Aberystwyth is a great place in Wales. My Uni girlfriend came from there and lives back there now.

How random. How drunk was the person who named that place?

Not drunk, just Welsh. Besides this from a man who's country gave birth to place names like Wagga Wagga, Middle Intercourse Island, Chinamans Knob and best of all Wet Beaver Creek.

At least you can spell it. Iron Knob. Straight to the point really?

For the Welsh Aberystwyth is easy to spell same as Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

If you have ever heard welsh words spoken you will also know that most other letters in them are silent and instead they use a completely different set!

Like LL. In welsh it sounds like you're trying to get somw flem up unless it has a w before it and then it sounds like your blowing air out of your mouth. Where as in Australian everything sounds whiney and nasily and the intonation always goes up at the end of the sentance as though you're actually asking a question. A trend which has started appearing accross the world. Damn you Paul Hogan!!!!

You forgot about truncating words. Remember that a true Aussie only ever needs to use the first syllable of any word.
