    :smuggrin: OK you Ozzies and US Guys. Never mind trying to master the English Language, have a visit to Welsh Wales and try your luck with a Language that most of the Welsh Don't understand either. :eek:

    The Word in the Title is something about a Church in the Valley and is said all as one word, When I was a Kid, we were taught how to say this and a few more Phrases, I gave up :shifty:

    That word!:singing: said with a singing voice as much of that language is.:eek:

    Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a city in Wales with 58 letters making up its name, it is the longest city in Great Britain. The English translation of the name is: St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool of Llantysilio of the Red Cave.

    Trivia at it's best :whistling: I have met 1 or 2 Taffs ( Welsh, Cymry's) here in Dumaguete and neither could speak "Crymu" But if they Could well what a run they could give to the Bisyan's

    JP:bag: and if you are Bored today let me help with some light Reading :thumbsup:

    Just as a side note here, there is a Town in Patagonia ARGENTINA that speaks Welsh. :jawdrop:

    When I first looked at the title I was about to delete it as spam. I've been getting a lot of spam contact emails with random letters being typed and I thought they had found a way to make posts.

    That is sure the longest, however this one may not me as long, but it could compete in a clapping contest perhaps?

    What about the Australian shearer who had the smallest penis in the shed, or so everyone thought, he only had enough length on it to tattoo the word " wool ". However when the bosses voluptuous curvy wife came into the shed on a hot summers day to help out with the wool classing, wearing very short shorts and and plunging neckline top with no bra and bare midrif - the tattoo then spelt " wooloomooloo " :hilarious:

    When I read that name it sounds absolutely nothing like that.
