So its the Jewish lads Brigade band in disguise then. chalkyc Always wondered why the boss had a large nose mark peers Whats with the trousers, should be skirts up there. Oh i mean kilts. Errol I think that you'll find that they are called 'breeks' Mark. The kilts are more for your highland regiments as against the lowlanders (sasanachs) attire. Must'nt go and upset our Caledonian friends now ya ken. Mr Bass Trombone Why not upset our Caledonian friends, we have been doing it for years, so why break the habit of a lifetime, and one must remember that they also upset us, especially some of those in high office.

Just for you Mick..I'm sure this 'load of balls' will cause you to have split loyalty... The defeat of the Armada may not have been due to the superiority of the English. Examination of cannon balls found on the bottom of the North Sea has shown that Spanish cannonballs were not all the same size. Different sizes of gun required different sizes of cannonballs. It has been suggested that the Spanish ships were not equipped with the right cannonballs for the guns on board their ships and were therefore unable to fire on the English ships that attacked them. They therefore chose to retreat, possibly to the Netherlands. The high winds prevented them from reaching port and dashed the ships against the rocks of northern Scotland. See..??? Even then we were looking out for our ASBO neighbours.... Errol Rab, one is aware,that all the fighting ships of that era carried various size of cannon and carronade.!!! The english fleet were fewer and smaller.The spanish fleet unfortunately did not have the local knowledge of the tides and charts.They were led by Spanish noblemen (pongoes) who were not mariners. You are right in suggesting though 'they did'nt have the balls'. Hornblower Play nicely boys!! Aaron Aardvark naaaaaaaaaaaaa we haven't had a good splatup in here for ages. Mr Bass Trombone Rab, What a load BALL's, things like this explain why we ENGLISH,apart from the known fact that wee jockie's have short arms and long pockets don't spend to much time in their company at the bar, it does'nt matter how big your balls are it's the way you use em, and our's were big enough to send you lot back over the wall. Have a nice day. See you at the bar. Adios , Hasta Octubre. jock anything to keep aaron happy The average Englishman, in his home he calls his castle, puts on his national costume - A shabby Raincoat patented by Charles MacIntosh of Glasgow, Scotland. He drives a car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop of Dreghorn, Scotland. At the office he recieves his mail with adhearive stamps which, although they bear the queen of England's head, were invented by John Chambers of Dundee, Scotland. During the day he uses the telephone, Invented by Alexander Graham Bell of Edinburgh, Scotland. At home in the evening he watches his daughter ride her bicycle, invented by Kilpatrick MacMillan, A Blacksmith from Dumfries, Scotland. He watches the news on television which was invented by John Logie Baird of Helensburough, Scotland and hears an item about the U.S. Navy founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland. He has now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation picks up the Bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot - King James VI - who authourised it's translation. No where can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots, he could take to drink but the Scots make the finest in the world, he could take a rifle and end it all but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland. If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table, being injected with Penicillin, discovered by Alexander Flemming of Darvel, Scotland, and given an aneasthetic, discovered by Sir James Young Simpson of Bathgate, Scotland. Out of the aneasthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank Of England which was founded by William Patterson of Dumfries, Scotland. jock oops another dig 3 guys, 1 Irish, 1 English and 1 Scottish, are walking along the beach one day and come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. "I give you each one wish, that's three wishes in total",says the Genie. The Irish guy says,"I am a fisherman, my Dad's a fisherman, his Dad was a fisherman and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full of fish for all eternity." So, with a blink of the Genie's eye "AlKaZoom" the oceans were teaming with fish. The English guy was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around England, protecting her,so that nothing will get in for all eternity. Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye "AlkaZoom - POOF" there was a huge wall around England. The Scot asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."The Genie explains,"Well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out." The Scot says, "Ach, fill it up with water jock the story of scotland At the beginning when God was creating the world, he was sitting on a cloud, telling his pal the Arch Angel Gabriel what he planned for Scotland. "Gabby", says he "I'm going to give this place high majestic mountains, purple glens, soaring eagles, streams laden with salmon, golden fields of barley from which a whisky-coloured nectar can be made, green, lush, spectacular golf courses, coal in the ground, oil under the sea....gas". "Hold up! Hold up!" interjected the bold Gabriel, "Are you not being too generous to these Scots ?" Back came the Almighty's reply. "Not really, wait until you see the neighbours I'm giving them !!!"

Shame on you all for allowing Mr BT to wind you all up like this. We went through all this back during the Six Nations Rugby..remember? So......... IF IT'S THAT BLOODY GOOD UP THERE, WHY DO YOU LOT KEEP MOVING DOWN HERE? And just one more..... England will do better than you lot in the Rugby World Cup which is being held this year in France..... wait............ oh yes!!!! Apart form the games being played by Wales in Cardiff (to help them win at least one game) and the game where Scotland are playing at Murryfield (same bloody reason I suspect). How's that HB & Aaron? Do you think they'll bite? Bye Hornblower They might have if you hadn't been so bloody obvious... 2nd Clarinet . Obvious to you, me, and 99% of our readers, but.....and it is a big but......, we are talking about jockanese, so the obvoius isn't always obvious is it? Hornblower Obviously. Duh.... bootybandy This is one thread that is going to return and give someone a severe bite on the Ass.. Hornblower mark peers Men wearing skirts and throwing telegraph poles about can't be right.Don't forget theres the agony bags or strangled cats. Dogends remember Toronto 1977. Hornblower I was there. But by then I was with BRNC. RAB ..OK..Read it all..Not particularly impressed by the level of intelligence portrayed... But Hey-Ho...Allowances for your geographically imposed subordinance... But we STILL sent you Gordon Brown.... Careful now folks..I DO know him..... Pompey Rich Bloody hell gents. I'm glad I stayed out of that one. However. I have been told that bagpipes were invented in Greece and the kilt was actually invented by an Englishman. Is this true? PS. Who would like Tony Bliar in exchange for Gordon Brown? Eh, Rab? Mr Bass Trombone Not only did you send us GB what about the rest of Bloody jockies in government. Didn't the Queen come to Scotland this week to open your so called parliament, how can you have one of those when all your MPs have been banished to the other side of the wall????. This is fun it could run for ever, but I expect I will get a good ear bashing from Rab in October, if he ever gets close enough to the bar. Adios. Hasta Octubre Mi Amigo's. Luv ya all to bits.
