[B]Oppresed Welshmans club[/B]

[Strike For The South]

I just found out im half welsh so with my new swell of patriotism and my horrible attention span here it is a wlesh club post all things welsh here

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I'm pleased that your new-found heritage excites you. I would give you a hand on your voyage of discovery, but I live in the pansy urban south, and I'm not very Welsh at all, really.

I'm can't remember if we have any valleys lads here. Monkian's from Newport, though, so if you want to find out how to burn down buildings and joyride cars the Welsh way, he's your man.

EXCELLENT

[Reverend Joe]

I'm half Irish, so I can't join your club, but I will support a fellow Celt.

[Papewaio]

Half Celt ... Mum's Welsh.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Mostly Irish and Scottish, so I'll support my fellow Celts! A pint for all the welsh!

So 800 years of the England banging your heads against prison walls didn't teach you your lesson about no more Welsh Patriotism.

Well it seems like you need the English to give you another 800 years of oppression to get the Welshness out of you

You did say to post "all things Welsh"

[Strike For The South]

Horatius must be destroyed he has spit one our fore fathers honor nothing good shall come of englands demise

[dessa14]

if you want to be welsh, you'll have to start spelling like a welshman, with lots of stupidity, it shouldn't be hard, you are an american :P
thanks,
dizzy

[GoreBag]

I'm only Welsh by extension (Wallace), but I'm pleased that a Welshman has begun to discover his roots. Have a pint on me, you transported Q-ball.

[Lemur]

Luckily for me, there's an obsessive nut in my extended family who has created a geneology website that tracks our family back to the 1500s. In Wales. Who knew? And why does this guy have that kind of time on his hands?

Anyway, count me in as a mongrelized American/Welshman. My level of oppression varies by time of day.

[The_Doctor]

Do you know what "Welsh" means, I do, but do you?

Also, you are ruled by an inbred big eared fool. (no not Bush )

[thrashaholic]

I'm half-Welsh too on my father's side. My family there is from Cross-Keys in the valleys in Gwent (the English bit of Wales). My other half is English, so I consider myself British, but I support Wales in all sports (especially against the english) and take a particular interest in mt Welsh heritage.

Welsh means foreigner in Old English I believe, but I've also heard it comes from the English swapping G for W in latin language words beginning in G, ie Wales/Galles or Guillaume/William etc.

[dessa14]

by that do you mean our good old prince of wales.
i feel sorry for every commonwealth country (including mine) that, that guy is our heir apparent.

I will now take the role as the official enemy of the club:
SAXONS RULE! SAXONS RULE! SAXONS RULE!

[Ja'chyra]

I'm all Scottish

Incidentally, you just found out one of your parents is Welsh How did you miss that?

Do yourself a favour. Renounce this welsh-ness pronto. You'll thank me in the long run. Find your nice decent BRITISH ancestory. (make it up if you have to)

[The_Doctor]

Welsh/Wales means foreigner or slave in Anglo-Saxon.

[English assassin]

Incidentally, you just found out one of your parents is Welsh How did you miss that?

I was wondering that. Surely all the "look you, boyo" and breaking into Land of my Fathers at every opportunity was a bit of a give away? Or did you just think that's what they do in Idaho? :-)

Apathy whwn asked i just always said birtish but i was wrong so wrong

[lancelot]

British incorporates Welsh so technically its not that wrong. Besides British is better.

Says who?

Scottish is best, then Irish, then Welsh, then British and lastly English, but I'd rather be french

You're a very bad man! Spreading such lies.

If you'd rather be French then you are lost.

And how are scots the best? Be careful or we'll invade you (again) and take away your skirt-wearing (sorry- kilt-wearing )-priviliges!

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I tend to call myself British too, although I'm really technically as Welsh as you can get-both sides of my family have lived here for generations, I was born in Wales, and I still live there. Still, I'm just not Welsh. I don't have an accent, and Cardiff isn't Welsh at all, considering it's the capital. They should probably move the capital to Mountain Ash, or somewhere like that, because the current one has nothing to do with Wales.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

I'm Welsh, woohoo, shocked?

Anyway, if you want to get down to it the Welsh, Cornish and Bretons were the only people known as "British" until the late 16th century when John Dee (himself being very fond of being of Welsh descent) began the current idea of "Britishness" as being of the Island of Britain rather than being the direct cultural descendants of the original Britons of classical times.

So for most of their history the English were never considered British yet the Welsh and Cornish (and yes, even the Bretons across the channel) were.

Hmm, I'll rephrase that, I'd rather be french than English.

Me and my English wife were on holiday for one of the England Germany games, which the reps were making a night out of and had cunningly titled it WW3, oh the wit

Anyway, when they tried to sell us tickets my wife firmly told her that we wouldn't be going, when the rep asked her why she replied "Because he'll (note the loving term) support Germany" to which there was a deathly silence, the resort was full of English .

Anyway, back to the subject, don't make us burn York again, no wait, that's not much of a threat

[English assassin]

This would be blasphemy if were were merely discussing mustard, never mind a civilised person. Oh, wait. You are from Scotland... ;-)

I don't really have an issue with Scots supporting Germany/France/Poland/Iceland/whoeverthehell England happen to be playing at football, because to my mind it just underlines their own inability to put a half way competitive team on the field...

And to be honest English football fans get on my wick too.

Anyway, there's something about Taffy is a Taff that makes me thing he is a bona fide Welsh person, just a hunch I've got, so, are you going to give this new Texan Welsh person instruction on being Welsh?

[Ja'chyra]

We're getting better.

[ShadesPanther]

Actually The Scots never reached York. Damn Braveheart with battles thats should have bridges but doesn't and filmed in Ireland as well as many other stupid things (like painting their faces with an extinct plant (I think in britain)

Personally I'm happy being British and Irish. Silly Yanks give me free beer.

PS> Northern Ireland will win tomorrow
