Family Outings

[Nick]

Always a source of anxiety and usually disastrous. YOu may recall our bloodsoaked trip to Conwy a while back and thos American tourists we firghtened.

Mrs Nick has sprung one one me! We are leaving tomorrow morning for a day trip to a remote part of Wales. Our objective? An all day meeting of the Welsh Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign 

Apparently there will be singing. And Central American snacks. And Welsh people. And the whole thing takes place in the national Tree Huggers Centre at Machynnleth (you try saying it!)

We cannot wait!

Machynlleth.

What a nice place.  I used to work there at a field office occasionally.

Mac - hunt - l -eth.

Renown for tree hugging conventions and all others that can't afford a decent venue.
South American countries have thrived there for decades.  I think they try to appeal to the Welsh nationalistic viewpoint of being the poor neighbour.

I can feel Political Incorrectness sort of welling up inside me

[Miss Demeanour]

Have you been out at lunchtime to practice Nick?

[Darwins Selection]

Mrs Nick . . .the Welsh Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign 

  Had you thought to ask if they can demonstrate the old Nicaraguan tradition of "Disappearing" (v) people?

Well done Bouncer ~ I was about to offer a phonic pronunciation but you beat me to it. Nick must however remember that the Welsh do not place a stress or emphasis on syllables the way the English do. Thus all syllables are given the same emphasis.
AND that is why Huw Edwards sounds so odd when he reads the news.


Hmm the quote function appears to have errrr..... misfunctioned. The Nick Effect I 'spect.

So in other words we can expect to find that Nicaragua has declared war on Wales in the near future then
