Iesu Grist!

I swear, the DNN radio news network is appalling! *shakes head in bemusement* I know Welsh is tricky for non-speakers - especially those who don't live in the country - but some of the mistakes they make are unbelievable!

Tonight's example: There was just a news item about Ian McKellan doing a remake of The Prisoner, and the newsreader happily declared that the original series was filmed in Port Marie-On!

It's Port-My-Ree-On you numpties! Do some bloody research before you record these things, so you don't make yourselves look like complete pillocks!

*exhales*

Ddu dda...

I am not sure if I can textually render my pronunciation. I am trying to figure out how, and I just can't. Maybe a cross between what I think you are saying it is and what the announcer said. Not sure. Kinda like Mary-on, but you have to realize that that is three syllables, not two, and a soft "a".

Both times that I went there, we stayed at B&B's. Not sure how we got to the resort from there. But it is a dream of mine, to stay there. Such a cool place.
