I HAVE THE SCARLETS T-SHIRT ~ IT LOOKS LIKE SCARLETS WILL HAVE MY LEIGH .....
.......... NOW ALL I NEED IS A SCARLETS SEASON TICKET ;-) :-D :-D

Hi Jemalah

Should we have a whip round?

:-D x

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Throws Prickles the cap for her busking ;-) <3

I am on it!

I will be outside Woolworths first thing tomorrow.


;-) :-D <3

I take it that you've learned the words to CALON LAN off by heart, our Prickles ;-) :-D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG7UkFbw-ps

AND JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T ;-)

CALON LAN (PURE HEART)

Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.

I don't ask for a luxurious life,
the world's gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart,
an honest heart, a pure heart.

A pure heart full of goodness
Is fairer than the pretty lily,
None but a pure heart can sing,
Sing in the day and sing in the night

You have abba soo loo telly no idea how many times i have watched that video.

. :-D :-D

Hope you get one Jemmmmmmmm :-D <3

Come on Leighhhhhhhhh ;-)

:-D :-D :-D @ Prickles

I see that you have ABBA on the programme too

Some ideas for the Scarlets "Powers That Be" for you to perform on Our Leigh's behalf

1. TAKE A CHANCE ON ME!

2.WINNER TAKES IT ALL

3. SUPER TROUPER

4. NAME OF THE GAME

5. I HAVE A DREAM

Just for starters ;-) :-D :-D

HIYA FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :-D :-D <3

Scarlets Mascot Duties for the Fly methinks ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I am ready ;-)

Now .... you need to get down here Fly ..... and give them ultimatums ....

I'll leave you to decide what those terms are! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I will make a list :-D :-D :-D

He needs a shave Jem :-0

Prickles hope you do well tomorrow ;-) ;-)

Good Thinking! :-D :-D :-D

First, COCHYN THE DRAGON will need to make way for the superior Mascotting of The Fly

I'm quite willing for him to take on a supportive role however ;-)

Does this mean I've got to change pompoms again :-(

YES A SHAVE INDEED :-D :-D :-D
