General Chat

I was a rugby player - week in, week out. Got a National trial but prior to that played against Cambridge Uni ...... ended up in hospital with damaged knee / hip. End of National hopes.

Do my thighs look big in this thread ???? :-D

Rose. I was thinking of Ian Hislop. He was born in Wales and lived in all parts of the world and seemed to favour his Scottish roots on WDYTYA. Merton teases him about being Welsh exactly same as Hayley (from Barbados) and Kay (from Somalia) tease me about being English.

And you can see Hislop's hackles rise, just like mine :-D ;-) And Dan's, no doubt.

I just want to witness the bravery of the person who tells Dan that, despite having two English parents, he is Welsh because he was born in the abomination that was Wrexham hospital's maternity ward :-0

Good luck with that one! ;-) You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it say Dwr Cymru :-D

Brenda :-D :-D When my mum was a little girl, she wrote her address in her school exercise books as Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire, Wales, United Kingdom, Europe, World.

She was always very proud to be Welsh. And the Welsh have done so much more for world harmony than their close neighbours. In fact, I cannot think of any time in the whole history of Wales when they have not won friends and influenced people - even in far-flung places like Argentina, Canada, USA and Australia.

And it just comes so naturally to this Welshman to win friends and influence people :-D :-D

Thank goodness for that John you are Englsh , as you had me worried that you had entered Wales as an interloper on a false passport......... :-D.

Must make you feel awful when the English get bashed for overtaking Wales........ :-0

Think we'd better say we are all World citizens and not aliens!!!!

I joined the Aussie thread cos my 2 cousins,and my neighbours dau live there, and my stepsister in law was married to a Sicilian ( had a lovely honeymoon in Monreale on them...had to pay for the flights,from Luton )
does that mean I can be Australian or Sicilian, or even BOTH
....OOOH Whippee :-D :-D

Kay. Keep up. Have already said that I totally accept I am English and have booked an op tomorrow to reverse 66 years of Welshness so that I can sing "swing Low sweet something or other" as I cheer my boys in white home to victory at the Millenium on 16th March. Oh, sheer joy. Can't wait for them to give the orrible Welsh a good bashing. Come on, England :-D :-D :-D Much bigger thighs.

And I will try to make sure that any of my English friends who were born in England but think they are Welsh (those who are members of London Welsh, for example) take all their red off, put white on (is that right?) and cheer the English boys on with me. :-D

Hayley.......I will join you,,,,,,,Irish,Scottish,Itallian and Welsh......oh and English,,,,,,,,what should I choose,,,,,,hip dip sky blue,

John,,,,,,,you are ENGLISH by birth and no matter how much you profess to be Welsh,,,,,,,sorry sunshine you just aint.

can see exactly where you're coming from there Hayley, my little Irish colleen!!!!

Hayley :-D :-D I just wish your Irish great grandma had been told by you that she was English because she was born in Manchester. Oh, your botty would have been red :-D David Lloyd-George was born in Manchester and would be English after your definition. Yet everything I have read about his life suggests that he claimed he was Jamaican ;-)

I think I have decided to be Irish after all I have been to Dublin my son lived in Ireland for 2 years whilst he served in the Army ( British) , on my Dads side his grandmother was Irish but actually she wasnt she was born in Manchester to Irish born parents, My Mother's Dad parents also born Co Mayo so yep I think today I shall be Irish ohh what a hoot our friends and neighbours will have as I gaily wave and shout out greetings in the morning

" Ta'p of miourning to ya " translated: Goodmorning do have a jolly lovely day now ;-)

Or should I be Scottish I have always found a warm Welcome in the Glenside so I have, always lovely chatty interesting people when I visit Scotland and they don't revert in to talking in a different tongue when I enter their pubs and shops , I go at least 2 or 3 times a year so that should warrent me enough to say I am Scottish ;-)



Now I love the Carribean yer dont think I could get away with....nahhh me neither :-D

thighs - purleese - I've just eaten :-S :-S :-S

Shurrup Sandie :-P :-P

Oh I crowed like mad in the Black Lion every time England won and had coffee somewhere else for a week if we lost..lolol

An elderly chap who used to sit next to me in Welsh chapel in Harrow on the Hill was in his sixties. He was a proud Londoner. He had been born in Clapham of Welsh born parents, had been to Welsh school in London and had worked all hiis life in the Welsh bookshop somewhere near Charing Cross.

He told me (in Welsh in a London accent) that he had hardly had to speak English all his long life and had hardly ever been to Wales. He would be an Englishman then by the Genes defintion. FGS, behave girls. I have not got the thighs you so desire ;-)

I wish Sue that you could support Wales at rugby. But I am sure they give you your own table in your local to boo when the others cheer. And am sure there are no hard feelings. If England do well - they probably are friends with you again within a month or two. Forgive and forget. ;-)

@ Supercrutch. sigh!I will join you, thinking of those English rugby boys thighs mmmmmmmmm

That's you kicked off the 'Welsh thread ' then , tut tut :-| :-| ;-) ;-)

Better thighs indeed !! :-0 No :-P

I support the English rugby team :-D not only are they better looking and have bigger thighs but as I was born in England my alliegance is to the boys and will never change :-D <3 :-D

John --YOU ARE ENGLISH<,,,,,,,,,,,dont care how many leaflets you gave out,,,,,,,,all that means that as an ENGLISH BORN MAN,,,you supported what ever they were about.

Why is English also taught in Wales,,,,,,,,and all over the world.

English rules as a universal lanuage..........now top that. :-D.
