I've always liked the welsh since Zulu.
"...Tis a Welsh regiment, man! Though there are some foreigners from England in it, mind. I am Jones from Bwlchgwyn, he is Jones from Builth Wells, and there are four more Joneses in C Company! Confusing, isn't it, Dutchy?..."

Of the 122 soldiers of the 24th Regiment present at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, 49 are known to have been of English nationality, 32 were Welsh, 16 were Irish, one was a Scot, and three were born overseas.
I was gutted when I found out thy didn't didn't sing Men of Harlech or wear red during the battle!

Thats just rewriters propaganda. I know they did.
And in top of that, they could hear John Barry's musuc as they was killing wave after wave of murderous Zulus.
And i know one of the english was a troublesome shirker cockney.

"Welsh FSMer" - this sounds like a dish served at dinnertime. Probably stuffed with a forcemeat made from woodcocks, pheasants and boiled neeps.

BLACK ADDER
Blackwater: Sorry sir, I have bad news about your fiance
Colonel: Don't tell me she's Welsh?!
|

Its blackadder not blackwater.
And its general not colonel.
And Blackadder doesnt say that, he says..
"Because there's something wrong with your fiancee, sir."
And general Melchett doesnt say that either, he actually says
"Oh my God, she's not Welsh, is she?"
Apart from that, very accurate.

It's called a ' paraphrase' you imbecile.
Baldrick has more brain cells than you!
Btw by sheer coincidence I watched the finale of BLACKADDER last nite!

U r the imbecile.
That script is word perfect.

It should be studied in schools.
It is not meant to be fkn paraphrased.

Dear Idiot,
This is a thread about WELSH people.
It is NOT a favorite dialog thread.
The MEANING of my post is EXACTLY THE SAME as the ' word perfecr' version.
Tall Guy understands that. Then again TG possesses a brain larger than a peanut!

I learned how hard it is to write a dictionary from scratch overnight thanks to the Samuel Johnson episode.

You are missing the point, mr thicky marshall thicky.
The thread is irrelevant.
I laughed when he said that line.
When you wrote it, i didnt.
Ahh i realised why...paraphrased.
Clearly comedy scripts isnt your forte.
Havent you got a command to leave out somewhere?

And what was Baldrick's definition of C (sea)? - A big, blue, wet, wobbly thing?
