2013 version 2.0 Wales vs England bickering thread.

[Biltong]

First topic message reminder :

Carry on your bickering here.

I was going to summarise the previous thread, but going through a thousand posts and ultimately it ends on goats, sheep on your 18th brithday that hangs around longer than strippers doesn't say much for the rest of the content.

Enjoy.

There's plenty of English people there. You don't have to be white to be English do you? Aled Brew's as Welsh as you could ever hope to be.

[Morgannwg]

Who mentioned whites and non-white?

[Guest]

Im not Bald sadly for you Cyril,also Cyril and 3finals never online the same time

[Glas a du]

Who mentioned whites and non-white?

Nobody. The statistic from the census was that the majority of Londeners were not white. That doesn't equate to them not being English as he said. See?

[Cyril]

Im not Bald sadly for you Cyril

A couple of years ago you posted evidence on 606 that you were 'thinning around the crown'. I'm assuming your baldness is coming on apace now.

[Morgannwg]

Nobody. The statistic from the census was that the majority of Londeners were not white. That doesn't equate to them not being English as he said. See?

Who said though? I didn't recall him pointing out colour. There can also be white non-english people... And yes like with most capitals, London has a large overseas influx. London is a good place to get a job, work experience and a very famous city. Not surprising. I prefer Bristol though .

[sickofwendy]

I live in central London and most shops I go in they struggle to understand my English accent.On the plus side it's extremely rare to see a welshman,occasionally 1 begging around paddington area for a train fare home after being fleece by a ladyboy whilst plastered on cheap cider.

Yes please explain your comment. It seems typical of you to try and twist things to suit your own thoughts. This was a news item on the TV this week OK. DO NOT try and twist my comments again.

[rainbow-warrior]

watch yourself RW

Explain your comment as well. I would imagine you are going along the same avenue as that other numpty.

The report did NOT mention colour at all, the report mention that the MAJORITY were NOT English. I see you have the title WRITER, goodness knows why.

[Hound_of_Harrow]

London is indeed a good place to get jobs Morgs.

Our local job centre advertised a vacancy itself yesterday for a new interpreter.



An English speaker.

[mystiroakey]

Yep the majority of the people that own flats/houses in the city of london or the city of westminster are hyper rich people from around the world.. If you dont have a residence in london you havent made it.

The majority of those residences arent lived in all year round. Infact many will be lucky to be lived in 2 weeks of the year!

That offcourse is a very small area compared to greater london, And on the whole there are more english people here. However it is surely one of(if not the most) muticultrual city in the world..

Parts are a dump. Parts are great. Its what major cities are like..

One road could have millionaries living in it and the next road down could be full of council blocks!!

Isnt this supposed to be the England Wales bickering thread not the Welsh bickering over who can be the most politically correct?

This really needs a Grey Ghost accopunt to come in and mention Gavin Hensons colour....

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Parts are a dump. Parts are great. Its what major cities are like..

Exactly. Newport's the same.

[mystiroakey]

Well I am sure Newport is luverly in parts!!

But lets be fair I did say MAJOR

[Luckless Pedestrian]

London's jealous of Newport. They had a big row about it on Facebook and unfriended each other.

Its a pity there isn't a 'back pedalling like feck' imoticon.

[mystiroakey]

Got to be honest I have never been out in newport allthough i have played celtic manor a few times.. Allways stayed in the mansion, never got round to getting down to the city..

I will be back soon enough though. will have to sample the delights and all that.

[Jimpy]

Bridgend hasn't got much going for it, too many people hanging around.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

There are some nice parts of Newport, Mysti. The town centre's a bit of a ghost town these days but the are a few good pubs dotted around. Caerleon's a good place for a pub crawl too.

[mystiroakey]

So many ghost towns around the Uk these days. Shame..

I will try to remember Caerleon though!

[RubyGuby]

Luckless - I used to stay with my Gran in Newport in the summer hols as a child - She would take me to Stow Hill swimming pool, I think it might be Maindee Baths actually - Great times - She lived just off Belle View park if I remember - Does that sound right?


Just to keep on track - England are Poo

[Luckless Pedestrian]

I used to go through Belle Vue Park when I cycled to and from work, Ruby. They had a fire at Maindee Baths a few years ago and it's shut now.

Mysti, there was a major Roman settlement at Caerleon (Isca Silurum). You can still see the amphitheatre and the baths, and they've recently found what looks like a major port. Worth a look if you're into that sort of thing.

[mystiroakey]

Oh I love all that stuff(sad i know!)


I might take a trip around the Uk one month and just sample all these ancient things!

[Luckless Pedestrian]

It's the largest and best-preserved amphitheatre in Britain, I think. There are barracks nearby too.

Cheers Luckless - They were happy days coming up from the Valleys - Great Gran

Yeah, I like Carleon (I don't really class it as Newport though!). I went to a hotel there (The Priory?) where they do fantastic food and all the meat is out on display and you can choose your cut.

[RubyGuby]

"all the meat is out on display and you can choose your cut."

It's a bit like that in Neath on a Saturday night

[Luckless Pedestrian]

They do great food at the Priory - and you're sort of right about Caerleon. It's run by the city council but it still has a village feel about it.

[RubyGuby]

"it still has a village feel about it."

Bit like Wales

[ScarletSpiderman]

There's plenty of English people there. You don't have to be white to be English do you? Aled Brew's as Welsh as you could ever hope to be.

That didn't stop that sweet old dear in Patagonia almost having a heart attack when he spoke joined in a converstaion in welsh she was having with some of the other boys. I think she come out with something along the lines of "You didn't look like you were a welsh speaker" or something like that, considering she was a bleeding Argie that seemed a bit rich.

(oh it may have been Nathan Brew not Aled, or possibly both. Was a long time ago, around 06 or 07)

[mystiroakey]

Who is more welsh lads.

Tom Jones or George North?

[RubyGuby]

Welsh is welsh mate we don't diffentiate - Who is most english, Tuilangi or Barritt or Botha or

[gregortree]

Maesteg,
do NHSOB (NGOB at the time) still play at that ground in Caerleon ? It was so long ago, but nice to think it is still going. Club house was simple but comfortable and had a bar, open for first time on a Sunday.
After the match we (my future wife & I) went on to visit family friends in Merthyr, now there's posh. We had Welsh cakes & tea.

[gregortree]

Welsh is welsh mate we don't diffentiate - Who is most english, Tuilangi or Barritt or Botha or

Cuthbert is.

[mystiroakey]

They are all english mate.. as is tomy jones and georgey north

[LondonTiger]

Tommy Lee Jones is welsh surely

[mystiroakey]

Well yeah part welsh ancestory and part Ameircan Indian!

[lostinwales]

Welsh is welsh mate we don't diffentiate - Who is most english, Tuilangi or Barritt or Botha or

By birth Barritt by adoption all of them

[LondonTiger]

How about Bridget and Marion Jones?

[RubyGuby]

How about Bridget and Marion Jones?

It's a nice tought

[LondonTiger]

Well Bridget Jones is a dopey fat tart, who gets drunk a lot, wears silly hats and cannot sing. Would fit right in

[Biltong]

Welsh is welsh mate we don't diffentiate - Who is most english, Tuilangi or Barritt or Botha or

[nobbled]

Happy St David's day!!!

To all you leek munching lamb abusers.

[LondonTiger]

The random thing about the welsh is that they can produce chunky women that are still fit!

Katherine Jenkins was much better when she was Welsh and a little more solid.
Now that she has gone all american and is as thin as a rake


And one of the benefits of being divorced? I can dream about Alex Jones and not feel guilty.

[A World Cup and 3 Finals]

Adam Jones is normally mistaken for the fittest bird on a night out in Swansea.........he doesn't complain either.

Happy St Davids!!

Yes. If it's the one on the route towards Usk? A train drives past the pitch every now and again. Like I said, that club probably has the most 'traditional' feel about it.

[Biltong]

I've cleaned the thread up a bit, please behave yourselves, otherwise we will lock this bickering thread permanently.

[RubyGuby]

Hark at Biltong threatening to clean things up - Are you the new Harvey Keitel

[Biltong]

Harvey Keitel is a wimp, Al Pacino, now there's your man.
