Wales.

My ex was properly Welsh, from Swansea, but had cultivated a posh English accent.

One thing I noticed while hanging out with a lot of Welsh speakers and Welsh people generally is that they drop their t's and things like that a lot less than most English people would do.

there are some jobs that are just made better by having a welsh person do them. Tour guide is one, I'm sure registrar will be another.

and he knows all about everything, despite being 16. Unless he's making it up.

I'm undecided. I've seen a facebook page which is apparently his, and I could believe he is what he says. Others are fairly certain he's not.

Frankly he seems kind of boring and needy, whereas other newbies aren't

I was well excited to read that article yesterday. New Puscifer, APC are touring with 'good energy' so may get new songs, and Tool are writing.

My Creative Zen is 60Gb, but I use that for video. Which, when you think about it, is pretty stupid, considering the ipod touch has twice the screen size.

my shuffle is 2Gb
but that suits me. It doesn't take long to change stuff and it means I listen to random things from the big collection on my computer.

I've discovered some great music I didn't know I had because of it. Or brilliant albums from artists where I just have all of their albums but only listened to one or two.
