The trick is to get someone else to pronounce it, and when he/she has finished, reply "that's easy for <em>you</em> to say" !! Brianf - On the pints at three? Fair play! I know I was 18 months because I described my mothers housecoat to her years later, and she told me she had thrown it out just after we moved house [from next door!]. I was 18 months old when we moved. Baino - Sniffing glue and rubber. An unbeatable combination...... Rosie - I haven't been in that library since. I'd say it has changed a bit since the 50s? It used to be Adults on the ground floor, and Children upstairs. Kirk M – Try saying it when you are drunk!

Baino – Sniffing glue and rubber. An unbeatable combination……

Rosie – I haven’t been in that library since. I’d say it has changed a bit since the 50s? It used to be Adults on the ground floor, and Children upstairs.

Also atop a bicycle shop coincidentally. DrummerBoy and I would spend hours marvelling at fully functional toy railways and replica planes. Sadly it was burned down last year and they never rebuilt. I loved the smell of airfix glue and brand new bicycles. We used to have an amazing model shop. Also atop a bicycle shop coincidentally.

It felt like the whole world was downstairs and I had awakend from a nap. I climbed out of my crib and made my way to the stairs. Here is where I did the backward down-climb that all toddlers do when navigating a staircase. After making my way to the first floor I toddled around checking everyone out. I was in the living room when I spied my grandfathers glass of beer. I have no doubt it was Ballentine Ale. I made my way towards it and picked it up and toddled off with it. At this point I could say that my next memory was waking up with two beautiful babes beside me in bed but I'd be lieing. For fucks sake I was about 3 years old. I do remember my Aunt Theresa taking the glass of beer from me in the kitchen and all the grownups laughing about me walking around with a glass of beer. I was placated with a glass Welsch's grape juice. I have no idea how old I was but I was still in a crib. It felt like the whole world was downstairs and I had awakend from a nap.

By the way, I looked up <i>Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch</i> on Wikipedia (congrats on the spelling by the way, picked it right up) and not only is there a rather large article on the village itself but an embedded audio player that plays the correct pronunciation of the name. The guy doing the pronouncing sounds authentic but you'd have to judge for yourself. You sound like a kindred spirit, Grandad.

Unless you have stated a dislike to the things [and therefore absolved yourself], you will either have to snog Mary Harney, or burn forever in hell. Take your pick.

I will wait to see if I get any more questions first, before answering. Looks like no one is interested! Grannymar - The best shop in town. Climbing those steps was like climbing the stairs to heaven - especially if I had 2/6 in my sweaty hand! Ian - I did wonder about the Standing Stones and an appropriate place to hang it. I don't think a Rectory hallway would work? Eolaí – My pleasure. I will wait to see if I get any more questions first, before answering. Looks like no one is interested!

The standing stones look interesting, but would perhaps not be the best choice for a Rectory hallway.
