Sheep Shape
 
Welsh Sheep, Shepherds, Sheepdogs
 

Lothorien Cottage looks out across the hills of the Amman Valley with soft scatterings of the inevitable sheep that are so much part of the signature of the Welsh landscape.

Most people had no idea what a talented breed they were before they saw the Baaa Studs video, proudly filmed on a local hillside....
Now we know what Welsh shepherds and their sheepdogs do to wind down after a long day out in the hills.

Lost in Translation
baaa stud video wales shepherds and sheepdogs, welsh humour, welsh jokes

Above: This is a photograph of an actual road sign which Swansea Council put up. They needed to have a Welsh version of the "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only."

The Welsh on the sign reads:
"I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."

Apparently, they emailed the translator who unfortunately was out of the office. They received an auto-responder which was in Welsh and must have presumed he was a very fast translator indeed. Happy to have found a solution so quickly, they added the "translation" to the sign and sent it to be installed on the highway.

Beyond Beyond
Two Welshmen, Dylan and Glyn, are sitting on a park bench reading their newspapers.

Dylan notices the headline, '12 Brazilian Soldiers Killed.'

Turning to Glyn, Dylan (Dull'un) enquires, 'Just how many is a Brazilian?'

The Road to Perdition
The Reverend Huw Jones, a Minister from Wales, was travelling home one night and was greatly annoyed when a young man, much the worse for drink, came and sat next to him on the bus.

'Young man,' the Minister, declared in a rather pompous tone, 'do you not realise you are on the road to perdition?'

'Oh, hell and botheration,' retorted the drunkard, 'I could have sworn this bus went to Llanelli.'

The Quickest Way
A well spoken English gentleman entered into a pub in Llandeilo and drawled, 'Which is the quickest way to get to Swansea from here?'

Rhys Owen, the landlord answered, 'Are you walking or going by car?'

The Englishman answered, 'Well, by car, of course, my man.'

'That's the quickest way,' retorted the landlord smartly.

Taffia

I went to Swansea last week and had a run in with the Taffia, the welsh contingent of the Mafia;

They made me an offer I couldn't understand...
