Hello old stock. Myself and the lads have been pinting away here in Cardiff since Wednesday, Hoggy got so pissed last night he nearly understood what one of the locals was saying. Is it just me or do all the Welsh sound like Danny Healy-Rae with a sinus infection? It’s impossible to chat up their birds when you haven’t a clue what they’re on about, and I can’t see myself getting any love action, standing there nodding away and saying “I had a similar problem on my 40 foot yacht.” (My go-to line in Schull, works a treat.) Is there a translation app I can use?
– Reggie, Blackrock.
