He's clearly proud of himself - look at his face after he says it - made me smile anyways.

My mum can say it.

She never taught me, but I remembered the other day that I taught myself the (you'd have to be a certain age to remember this!) Lone Ranger song Tonto bit.. "Tarmakawakatani... " etc.. and (even older!) the Pepsi ad .. "Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastin... etc).

Weird kid huh? (or weirder that I still remember them?)

Well the user blocker bit is nothing to do with me - I don't use it. Every time I see one of JY's posts it does remind me to put a sig separator in the next update though!

LLanfair PG to the locals

Not exactly.

The village is actually called Llanfairpwyllgwyngyll, which is shortened to Llanfair PG. The long name is only the name of the station, which was made up by a Victorian entrepreneur specifically to be the longest placename in Europe as a tourist attraction.

Worked pretty well too.

Bloody Nora, Quantum Jump! A long time since I last heard that, cheers Dez! 😀
And the weatherman? Now that's just showing off!
I'll bet when he went off camera he did a little heel-spin and fist-pump, with a "Yes!"
