That's all well & good, but it barely makes up for being Welsh Tal's fan.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Bolton Wanderers fans could travel more than 6,000 miles
If you don't have the Welsh accent, does that mean you have that horrible hybrid scouse/manc/north welsh accent?

Re: Bolton Wanderers fans could travel more than 6,000 miles
There are two classic, caricature, Welsh accents .... the Valley's 'Windsor Davies' one and the Welsh-Welsh of the North-West where English is clearly a second language .... they sound like they are crying when they speak.
The ludicrous Swansea accent, as advertised in Gavin & Stacey is becoming better known.
Within that there are many variations. The proper Wrexham accent has to be heard to be believed .... it can cut holes in glass. Cardiff has a similar tone to a Scouse accent, oddly .... maybe it's the port that did that.
The north coast from Queensferry to Conway has the Scouse/Manc hybrid referred to due to so many living there and also working or shopping in Cheshire, Wirral, Merseyside and Manchester. You should see the direction the TV aerials point all along that area .... & recent uproar as the Welsh Language fascists impose themselves into damn near everything. The recent TV retuning for digital and new transmitters specifically set to overpower Winter Hill has had significant backlash. This has meant round here that Wirral, parts of Chester and up to Frodsham, Shrewsbury and even Southport have been swamped by these. Border lands from Chester to Chepstow are being swamped. There is a manual fix but in some cases this is inadequate. Imagine your evening news prattling on about Pontypridd and Llanelli every night when you live 40 min from Manchester.

Re: Bolton Wanderers fans could travel more than 6,000 miles
I just recall not even being able to get Channel 4, let alone Granada. 3 channels all biased towards Welshness. Telly was depressing then
Re: Bolton Wanderers fans could travel more than 6,000 miles
nearest one of them to me is Yeovil (90mins on the bike) - the rest are all fecking miles away!

Re: Bolton Wanderers fans could travel more than 6,000 miles
I could do a small section of the South Western Canal in my canal-kayak and maybe a bit of the Bridgewater & Taunton canal - but the rest would be portage...Harry Genshaw wrote:A sea kayak perhaps but if it's one of those Canadian hybrid things...mrkint wrote:thebish wrote:nearest one of them to me is Yeovil (90mins on the bike) - the rest are all fecking miles away!

Best get your arse on a train up to a London game then if the kayaking will prove too tricky.thebish wrote:I could do a small section of the South Western Canal in my canal-kayak and maybe a bit of the Bridgewater & Taunton canal - but the rest would be portage...Harry Genshaw wrote:A sea kayak perhaps but if it's one of those Canadian hybrid things...mrkint wrote:thebish wrote:nearest one of them to me is Yeovil (90mins on the bike) - the rest are all fecking miles away!

Re: Bolton Wanderers fans could travel more than 6,000 miles
We live in a space-time continuum. It might be feckin miles, but it's not that long. It takes me about an hour to reach the nearest centre of civilisation - I could be halfway across the Atlantic in that time.thebish wrote:i will probably do that - but it is still fecking miles away!Gooner Girl wrote: Best get your arse on a train up to a London game then if the kayaking will prove too tricky.
That's not a leopard!

not in/on a kayak, you couldn't... unless you were strapped to it in the cargo-hold of a *plane...Lost Leopard Spot wrote:We live in a space-time continuum.

i much prefer the south-wales accent to the north wales - everything-is-stuck-in-my-throat accent...bobo the clown wrote:There are two classic, caricature, Welsh accents .... the Valley's 'Windsor Davies' one and the Welsh-Welsh of the North-West where English is clearly a second language .... they sound like they are crying when they speak.

South Wales is fine. Quite sing-song and soft. North Wales, particularly the Lleyn Peninsula and the Plaid Cwmru heartland, can feck off.
