Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I agree.

Born and raised in Nottinghamshire (where females outnumbered males 2 to 1), I moved to Yorkshire (God's Country) at the age of 29.
Having now lived in Yorkshire for 31 years, when ever I go back home (still call it that) to see my old mates, the call of , 'Here comes the sheep sh***er' as I walk into my old local is often heard. This is never given or taken in any offensive way.
The only effect it has on me is one of surprise, How did they find out!

Greek,

I have never heard of Nottinghamshire girls called sheep before.
8-)

Ah, but many were lead like lambs.

That really is offensive, Greek.

All lambs should be unleaded these days, unless it is a similar idea to Milton Keynes' concrete cows. Milk from these cows is very expensive nad is used in the cheese industry because it sets so quick.
All cheese in America has to be imported as they have no culture of their own.
Why do yanks refer to bills as cheques and cheques as bills
The shortest bill of any bird in the world is the Kiwi. They know a thing or two about sheep. The people, not the birds. New Zealand has 60 sheep for every human, though this is disputed due to the difficulties in categorising the hybrids.
Sorry, what was the question?

Alan,

Just what have you been on today. Yanks, Kiwi's and 'cheques', (don't you mean Czechs) and Hybrids. Just how politically incorrect can you get.

This thread has gone to the dogs. Politically incorrect, racist, inaccurate......I could go on but I won't. Suffice to say I am shocked and dismayed. WE, THE WELSH have sole right to the term "sheep shagger"; you lot from 'oop north' have no right to try to steal our rightful title. It has always been the same, the English trying to steal from the Welsh (no don't even think of going down the "Taffy is a Welshman, Taffy is a thief" road) - we were shagging sheep long before you lot.

Signed
Disgusted of Denbighshire (somewhat shakily)

Sheep, thats all you heathen lot can manage. Now my great, great, great (you get the idea) granddad fancied woolly mammoths. What do you think killed them all off.
Going to the dogs. OK not going down that road either.
By the way, it's oop norff. Tipical the welch cud nefer spel.
OK off out now, tonights date has just walked past the end of the field.

Please tell me it's not Mutt on tonight! She gave me the chop last week.

Remember the Yorkshire National Anthem is not Ilkley Moor Bah Tat, its "I'll never find another ewe".

Our nursery rhyme starts with "Mary had a little lamb, her father shot the shepherd".

I have known people attend clinics because they have scrapie, and our local porn shops sell knitting patterns.

Well! I never knew this before!

Q. Do you know where the 'H' comes from in 'Jesus H Christ'?

A. The H stands for Harold, as in, 'Our Father, who art in heaven, Harold be thy name'.

So now you know.

Have we moved the thread onto things I never knew???

If so, did you know King Henry the eighth never had 6 wives? He had 2 wives (or 4 if you are a Roman Catholic).

King Henry actually had over 50 wives. Problem was most of them were married to other men at the time.

Greedy bugger!

Greedy yes, but there is no evidence he was a bugger.

Well according to the man for all seasons.....

How bloody annoying - I've just opened a pack of digestives to have with my coffee - only to find they are all broken :-((

Sounds like they have been victim of a supermarket aisle rage Skinny!

I think you are right - having persevered with a couple of broken bits - I've discovered that wet digestives and keyboards do not make good bed fellows :-((

Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend



Your days are numbered, being brought to an end



To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine



But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.


The French and the Germans may call themselves such



So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch



You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane



But don't say you're English ever again.



At Broadcasting House the word is taboo


In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too


Even schools are affected; staff does as they're told



They must not teach children about England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw


The pupils don't learn about them anymore


How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons?


When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.


We are not Europeans, how can we be?


Europe is miles away over the sea


We're the English from England, let's all be proud


Stand up and be counted - Shout it out loud!


Let's tell our Government and Brussels too


We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue


Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack


Let the world know - WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK!!!!
