Hello From My Englishness

Morning peeps. How'd the rugby go? I'm not much for sports except cricket.

I like that description of modern football, though. "Twenty-two millionaires kicking a pigs bladder around a field". :)

*waves to nick*

Morning Numie.
For a Wales born dragon the rugby was disastrous.
Love the modern football description.
Love cricket but not up to speed with it
As a participant I do enjoy synchronised horizontal gymnastics, preferably without spectators.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday

I quite like the idea of spectators :devil: Probably just the idea, though :) Unless they're joining in... :eek: *stops digging hole* :rolleyes:

Oh dear on the rugby. Time to come back later in the tournament, though?

Hi Nick, hope you're not offended by my teasing. It's the usual thing, new environment, trying to impress the newbies ( probably won't work).
GEORGIE, welcome. Nice to have a few more ladies looking in.

Thank you so much for the welcome :)

I hope you're all sat down eating a good old Sunday roast now, a lovely bit of Englishness :D
 
We have to hate the French, it's genetic. No idea about rugby I'm afraid, even with the best intentions we rarely got beyond the beer tent:).

One of many things I could never suss out was why, when they bent over a lot of the time, did they wear the tightest shorts in the sporting world? Always a puzzlement....

Hello there, I hope you don't mind the intrusion (you all seem to know each other from old) but I read Englishness and Scotch and thought I could fit in here. I'm Georgie, nice to meet you all :rose:

Welcome Georgie! It’s always nice to see a fresh face round here.
 
au contraire (and many many other foreign words in the English language)
I love France and the French. Wine and cheese (the stronger the better)

But when it comes to rugbi I support 2 teams. Wales and anyone playing England. (Oh I love saying that and English people that just don't get it... It's like some English people can't separate Britishness and Englishness. And I reckon therein sums up Brexit....

Wwweooooooooh! Did he just mention Brexit! Barely a page in and tramps been slagged off and Brexit won't die!

;)
Im with you completely on this one, Bach.
The French produce good falling over water and cheese, not overkeen on the salty goat stuff mind. But, true as I'm standing by here, I shed a tear of joy whenever the frenchies beat England at rugbi.

Welcome, Georgie!

Feel free to mooch around the kitchen!
 
To be honest. Rugbi is the winner. I hate the French winning usually, coz they are as arrogant as the English (sorry but it's true... I fooking spit fearhers when Brian is on!)

But the French are a young team, they've come out if nowhere (you'dve hit great odds on them a few weeks ago) and the Scotts are playing physically powerful... It's great to have upsets. Keeps everyone on the edge of their seat.

Anyone into pugilism? The Gypsy was king reading the BBC report!

The French were great. Biggar did you no favours though...

As an Englishman I enjoyed this weekends performances a lot but I totally agree with you about Brian Moore...
 
Between midday Tuesday and Wednesday, they predict we will get 4-8" of snow here.
I would like to request a transfer.

Bloody hell.

Here's hoping that - if it has to hit - it happens overnight.

There is a special part of hell for a blizzard that hits during work hours and stops you getting home!

I can't really complain. Compared to the eight years that I lived in western New York state, Chicago winters are pretty easy. Average total snowfall here is three feet. In Buffalo, NY it's eight feet. :eek:
