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.

Teeside generally. Last one out, flush the toilet.

Some places have the geographical misfortune to have been the centre of industry, and suffered worse deprivations once the industries were hamstrung by the unions/closed by Gov't policy. Delete as appropriate.

Wales (Cardiff* especially) has done quite well since, but Teeside is a festering dump.

* I've had some great rugby weekends in Cardiff. None of them involving England

Talk to a Welsh rugby fan about club rugby, and you'll talk for hours; and will learn a lot too.

Sorry, this post is probably going against the grain of this thread.

Born in bred in York, I feel a little smug.

Disclaimer: feeling smugs is legal in Yorkshire.

I that Jillian Smug which you were feeling?
No offence, but she let everyone have a touch.............

Jill? Nooooo!

She's so tough
As pure as the driven slush

That's why we all love(d) her..........

Oh, shoo-it, can't slight the Yorkies.

Gotta bring this back to Wales-England

Ah-ha:
There once was a girl from Port Talbot,
For a tenner she will really go at it,
She said with a grin,
That England will win,
But she looks a little too much like Brad Barritt.

[Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler]

The Rec was nice enough. I found their ground more enjoyable than standing on the Crumbie at Leicester.

Are you Brian Venter?

[t1000advancedprototype]

There once was a guy called Rob
After round 1 we called him a knob
Then Wales in France
And in Rome they did dance
And now we no longer do sob!

On a serious note, Wales deserve nothing after the opening 45 mins v Ireland. If we finish 2nd or even 3rd, I will be very happy.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

It's amazing how quickly fortunes can change in this tournament. After the first round, Ireland were man sausage-a-hoop and we were looking at the wooden spoon. And with two rounds still to be played, we could still end up with only two wins from five.

[nobbled]

Can't believe Viewyothegym has quit - we're not that lucky and he enjoys his WUM's far too much. I imagine he'll be back - first one to spot his new identity gets Trollmaster general badge.

And saying it's Morg doesn't count.

Gotta love the swear filter!

Funnily enough, man sausage is how quite a few Irish posters would describe Declan Kidney at the minute.

Never fear, Morg and Beefy more than make up for his absence, they're like a very 'special' tag team...

[mystiroakey]

morg and beefy are totally different to view..

View is only here for the wum!

But all the same I will miss that..

RW is the only one who can step up

[Cyril]

Does Moffet's Ghost still exist in one form or another these days?

I thought he might be back the other day... does the author of this article look vaguely familiar?

no capitals?

[Jimpy]

no capitals?

It was just a hunch, actually, it looked more like Grey Ghost was back - the sly dig at England's foreign contingent was always a dead giveaway with him.

That almost makes me want to go on a swearing spree to see what other changes there are. But that would be acting like a Frak Holly Wilaboobie. Now we know that we have to be careful when talking about man sausage size, but what if we use standard dictionary word's like Winkle?

Port talbot? It's the capital of dumps. Deadbeat town full of chain smoking deadbeats. If only a girl looked like barritt there....

[lostinwales]

I remember going through Pyle once and thinking its only role must be to help people of Bridgend feel better about themselves

[ScarletSpiderman]

There once a girl from Kent,
Who was after a well endowed gent,
Who could please he all night,
But there was not one in sight,
So over to Wales she went.

[LondonTiger]

That silly young girl from Kent,
Who wanted a well endowed gent,
Well she went of to Wales,
To be saddened by fails,
So instead of coming she went

Was this a err.. Cipriani type situation?

[Jimpy]

Where's the passport office in Wales? I had to go there once to, um, well, get a passport... anyway, now that was a dump, there were people hanging around the half derelict shopping area drunk - it was like 1030 in the morning.

I agree with others, Aldershot is pretty bad. But you have to remember, it only existed to be a garrison, the civilian population and housing was purely incidental to it. Now the garrison has all but gone, so has the heart of the town. Farnborough is also a dump.

Luton is really, really bad.

[gregortree]

The Wreck is situate in a most beautiful surrounding by the banks of the Avon, below Pulteney Bridge, among the sweeping Georgian terraces.
Arguably the most picturesque ground in the AP maybe UK.
The ground & facilities just feel a bit of a tatty amateur throwback. I appreciate the planning difficulties in developing this iconic ground up to the standard, say, of Kingsholm, Worcester or The Stoop to name but three.

Bath is lovely. The (W)Rec is a dump, nay an embarassment.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Where's the passport office in Wales?

That's Newport.

I'd hate to see the 'old' port...

It was beautiful, you'd have loved it.

When my sister was in uni in Bath we went up to visit her, and wandered down by the river, and one of the fire-escapes (or something) was open to the Rec, I remember thinking how weird it was being placed there, as it didn't stand out or anything. I guess the problem with Bath is the area is so bleeding historic and posh that it makes progress kinda hard. After all didn't they refuse to have a Woolworths there as it would lower the image?

I'm working on a new theory about how the UKBA picks it's public enquiry office locations ...

Newport
Croyden
Glasgow
Liverpool
Sheffield
Solihull
Belfast

[gregortree]

Scarlet
as the Rec is a public park, Bath RFC have pretty restricted rights.
You can wander in any time there is no match on. The ticket entry via the back of the Rec on match days is temporary crush barrier cattle run with staff operating mobile bar code scanners at the end. The stand on that side is temp scaffolding which can be struck at the end of the rugby season. So the Rec ground share is an odd but charming arrangement.

[Scrumpy]

The Rec is receiving a fair amount of stick!

Yes we know it's a Rec but after a few pints of Doom it looks almost as pretty as Morganngw.

[gregortree]

Vic, i love the City of Bath

[Bathman_in_London]

The rec is a bit of a joke, but at least the before and after game time is spent in decent surroundings, rather than in a soulless carpark next to an asda or similar.

Luton is pretty horrendous, although Newport must run it pretty close.

[gregortree]

LW 'in' Oxford is pretty soulless area. And only 3000 fans in the stadium, mostly Glaws, it felt sadly empty too.

In spirit of OP, any Welsh cities planning on putting in a bid ?
Swansea apparently.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

How can 'East Kent' possibly win City of Culture?

[mystiroakey]

Isnt liverpool still the european city of culture!

[mystiroakey]

I think east kent is hastings and bexhill pal.

its not both

[gregortree]

How can 'East Kent' possibly win City of Culture?

Dover is sheer class.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Hastings is in Sussex, isn't it?

Anyway, my money's on St Asaph.

[mystiroakey]

Yeah it is actually- your right!

on the borders. so it would be closer to west kent!- but in sussex

I was there at New years an all in some cottage! dont mind me yo.

anyway neither are cities are they- areas yes, cities nope

[Bathman_in_London]

Why is it never nice places which go for these awards?

Also what does the creator of Grange Hill know about culture?!

[gregortree]

Everyone /place is equal in this New Age.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

That's what I thought when I saw he was head of the panel. Ridiculous! Who's going to cut the ribbon? Zammo?

[Morgannwg]

Well lads I've finally got a claim to fame. I grew up with the lad who was on yesterdays Jeremy Kyle!

[mystiroakey]

Hehe.

What a claim to fame!!

[Morgannwg]

Entertaining. Proper Bettws accents .

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Bettws? Is it still on ITV iPlayer?

[Cyril]

Well lads I've finally got a claim to fame. I grew up with the lad who was on yesterdays Jeremy Kyle!

Was it View?

[ScarletSpiderman]

Well lads I've finally got a claim to fame. I grew up with the lad who was on yesterdays Jeremy Kyle!

Sadly I can top that I was in school with, and later lived in the same block of flats, as a girl who went on bother Trisha and Jeremy Kyle for being exceptionally plump, and hiding behind the sofa to eat!

[Morgannwg]

Yes it's still on ITV player, about 25 minutes in. No it wasn't View, on this occassion.
