Well, it's Boris Blacher innit? It is! But since Uncle Sid ain't allowing me any more points on the board I'm not playing.
Now why is that? I see that points board isn't being updated until Tuesday. Is this what you're referring to?! |

Indeed, I am languishing on 390 points as from mid last week, despite getting two clear bulls eyes, and other stuff, so I reckon I am on about 1085 points. Therefore, I down tools and strike. I know the answer but won't tell you. So there! Us Welsh, we is Bolshi! Although basking in our Triple Crown Victory of course, and did not England crumple? |

When it comes to Rugby and England, you Welsh should do well to remember that Rugby is, and always was, IN England (and not in Wales, or anywhere else!). Baz Sorry Baz, (You Welsh? That is not friendly is it, you mean 'the original Britons don't you?) Rugby was invented by Owain Glendwr when he chopped the head off an English Tax Collector and it was finally kicked over the gates of Cardidff Castle. Or alternativerly, Webb Ellis' father was stationed in Ireland with the Dragoons, where, it is said, he would have witnessed the native game of Caid (Cad), could he have passed this on to his son or was Willian's act of running with the ball one of pure inspiration? All branches of the Celtic race played Caid. There were two basic forms, Cross-country and field caid. The word 'Caid' means scrotum of the bull. The Welsh say that Caid was just a derivative of their sport of Criapan. The Cornish called it "hurling to goales" which dates back to the bronze age, the West country called it "hurling over country", East Anglians "Campball", the French "La Soule" or "Chole" (a rough-and-tumble cross-country game). In fact, there had been traditions of ball-in-hand sports games for centuries before Webb Ellis' was born. So Ya-Boo to the Rugby School legend |

Just look at any simple road map to see where Rugby IS (and has always been). Are you telling me that when Owain Glendwr kicked the head of an English tax collector (and who could blame him?) he was remotely 'bothered' (in some way) as to whether he had infringed the offside rule? The truth is that ONLY we English could have invented rules sufficiently arcane to give the sport any credibility whatsoever. As for you Welsh - you do a really good job with all the sheep, and I should defy anybody who claims they know more about a scrotum than do the Welsh. So there you go - hochai! Baz |

Please could you take your Rugby discussion (if that is what it is) somewhere else.
Thank you

Your post isn't really worth replying to.
I know where Rugby is.
You said: "The truth is that ONLY we English could have invented rules sufficiently arcane to give the sport any credibility whatsoever"
OK, only the English could be so stupid.
You said: "As for you Welsh - you do a really good job with all the sheep, and I should defy anybody who claims they know more about a scrotum than do the Welsh"
Cheap insults Baz, it's not very edifying is it? Just because you lost there is no need to sink to insulting the Welsh is there?
And I do not recognise the word Hochai as being Welsh.
Sorry Tommo, I withdraw now.

But since Mr. Grew ain't allowing me any more points on the board I'm not playing. We do not know quite of what Madame can be thinking. As we see Mr. Inquisitor has already reminded her that a process of useful computerization is taking place at present at odd moments; it is proceeding on the whole very satisfactorily and the anticipated date for calculation and distribution of every one's points is now as he points out Tuesday. Until now we have had to enter manually both information about each message and calculations of time lapses; henceforth messages will be extracted from the HTML page by a computer programme and the information gathered and calculated auto-matically. All we shall have to do is choose for each message a single message type index. We apologise for the present syncope and advise her that the most appropriate response to it is as ladies down the ages have known instinctively to carry on as though it is not happening. |

If India or Pakistan were in The Six Nations would you ever post this (your post intacto but with the word Welsh removed) "As for you Punjabis - you do a really good job with all the sheep, and I should defy anybody who claims they know more about a scrotum than do the Punjabis. Not very nice is it Baz? Think that's funny? And not only would your post be removed you would have the Race Relations Board breathing down your neck and The High Commission involved. Us Welsh may be easy targets, being small, and talking funny, but My God, we is dead ferocious when we have to be. |

Come on, Antheil. You dish it out but you can't take it. You posted this not so long ago: http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=415.msg89614#msg89614the Welsh bit of which translates as something like: all the English are a***holes. And you've called the English mongrels before (as opposed to the pure-bred Welsh, no doubt). |
