You know those disclaimers you get at the bottom of emails? The ones that keep corporate lawyers happy but essentially are worthless?

This takes some beating:

Os ydych wedi derbyn y neges e-bost hon trwy gamgymeriad, rhowch wybod i'r anfonwr ar unwaith a dilëwch y neges.

Mae unrhyw farn neu safbwynt yn eiddo i'r sawl a'i hanfonodd yn unig ac nid yw o anghenraid yn cynrychioli barn Prifysgol Bangor. Nid yw Prifysgol Bangor yn gwarantu bod y neges e-bost hon neu unrhyw atodiadau yn rhydd rhag firysau neu 100% yn ddiogel. Oni bai fod hyn wedi ei ddatgan yn uniongyrchol yn nhestun yr e-bost, nid bwriad y neges e-bost hon yw ffurfio contract rhwymol - mae rhestr o lofnodwyr awdurdodedig ar gael o Swyddfa Cyllid Prifysgol Bangor. www.bangor.ac.uk

I don't know what a 100% ddiogel is but I want one.

Hah! Is that Welsh?

yup :)

Years ago on the way to a campsite in Wales for a family holiday, we tripped a speed camera. When we got home 2 weeks later, I opened my post. There was this official-looking letter telling me I had a parking fine, but every other line was unintelligible. At first I put it down to the effects of eye strain after a long drive. The next day I discovered that it was bilingual English and Welsh, saying that if I didn't send sixy groats to the Chief Druid pronto, they'd feed me to the sheep.

You're just saying that because you know I don't believe Volvos can go that fast.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
