OK Bill, you got me. It was Burton's brother who walked in, I should have read the post through before posting. I wont tell you what I'm really saying under my breath...only kidding!

MKM, bring the kids to Wales we've got castles on almost every corner (gross exaggeration)

Here's a true story; some people I know booked Castell Coch (Red Castle) near Cardiff for their wedding. A few weeks before the date they got phoned by the manager and asked if they'd mind changing the date or cancelling all together and were given a shed full of cash as a thank you. They got bumped for Posh and Becks' wedding. I know some folks that would have waived the cash for an invite...not me of course.

Zurf, I nearly choked when I saw your post... your my hero

hey you Kiwis look after yourselves OK? thinking of you.

phill

this is what i was hoping for. are we lucky to be amongst our idols or are we a little dejected that when the finger that points and says "IT'S YOU; YOU WILL BE RICH, FAMOUS AND TALENTED" i missed the whole lot!

general Brit sayings;

not the brightest spark....

a Welsh one...I ti'yn twp?             frenetically; ee teen twp? meaning; are you stupid?

one i'd heard in High Wycombe for the first time; hold the bus.

the tickling gap....the space between the top of her stockings and the hem of her knickers. cos when you reach there....your laughing!

my 2 oldest sons managed to break just about every ornament in the house, so their favourite saying was...it's OK daddy'll fix it. there was a time i had  a glue to fix most things.

Is that anything like " dunny?" Which is Ozzy for toilet.

Obviously bonnet and boot mean the same in GB and NZ and Ozzy too, but hood in UK is the roof on a car.
BTW I'd  never put my princess in the boot, like Eric Clapton, she gets her own seat even if I have to leave the wife or one of the kids behind....ha, ha

yes i like your suggestion to make spammers  or new members wait 10 days before posting, what kills that idea is that we sometimes get sneaky spammers that join, find old posts and put something innocuous as a reply, then don't return for a few weeks to add their spam! i wonder if the monty python guys would  have named their song corned beef or something if they'd known?

CONGRATS USA ON A GREAT WIN IN THE 7's.

Jerome, sorry have to correct you, it's not the ref that put the ball in at the scrum it's the centre half of the team that has the advantage if for example the opposing team have made an infringement of some kind. I wont go too deeply into the rules.
As for "forward passing" that's an infringement, as is the off side rule, a player mustn't be ahead of the ball. Big difference with rugby and American rules is to score a "touch down" you have to actually touch the ball down within the score line and the dead ball line, and your hand must be on the ball! When I played 50 years ago, if you  fumbled the ball eg; it bounced or it hit the ground before you touched it, the try wouldn't be allowed. It is still a great game and the bodies on the players now....Greek gods

enjoyed the recording and the song is top notch.

you have come up trumps again tony, enjoyed it.

i met ann about 37 years ago (best move i ever made!) her father was a very clever man, taught himself electrics and electronics as well as the trumpet and after he retired the organ. he played trumpet in a local band to put himself through college and by retirement was head of department at swansea university. so...we travelled all around south wales to find him a decent organ as his plan was to learn to play it then entertain at the old folks homes of which there are lots locally. unfortunately he passed on before realising his dream, which is a great shame.

in my time i've played at several OFHs one regularly, and when i asked the boss of one "why do you want me back so often they must be sick of the same old songs?" he replied; "don't worry, they wont remember what songs you've done anyway!" he was joking of course? they do seem to love what i do, mainly 60's with a few 50's thrown in for good measure, i try and do mostly up tempo and they dance and sing along. i find the crumblies have more energy than youngsters.

come on now....the US held it's own pretty well in the world cup. anyway with rugby it's a good match rather than the win

i love toast, burnt, not burnt, plenty of butter or just full of humour like the video. got to say, this is the only rap song i like
