Rydw i'n cael fy hwyl iawn ar ôl 100 llawr.
Rydyn ni'n gallu rhannu hynny i'r cyfarfodydd cyfarfodydd.
Mae'n dda iawn.

Rydyn ni wedi sgwrsio yma yn benodol am y cynnydd rydych chi wedi ei wneud yn y ffordd o ddysgu am ddod allan i gyflawni'r cyfleoedd, ond hefyd o ran y lles.
Iawn.
Felly, Prif Weinidog, rwy'n credu bod hyn yn fuddsoddiad fwyaf, 40 mlynedd yn ôl.
Byddwn ni'n mynd i wneud newidiad mewn ffordd, ac mae'n mynd i fod yn fwy bwysig na dim ond 5%.
Rwy'n credu ein bod ni wedi cwrdd â'r dynion a'r ffordd diwethaf o amgylch y wlad.

Maen nhw'n newid ac maen nhw'n diolch.

Ac pan rydyn ni'n mynd allan i ddweud y math hwnnw o bethau, mae'r dyn yn gwneud yr awgrymiad hwnnw ac mae'n cadw hynny.
Rydyn ni'n newid amser.
Rwy'n siŵr o fod ar y tîm.
Diolch yn fawr.
Mae hynny'n eich fag.
Gadewch i mi ddod i mewn i'r blaen.
Diolch am eich help dros y blynyddoedd.
Mae hynny'n eithaf anodd i chi.
Roeddwn i'n cofio eich ysbrydoli pan oeddech chi wedi cyrraedd Columbus ar gyfer cyfarfod gyda'ch rhaglenni, pan oeddech chi'n ymddiriedol yn Califonia.
Roeddwn i'n dweud wrthych chi hynny.
Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Rydyn ni eisiau mynd ymlaen.
Mae hyn yn rhaid i ni ddod ymlaen.
Mae hyn yn rhaid i ni ddod ymlaen.
