LA and Ryan Reynolds are doing more for Wales than Westminster ever has

[shrykesong]

Also I currently have a person willing to offer me a room, for free, in Wrecsam. And like

Do i go back to Wales again? The gender services are better. I have Some friends there. But I also have some friends in Leeds and like. It's Leeds. There is. More there. And the trains are better. And my parents would be closer, and I like my parents. And the kink scene is better. And I'd rather live alone, much as this Wrecsam friend is lovely.

But it's free. And Wrecsam isn't Not nice.

If girlfriend did a masters in Hereford I'd probably take the Wrecsam room. That is the waiting option that she'd probably prefer.

I also kind of like the idea of renting in/close to Leeds and also spending time in Wrecsam. Summer Home for poor polycules lmao. No but it would be nice. And I would be lucky to do it still.

I don't know.

There's a flat in the village we could probably afford right now

enough about english North/ South divide time to talk about Welsh North/ South divide

Gender services located in Cardiff (south) cos thats the capital city and thats where the money is, everything rolling along smooth, get my appointment, have my 1hr zoom call that's all cool, she sends me my blood test forms almost immediately

Ring my shit fucking GP (north) to say "hey i have these blood test forms can i get a blood test please?" Why "base hormones levels and to test me for PCOS" we dont do that. Either ring the hospital phlebotomy department or go private -_- (there are basically no other GPs in the area [no money for the north unless its making shit nice for the tourists] so i dont have a choice)

Fine. Ring the hospital. "Phlebotomy department shuts at 5 and queue is now full, please ring a different day or book online." Okay. I look online: hospital doesn't seem to do it either, meaning nearest place i can get my bloods done is either Fflint or Wrecsam which - to be clear - are both around 2 fucking hours away, cool i guess, i dont rly have the money to travel that far though which means Josie's gonna have to drive me which also costs petrol

Also, trans services have always been a bit shit around here but the fact they won't take my bloods for PCOS? im in pain a lot of the time....

[Biting and hissing and sighing and clawing at my hair HIRE A WELSH TRANSLATOR TO TRANSLATE YOUR WELL-MEANING ADS I STFG]

Let's do a lesson in my most frequently seen Welsh Translation Error, shall we?

What it says in the images:

"Os nad yw rhywbeth yn teimlo'n iawn, Gofyn am Angela wrth y bar."

What that literally means:

"If something doesn't feel right, [to ask] for Angela at the bar."

What they should have said:

"Os nad yw rhywbeth yn teimlo'n iawn, Gofynnwch am Angela wrth y bar."

In this case the word "gofyn" does get the point across, since it does literally mean ask in a neutral form, but here I think it is appropriate to use the Imperative form of the verb instead of the neutral form.

In Welsh we have an entire seperate sort of ¿tense? for when we are commanding, instructing or suggesting that someone do something, called the Imperative or the Command form. In formal situations like the one seen here this involves simply shoving an "-wch" on the end of the word. (Informally you might use a single "-a" suffix)

Example here from the same initiative in Wrexham:

Headline in image: "Tafarndai yn Wrecsam yn cefnogi ymgyrch 'Gofynnwch am Angela'"

Without using the Imperative it's sort of like you're throwing verbs out there with no indication as to who is meant to be doing them. "Gofyn wrth y bar"? But who exactly is asking at the bar? Is it in the past? Future? It feels clunky.

Of course if it was just an actual Welsh speaker talking informally or a learner saying this I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but I really expect better from ads, signs and Official Communications you know? I see this shit fucking everywhere and it drives me bananas.
