I just read this in my aggregator, and from the opening syllables realised I could steal it. Almost verbatim. Including the disclaimer at the top.
Then I got to the bottom and realised I was supposed to. Possibly apart from the disclaimer at the top.

I'm going to move to North Wales soon, and I'm not particularly keen on the idea. What do you like about the place ?!
Which part of north Wales are you moving to? Makes a big difference…. I love the north-west – Snowdonia and Pen Ll?n. Llanberis, tucked in between the mountains, has a great, laid-back climbing scene, and Pete's Eats. Abersoch has the sea, and the surfing scene. Castles, everywhere, lovely countryside. Great pubs in Caernarfon. Bangor's OK I suppose, I don't know it well, but it's a university town with all that that means…
The North-East, errmm I don't know so well. I have a feeling you're moving to this part, though?
????, btw!
Yeah, Emlyn's dead right – couldn't agree more. NE Wales is gorgeous – my friend Debs lived in Trefor for a while, see on one side, mountains on the other, just lovely place. She's now moved inland a bit, I think, but I've not been up to see her which is just poor behaviour on my part.
Caernarfon and Bangor are fine as towns, but the joy in NE Wales is the countryside. You don't want to live in Blaenau Ffestiniog though. 😉 Whatever the Anweledig boys say isn't true. (For the uninitiated, the have a song that says that the weather's always nice in Blaenau, but in fact the place has amongst the highest rainfall in the UK. It's on the east of the mountains, you see, so more rain.)
The area around Ruthin is lovely too, though, but stay away from Rhyl and the actual north coast.
I love the fact that so many people speak Welsh up there though, in the NE. I love being able to go into a shop and chances are that the person I speak to will speak back to me in Welsh. That's just me though.
Almost as much fun as the best blonde joke. I joined in!
