So there was this flasher, getting older, slowing down, worrying more about getting caught. He started thinking about retirement but his final decision was that he would stick it out for a few more years.

Why don’t you shorten it in colloquial situations to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerych?

I was shocked by the electricity bill last month.
I went like ”Watt?” when I saw it.
But now the tension is zero.

Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG are, I believe, the usual abbreviations. The origin of the name is unclear according to Wikipedia, but may have been a publicity stunt.

I am simply happy that my favorite whisky is from Scotland and not Wales.

I can still remember a silly joke from the British 1970s TV comedy The Goodies.

People get into a railway carriage at a railway station.

Through the carriage window we can see the start of the station sign, "Llanfairpwll...".

As the train moves off, we see the name on the sign slowly pass outside the window, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch".

When "...gogogoch" appears, the train stops and everyone gets out of the train.

Here's a link to the episode. It's "The Goodies," Season 05, Episode 04, "Wacky Wales."



Sorry that the video link has some unskippable ads, but it was all I could find. The train scene stars at around 4:30, if you don't want to watch the whole episode.

I think this has been posted here before, so not inappropriate.

I thought that we were in the time of Idiocracy. Maybe it's something to do with Event Horizon and The Black Hole.

Relativity of simultaneity says you can't be sure. Alderaamada paradox and all that.

While we're on the fururistic subject, George Jetson was born just 12 days ago. Didn't see that on the chart either.
