Welsh World Champion.
On a day when a Welshman becomes a world champion, all the tabloids want to concentrate on is the Brits dismal performance in the Tour do France, (how can that start in England?) The British Grand Prix and Wimbledon.
So lets drink a toast to 40 year old, Bryan Evans of Bridgend. 2007 world bog snorkling triathalon champion.
To pronounce the 'LL' in Llanwrtyd, form your mouth as for an 'L' sound but don't engage your vocal chords, instead blow spit around the outside of your tounge in more of a 'TH' sort of sound.
Yes, I know, LL Cool J isn't quite as cool in mid' Wales.
So Llanwrtyd is pronounced 'Thlanour-tid'.

Bog Snorkeling is British slang for some kind of homosexual perversion, right?
I thought it was some pervert who liked to get dumped on.
I fancy giving the bog snorkelling on a bike a go....it looks a right laugh
Fuck. I wish i had known. I am certain I would have met the woman of my dreams had i gone...
I am finding myself mesmerized by the photos in the sidebar.
Shall comment on post later, once I have basked in the sexiness that is Tick.
Fewclewz..............
Ah yes, Bog Snorkeling along with Cheese Rolling........The rest of the world concerns itself with minority sports like Football, Tennis, swimming etc, but they know nothing of these ancient and spectator friendly examples of human endeavour! How culturaly barren they are!
tgf- It may well be something involving a jar of KY jelly, a pink sock and the ability to hold ones breath for long periods.
Pissoff- I think that may well be the donkey-bike-poo bog snorkling triathlon.
Beast- Yes, I liked the photo of the guy in a suit riding a bike through a bog trench.
Jungle Jane- I'm sure Llanwyrtd Wells would have been full of JJ friendly Tarzanettes.
Awaiting- Bask away. I'm currently taking ugly pills to prevent side bar melt down.
Fewclewz- Exactly. When are the rest of the world going to cotten on to Caber Tossing, Welly Flinging and my favourite Flinging the Dwile.
I am quite concerned that Wales is being associated with cool things, like Torchwood.
This must stop.
Bog snorkling and John Barrowman. :-0
Well, it ain't bragging if it's true... *tee hee*
I'm curious about what other "quirky sports" take place at Llanwrtyd Wells. Chutney Ferret Racing? The World Sausage Hiding Championships?
Mental Mac- Wales rocks!
Phlegmfatale- Exactly!
Qenny- My big sister and I have spent a few holidays in Llanwrtyd Wells. It's a quaint little village. I'm pretty sure some of the locals wouldn't approve of those sports......not in public anyway.
Unfortunately, Wales is still afflicted with Charlotte of Churchness.
She is most definitely NOT cool.
Please sign my petition below, to extradite her. Thx.
We, the undersigned wish to boot her fagbreathness, Charlotte Lardyarse Church, out of Wales and into the wheelie bin of Britain, England.
FT
Ft's friends (x 2000)
Imp (although I haven't asked her)
Other people wot I know (x3,4682823,7587854000)
Was first prize an all-expense paid trip to the psychiatric ward?
having read the account i am left wondering if marrying ones' close kin might not be a local sport as well?
Ffffthlanturwid
Fttthpttwankerwid
screw it.
Funny Thing- Funny as usual. Charlotte may well be wider than she is tall, and 'Tissues and Issues', an incredably dull album, but she did do one excellent 'trance' track for which I forgive everything.
Snooze- You may be right there. Bryans comment when asked how he felt about being World Champion was, "I'm just glad it's all over."
First Nations- I think it's actually illegal not to marry a cousin.
I don't mean to be rude TRULY but please tell me why wales rocks. I've been there a few times and it always left a bad impression, also I went to Swansea once and it stank of fish. Hoping you can give me some nice images of Wales...
Granted the culture takes a bit of getting used to, but who could fail to be impressed by this vision of slendour.
okay tickers, fair enough, you have some beautiful cliff faces and waterfalls and undulating hills, or hang on a minute, since Catherine zeta jones no longer inhabits wales is it right to refer to her chest bumps like that? ;)
You could be refering to Charlotte of Churchness.
I love it when you talk foreign Tickers. Your welsh accent is cute.
None of this is true...For Goodness sake try to stick to the facts...
Jungly Jane- I feared I might have lost something in translation.
Mutters- If you spent more time investigating and less time licking windows, you may have appriciated I tell the truth. This IS the scoop.

i still can't pronounce it. so what kind of prize does the champion get?
what, like the thrill of competition wasn't enough?
a piece of dried fish and a lickie postage stamp with a picture of an airplane on it.
I just spit all over my computer trying to pronounce that.
