> ...and then, of course, there's the famous village in Wales that I can never remember the name of.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. Here's the full name and translation:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrdrobwllllandysiliogogogoch

This is the spelling given on a web page about it, although I could have sworn it was "llanty" not "llandy."

Anyway, note the four l's in a row. It's like that because one of the word ends in "ll" and the next begins with "ll."

Translation:

The Church of St Mary of the pool of the white hazels, by the turbulent whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave.

I visited Llanfair when I was in Wales, but unfortunately I don't remember it very well. I do remember other parts of Wales. Caernarfon was great.
