I think maybe you should learn a little about culture before you start bemoaning the lack of it.

To be honest I haven't. the images that I've seen of it haven't realy inspired me to go.

Maybe I'm missing out.

Have we won then? or is it just a ceasefire?

 

[Derian]

Nah. Brizzle and the SW got to 10,000 first. There are separate negotiations being conducted on a neutral forum with the main objective being a coalition forum to take on London.

Plus deciding what to do with the prisoners. I have a personal request in for a stay of execution for Col until we know whether or not he resembles Alan Rickman *














* but I notice he's blown that earlier - I just haven't grassed him up yet

 

[zog]

Oh, thats a shame.

Awwwr. I'm sure they were hailing you as a belated saviour once they realised what was going on and got off the defensive

Look, I don't want to let you down here, Derian, seeing as you have such a lovely piccie online , so lets have a quick run through the similarities

Two arms - check
Two legs - check
One...





Aye, well, you see where we're going with this Close enough?

 

[Derian]

I'll take that as a 'no' then





Ah well. Worth a try.


Are you going to own up or do I have to tell the head executioner or are you going to bribe me?

 

[Ben Bore]

erm...

I think these people are Croatian (see the huge flag?) competing at the International Eisteddfod perhaps

If you've never actually been to the National Eisteddfod and decide to judge it by shots and coverage on english langugae tv (or from websites about something completely differnt altogether ) you may not be getting the complete picture.

My Eisteddfod experience and that of Mrs Jones Llanrug will again be totally different,
she might go there to see singing, reciting, dancing etc in the day
I go for art tent, bands, drama, poetry and beer in the day + short films, more bands, more beer + drugs in the evening


As for famous people (not celebs ) it's a shame that we as Welsh ourselves don't know much about our own history.

Only last year did I get know of a guy called Morgan John Rhys (1760-1804) from Llanbradach.

He was way ahead of his time,

"Morgan John Rhys (1760-1804) was a Baptist minister who preached the principles of the French Revolution, against slavery, and in favour of the reform of parliament"
from wikipedia

He also belived that every child should recieve free education (and education through the medium of Welsh in Wales )

Obviously these view didn't go down well in Britain at the time and he went to the USA to try and establish a Welsh township and to campaign against slavery and the mis-treatment of native Americans.

There's was a plaque unvailed in Gelligaer this week to remember him. That was coverd on the BBC Cymru'r Byd website, but sadly I couldn't find any mention of it on BBC Wales' website

 

[Dai Sheep]

So true, so sadly true

We've got some good porn stars at the mo' - Lara Lee and Isabel Ice for example.

Never heard of Lara Lee but the few minutes i saw of Isabel Ice-
Not good.
Is there such a thing as "Welsh Porn"?
The only one ive ever heard of is Newport road trip or something-never seen it.
Is there any Welsh language porn?

 

[nwnm]

that'd give you something to get your tounge around

 

[LilMissHissyFit]
