Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I can tell you are enjoying these so much, but alas this has run its course now. I need to find some other source of amusement, so until I think of the next thing, I will go out with a bang! Check these puppies out The Valley Vegan.............. Welsh-American Presidents: Thomas Jefferson John Adams Jefferson James Madison James Monroe Calvin Coolidge John Quincy Adams Abraham Lincoln (America's most revered President). Welsh Writers: Dylan Thomas Agatha Christie Ken Follet Roald Dahl Howard Spring Bertrand Russell Eric Linklater Danny Abse Dick Francis Jack London Gordon Thomas Leslie Thomas Gerald of Wales Phillip Pullman Welsh Musicians and Bands: Dorothy Squires Ivor Novello Howard Jones John Cale Dave Edmonds Julian Cope Tessy O'Shea Shaking Stevens Charlotte Church Gorky's Zykotic Mynci Shan Cothi David Lloyd Michael Ball Bryn Terfyl Bonnie Tyler The Alarm Catatonia Shirley Bassey The Stereophonics Super Furry Animals The Osmonds Glenys Johns The Manic Street Preachers Amen Corner Man Mabel Mercer Feeder Petula Clarke Carol Decker Iris Williams Max Boyce Sir Harry Secombe Welsh-Qualified Rugby Players that have Played for England: Stuart Barnes (Outside-half, played for Welsh schools and Newport). Jonathan Callard (Fullback, born Newport). Will Carling (Centre, born Cardiff - father played for Cardiff RFC). Gareth Chilcott (Prop, Welsh-speaking Father). Martin Cory (No.8, Welsh-speaking Welsh Mother). Huw Davies (Outside-half, Welsh Father). Willie Davies (Outside-half, born Pembroke). Reg Edwards (Prop, Welsh-born). Bert Godwin (Hooker, Welsh-born). Will Greenwood (Centre, Welsh mother. Born and bred Abergavenny, Welsh schoolboys). Simon Halliday (Centre, born Haverford-West). Jack Hancock (Second row, Welsh-born). John Kendall-Carpenter (Forward, RFU President, first Rugby World Cup organiser, Welsh-born). Josh Lewsey (Fullback/Wing. Welsh-speaking parents). Derek Morgan (No. 8, Welsh-born). Dewi Morris (Scrum-half, born Crickhowell, Powys). Nigel Redman (Second row, born Cardiff). David Rees (Winger, Welsh Father). Stan Williams (Full-back, born Rogerstone). Clive Woodward (Centre and coach, schooled in Anglesey and had Welsh schools trial) So next time an English rugby supporter accuses the Welsh of playing on too many foreign players you know what to tell them!Interesting Fact:Unlike Wales, that have a home grown patron saint, England's patron saint (George) was not remotely English. Born in Cappadocia in modern Turkey, there is no proof that his name was George. He was a Roman cavalry officer who lost his head for not renouncing Christianism. He was formally appropriated as an English patron saint in 1348 when Edward III founded the Order of the Garter. It was the Welsh Tudors, especially Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, whom decreed that the cross of St George should become the flag, rather than just a badge, of England and ordered the White Ensign to be flown by every 'English' ship. back to top fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: see..wot are you always going off about the english fer....obviously the welsh invented everything and conquered everywhere and are all masons pulling puppetstrings..its all part of their act!! fer the rest of ya..the first cowboys were spanish and First Nations ppl peter hurd Nov 23, 2005 11:26 AM Re: The Vegan Society Which ones are yours?
