But I *adore* the idea of Stephen Fry speaking Welsh. Or any other language, for that matter …

You probably wont believe this, but I just heard Stephen Fry say: ‘Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod’ on QI XL on Dave. Spotted dog or what!!!

I did go on a hovercraft across the English Channel in 1977 – but they are now retired… ;-) lol

I got a kick out of your analysis of how long it would take to listed to 12,000 tracks. I think I’d better make sure the battery is well charged up indeed. And thanks for your sweet bit of Welsh also. In looking up the translation, I learned how to say “Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod.” See? One really does learn something new every day! Cheers!

I loved your list of ‘favourite things’ – as a writer capturing characters is a skill to constantly sharpen and hone. I shall now use your idea to get a sense of the important things to my characters. Thanks aka
Diolch yn fawr from Wales ;-)

PS i feel so 20th century when I still have favourite CDs (on my laptop) but don’t even use my mp3 any more.
PPS How long does listening to 12000 tracks take. Over 600 hours, at 10 hrs a day that 60 days…
PPS I have 1742 tracks and many of those are no where near favourites.
