IT'S OK GWEN, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE SEEING THEM............................. Penguin seen by Thames Penguin suit ... bird strolls by river Thames Pictures: LINUS MORAN FULL NEWS INDEX ›› By JONATHAN WEINBERG P-P-P-assers-by got a real p-p-pick-me-up yesterday when a cute PENGUIN waddled out of the Thames. The bird emerged at London’s South Bank and pottered about near the Tate Modern gallery. As scores of tourists gathered round, The Sun’s phones began ringing off the hook. One US tripper said: “He looked so cute waddling around in the mud and didn’t seem scared by the attention. I can’t believe he’s strayed so far from home.” But as the crowd grew, the bird slipped back into the rising river and swam away. Wally Whale ... another river visitor It is believed to be the first time a penguin has been spotted in the Thames — and comes weeks after tragic Wally the Whale got stranded. Experts said the penguin, normally seen at the South Pole, may have been released into UK waters by fishermen who accidentally snared him. Off course ... Penguin is long way from home Marine biologist Lil Faroop said: “It looks like a Jackass. They feed on sprats and ‘fly’ through the water at 5mph. They have a donkey-like bray.” IS THIS WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ? FROM A CONCERNED PIPS XX /O\

OH YES UNIFORMS BUT NOT WAITERS

penguin This word originated in Wales There are no penguins in Wales. You will search for them in vain along the region's rocky shores. They are not to be found even at the Anglesey Sea Zoo on the Welsh Isle of Anglesey, nor among the two dozen species of birds at the Welsh Mountain Zoo near Colwyn Bay. To find a penguin in its native habitat, you have to go to the other end of the earth. But the name we give the bird in English is Welsh. Stranger still, in Welsh, pen means 'head' and gwyn means 'white,' so penguin means 'white head.' But on a penguin, the head is mostly black. How did it come to this? The solution to the mystery goes back to the late sixteenth century, when nautical adventurers from the British Isles were beginning to venture across the oceans. Among the first places they visited was Newfoundland. There they found an island crowded with gray and white birds as big as geese but unable to fly--and thus easy to catch for food. The sailors would 'driue them on a planke into our ship as many as shall lade her,' wrote an observer in 1578. There must have been Welshmen among the sixteenth-century British sailors, because they called both the island and the bird pen gwyn. Why they called it 'white head' we can only guess. The bird had large white spots next to its eyes, though it did not have a white head. Perhaps the island itself looked like a white head. In any case, when English explorers ventured as far south as the Strait of Magellan later in the century, they found birds that reminded them of the ones they had encountered in Newfoundland. These southern birds also were flightless, with dark backs and white fronts, and they waddled upright on web feet. They were therefore called penguins, even though they were zoologically quite distinct from the penguins of Newfoundland. The northern bird, which we now call the great auk, was such an easy catch that by the mid-nineteenth century it was extinct. The southern bird, living in remote places, escaped that fate. And so when we speak of penguins today, we mean only the birds of the south. Welsh, like Scottish, Irish, and Breton, is from the Celtic branch of Indo-European. It was spoken in the British Isles long before anyone spoke English there, but as is typical of the language of a conquered people, very little of the Welsh language ever entered English. We do, however, have Welsh names like Arthur and Merlin, landscape features like combe (valley, as early as 770) and crag (1300), a stringed instrument known as the crowd (1310), a dog called a corgi (1926), the eisteddfod festival (1822), a dessert called flummery (1623), and a drink made from fermented honey called metheglin (medicinal liquor, 1533). There are about half a million speakers of Welsh in Wales nowadays, most of them also fluent in English.
