| 821637 | 2009-10-18 05:02:00 | ... And heres me thinking that first phrase was the reply to an irate Irish housewifes cellphone call to her errant husband. 'Where in the name of the mother of God are you, Patrick O'Reilly?!' 'Ahh.. Diwrnod Da Pawb.' (Down at the pub) :waughh: You learn something new every day. |

| 821638 | 2009-10-18 07:32:00 | And roughly translated Diwrnod Da Pawb means "Gidday youse guys!" or "Ahh do!" or "Talofa lava tagata uma!" or "Dobré ráno všem" or Bonjour à tous" Yup Good Day Everybody. By the time I was Nine I was beginning, albeit haltingly, to converse in Welsh. All gone now tho. very sad. Nos Da Pawb. PJ |

| 821640 | 2009-10-18 17:32:00 | I think NZers in general have a nice non- accented speech. I can mimic every other English speaking country, but I don't think NZ has an accent. Yes the fish and chups thing is exagerated. Of course our Pacific and Maori communities do have an accent. |

| 821641 | 2009-10-18 17:42:00 | There is a NZ accent as such just listen to many of the young girls well late teens girls they have an accent very similar to that penny girl that sometimes does the TV3 weather. Poppa John how can you get homesick? Go back for a visit you will change your mind on the first day, or even as you step off the plane. I could never go back to live | gary67 (56) | ||

It's the symbol of the Czech Republic: www.flickr.com But there are reputed to be ancient links between Wales and the Czech Republic. Maybe the lion-dragon is one of them. |

I could never go back to live I could go back,but then I am from Derbysire. I was back for 6 weeks in 07 and tired of walking round Deryshire. All my school chums have done as well as me,or better.
