Post by: The Moan Ranger on November 27, 2007, 11:00:50 AM
This odd gent wants to put the Welsh Dragon somewhere in the Union Flag.

Surely an invalid carriage would be a more apt symbol of the boyos  whistle:

Would somebody explain to the w@nker who wrote that report for the BBC that the "Jack" is the fvcking nickname of the  bowsprit of a ship from which the national colours are traditionally flown. It is the Union Flag. evil:

Valium 2mg tablets ~ my GP hands them out like Smarties . Currently I have some 450 of them!  eeek:








Popped back to say I am supposed to take one or two tabs up to three times a day ~ as required ... which seems a pretty elastic definition of a thought out prescription for an addictive anti depressant. Also he has added them to the repeat prescription for the heart pills etc so every month when I renew those I get another 168 valium.

"Not I" quoth the raven Beagle

Well there has been Murder Most Foul in Prestatyn and the Bill are everywhere. God knows where they have borrowed them from 'cos I'm bloody sure they can't all be from the local force ~ anyway they weren't in the least interested in a grey haired old tosser driving (erratically perhaps) a Citroen Picasso with three children aboard.

Mr Beelzebub's wise words on our sheep loving neighbours:-

"OF COURSE, if we really want to talk about wasted money, how about the £7.5 billion a year paid out in incapacity benefits for such debilitating illnesses as “tiredness”, gout and acne?

I realise that it’s a convenient way for the government to keep the underclasses off the unemployment register, and seeing as they’ve no intention of ever working anyway that’s probably a justifiable step, but do they have to be quite so blatant in their bare-faced bribery?

The Department of Work and Pensions has a checklist of 480 possible complaints that people of working age have used to receive incapacity benefit, including almost 2,000 claimants recorded as suffering from obesity ( pocketing £4.4 million), another 1,100 with sleep disorders, and 50 with the skin disorder acne. So that’s fat, lazy and spotty – remind you of anyone? The average teenager, perhaps?

And guess where the most incapacity claimants in Britain are located? Wales, that’s where. The land of leeks, song and sick notes. And almost one in five of the nation’s slackers seems to be living in or near Merthyr Tydfil, where the principal industry appears to be swinging the lead.



A plan to twin the town with Liverpool can’t be far away."

Very novel.

A Dragon with an arse at both ends.

You could get through a lot of duvets with that.

Some do ~ so much so that they have had to reinvent a dead language and "Welshyfied" any number of words to make it work.
Independence? Don't make me laugh ~ last year they wanted to make Liverpool the capital of North Wales and declare independence from South Wales.
The only reason that anyone at Westminster listens to them is because they, like the Scots, return so many Labour MPs. Take them all out of the equation and the Labour Party has no majority.
