More madness than method but it works for me.
I'm English, but we can get S4C on digital TV now and I like watching it, I find it really interesting. I don't like Pobol Y Cwm though, it's boring.Originally Posted by Ezri

I have to agree, I managed less than 1 minute when I first came to Wales and got Sky instead.Originally Posted by TATY

yeah holy crap that show was boring the entire like 7 minutes of that clip was just those people talking in that car dealership... WHO CARES?
Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
Um... How is the last word pronounced? I don't see any vowels. Is it an abbreviation?Pobol Y Cwm
According to http://www.cymraeg.ru, "w" IS vowel in Welsh (at least, between consonants). Sounds as "у" (I mean, Russian "у"). Here:Originally Posted by gRomoZeka

-- I found this word: "cwm" -- ‘долина’ (valley), pronounced "кум".
(But I still don't know, what is "pobol". )
P.S. Another fine example from the quoted site: "Rwsieg" seems to mean "Russian".

Serves you right for sitting through the whole 7 minutes! :POriginally Posted by Dogboy182

Cwm is pronounced Coom here. The W is usually sounded as 'OO'.Originally Posted by Scorpio
I have no idea what Pobol means either.

I believe Pobol means people. I think Pobol y Cwm is "People in the valley" or something.

Ah, not thats sounds like the kind of unimaginative thing Welsh TV would come up with.Originally Posted by TATY

the logic of using the letter W to pronounce oo is ridiculous. thats why the written language looks so garbled. its lie dxps is pronounced KART (i made that example up for emphasis )
Pobol y Cwm (People of the Valley) is produced since 1974 and it's 9.2/10 on imdb.com. Someone even called it a "Best soap in Britain".
Here's a trivia from Wikipedia:
Brandon Monk and Julie Hughes used to be husband and wife.
Chris has been sacked from the garage after it was found that he was supplying drugs from there.
Chris died recently after (seemingly) deliberately taking an overdose. However, Brandon and Garry have since uncovered evidence to suggest that an old rival Ronald Steadman may have murdered Chris.
Ronald Steadman was indeed guilty; and was jailed for six years for various offences though not the murder.
Denzil Rees had his prize ram stolen in July 2007.
Looks like this little village isn't a happy place.
Using "w" for u-sound is a bit weird, agreed.Originally Posted by Lt. Columbo
But, comparing it with all known weirdnesses of *english* orthography...
Yeah, looks so.Originally Posted by gRomoZeka
