General Chat

Mr Daff, as I was someone who commented on posts being in Welsh may I just say that I wasn't upset by it just felt a bit left out because i didn't understand it. Plus being a tad nosey I wanted to know what was being said. Nothing to do with it being Welsh btw I would have felt the same if you had posted in any other language.

:-D

MrD I would like to complain strongly about your use of yall. The rest of your post was in such good Welsh and beautifully translated. I ask - nay, demand - that you put yall in Welsh also. ;-)

There's a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza...... :-D

Edit. It has just struck me that Irish is probably as phonetic as Welsh. So presumably places like Dun Laoghaire are quite easy top pronounce if we knew Irish alphabet. Ditto Scottish and other Gaelic languages. Anyone fancy explaining any Gaelic alphabets. I would be very interested - and I guess others would too.

lolol MrDaff at least it proves I don't C & P :-D

An Englishman trying to be Welsh reminds me of a cat trying to bark ;-)

I cant see why an Englishman would even want to be Welsh, unless he had a thing about sheep :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-) :-)

I don't think I have ever in my life heard of an Englishman wanting to be Welsh. I expect it does happen. I was joking about David Lloyd-George and Saunders Lewis. Yes, they were born and brought up to some degree in England. But they knew they were Welsh, were told they were Welsh and were proud to be Welsh all their lives.

I was always Welsh myself - never even thought I could be English though probably could have played rugby for both countries. But it has always been Wales for me. Cymru am Byth. Always very proud of that - as many others are to be Scottish, English, Australian, whatever.

Put all the Genes posters who like rugby in a room watching the six nations. You would soon see which side people were on. :-D :-D

ROFL :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hayley !!!.. :-D :-D :-D :-D,
its a good job I keep a plastic cover on my keyboard, screen needs a wipe clean though.

John you'll have to take up Welsh citizenship!!!,,,,but you'll still be an English born bloke at the end of the day........you can not claim to be Welsh......you are the product of one Welsh parent by your own statement ,,,,,,that doesnt make you Welsh.Its just an act.

You only live there.

:-D :-D :-D

PMSL@Hayley :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I give up. Have booked myself into a hospital tomorrow as all you lovely people born in England want me to also be English. Apparently they fit this thing on my head and make me learn the words of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.

66 years a proud Welshman, last 20 or so a proud Englishman living in the Rhondda. Oh, bliss :-D Thankyou, thankyou for showing me the light after all these wasted 66 years. Will sit my family down and tell them all tomorrow night. And neighbours will be thrilled, though they will wonder why I knocked their doors and gave them a Plaid leaflet at last General Election :-D

Will my new party (Plaid Lloegr - England party) have any more hope in these Valleys than UKIP?

LOL ........... Well John you are English , but desperate to be Welsh

aivlyS <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

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.

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

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

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

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

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. ;-)

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
