They did live together, Dave Gorman goes on about him in ‘I’m Dave Gorman’ (I think that was its name - the one where he tries to find 52 other Dave Gormans).

Danny was his flatmate and cowriter of “are you a dave gorman?” he wrote Join me, and his latest is called “Yes man” where put simply, he says yes to everything. A lot more fun that it sounds! I believe they’re turning it into a movie…

I just looked up a welsh-language site…don’t ask me why.
They don’t even have a word for “yes” and “no”, they have different versions, depending on what it means, e.g. “Yes they did” “Yes I will” etc etc.
Flipping heck, no wonder the learn English, it must take them a week to master it at most.
