I've been spending
A lot of time in Wales of late.
The accent isn't much of a problem for me, but some of the words they use are either totally made up, or have a different meaning to the English-version.

I got warned that I "might get skagged" when we were walking around an abandoned military base.
Of course, I set about looking for discarded, dirty needles.
Turns out that "skag" means "scratch", not "heroin".

I love the Welsh accent
I blame Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Of course
Welsh has regional variations too. It's just that most non-Welsh people can't hear them.

Yeah!
I'm getting the hang of the South Wales ones now.
I can kinda tell if someone's from "The Valleys" or Newport by their voice.
Or if they're from Cwmbran, I can tell by their cold, dead eyes.

my ex was welsh, welsh was her first language. used to get woken up by high-pitched, swansea accent, welsh at 7 on a saturday morning if her arse of a father phoned her.
