Conversation with my girlfriend the other day:
Scene: I am watching rugby on tv:
Her: Who's playing?
Me: Australia vs The Ba Bas.
Her: Oh, the Welsh?

That's better. I can only say two sentences in Welsh, which translate as "My name is Lucy and I live in London. I love Graham Coxon from Blur". I have no idea how to write them though.

This is from growing up 20 miles from the Welsh border and not necessarily reliable, as fierce wars were fought long ago over where that border should go.
According to SC4 soap "Pobl y Cwm" (people of the valley), welsh for sausage sandwich is (lilt now) "sausage sandwich".

Either Pennsylvania or New Jersey -- I think the latter -- organizes itself into "townships", abbreviation "twp", and on the highway each of them gets a sign -- "Twp of Gloucester", "Twp of West Fleurville", and so on. Surely there must be a joke somewhere about the Welshman who comes to NJ and asks "Twp, twp, twp -- so where might one find the Call of West Fleurville, then?"
(Och, that was ofnadwy.)

I just found out that "popty ping" is Welsh language slang for "microwave". This entertains me. A lot.
