Any good comedy Welsh phrases people know??? (Im sure people do this for other nationalities but Welsh is the one's Ive heard). Here's one to kick off (read with a welsh accent)...

"See those two houses over there? ...mine's the one in the middle"

    "Whose boots are them shoes?"

    "Whose coat is that jacket?"

    "It's hanging on the floor."

    "I'll be there now, in a minute."
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    My favourite from my Welsh lessons was: "Mae hi'n bwrw cyllyll a ffyrc" - its raining knives and forks...

    "I'll be there now in a minute" is the only one I genuinely hear out of that lot. The other one I actually hear that get raised in these sorts of things is "she's under the doctor with her back" but I'm not sure if that's just a Welsh thing or not. "Over by there / here (pronounced 'yer')" is another favourite of us lot over by yer.

    Not a phrase I know;

    The All Blacks were playing England, and after the half-time whistle blew, they found themselves ahead 80-0, Jonah Lomu getting ten tries. The rest of the team decided to head for the pub instead of playing the second half, leaving Jonah to go out on his own.

    “No worries,” Jonah told them, “I’ll join you later and tell you what happened.” After the game Jonah headed for the pub where he told his team mates the final score – 150-3.

    “What?!”, they said, “How did you let them get three points?”

    Jonah replied apologetically: “I was sent off with 20 minutes to go.” :D

    Rhys: Doctor, I can’t stop singing the Green, Green Grass of Home.

    Doctor: That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.

    Rhys: Is it common?

    Doctor: It’s not unusual.

    Cab driver Rhys Jones was taking an American tourist from Bristol to Cardiff. When they were going over the Severn Bridge, the American told Rhys he had a longer bridge on his ranch in Montana. When they arrived in Cardiff, Rhys showed him Cardiff Castle and he said his garage in Montana was twice as big and only took a week to build.

    When the tourist spotted the Millennium Stadium, he asked Rhys what it was.

    Rhys replied: “I don’t know, mate, it wasn’t there this morning.”

    I've been to Swansea. Nice. A recent earthquake there caused £2M pounds worth of improvement.

    I've never felt so Welsh; and I am Welsh :D

    Funny what you remember..

    " Follow me. I'm right behind you".

    "I'll be there now, in a minute",

    Not urban myths as I used to hear them often when I lived in Newport.

    Surely that should be "we da talk propers down by yer likes" in Newport? You can never add enough 's' onto the end of words. Never works the same in a proper (non-Newport) accent though.

    Always liked Newport. Used to spend many happy a night in Secos (sorry about spelling), was upset to hear of his death a few years back.

    Heck. I even married a girl from Newport, and I still like the place.

    Ditto on the first but hate the place (I officially live there but only because the council area covers my village :( )

    TJs was about the only good thing Newport had and now even that is shut down and boarded up.
