Because they're from Barry and about as smart as a single cell life form/They're subconconciously trying to make welsh people not feel part of the Uk by saying English is the language of the UK....
Flea: Even the council aren't that stupid. Putting pictures of the town would not encourage people to go there...

I think its taking irony to an extreme. Two blokes dancing ahnd in hand would be severely kicked in, in Bally (that's how you pronounce it).

He he, it looks like one "supermarket sveg" the s has dropped down from "supermarket's veg" ;)
Jonesy: How can you say such hurtful things about Barry? And you call yourself a socialist... I thought you'd empathise with the laid off, malcontent dockers?
Flea: Yes, Penarth Pier is nice, my mums mate has a flat overlooking it. It's a nice quiet seaside town, not full of arcades & chippies :)

"Vantaanjoki virtaa läpi Nurmijärven. Joella ja sen koskialueilla voi meloa ja kalastaa ja rantamilla retkeillä monimuotoisen jokiluonnon keskellä kivenheiton päässä Helsingistä."

it says:
the river vantaanjoki flows trough nurmijärvi. at the river and its rabids you can paddle or fish, and on the banks you can hike in the middle of a diverse river nature. all this only a stones throw away from helsinki.
