From: Dave the Gnome We had our own session at the Coach Inn in Clynnog Fawr (Klingon Four to those who can only speak English and Klingon...) The landlord at the time was a Scouser and was quite happy to let us play as long as we were drinking. Good pint of Pedigree with added Vitamin Headache, so on the second night opted for the absolutely wonderful Mitchells Mild. Visit the Iron Age barrow if you get there - Eerie place. Cheers Dave |

16 Oct 08 - 03:00 PM (#2467565) Subject: RE: Llyn Peninsula - sessions? From: Dave the Gnome It's pronounced more like Hclane, I think. One of the funniest things I heard was in the the Coach. Two blokes speaking in Welsh One said Hclllwww wwwcckkk trwcluwwee - usual stuff - and the other one replied "F***ing Black and Decker!" D |
