Welcome to our forum and a special welcome to Park Lane whenever you are in our neck of the woods.

 

And don't be too worried about being Welsh; it happens to some people. Life can be like that sometimes.

Nice one Merv but i`m not welsh i was born and raised in south benfleet, hence the Canvey Connection. I moved away 17 years ago.

To a better a Area......a bit like me! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Now don't get all defensive. To deny that you're Welsh is to deny all your celtic brethren, all your cymru culture and your rustic roots there in the valleys and in the hillsides. Be proud of your Land of Song, birthplace of Ivor Emanuell and Neddy Seagoon. Be brave, own up to your Welshness and accept the fact that you have experienced, first hand, a true 'welsh rarebit' [a virgin from Cardiff].

 

Be Proud. Be Welsh. It's better than being Scotch!

I wouldnt go so far as to say that. South east Essex does have some charms. give me some time and i`ll think of one!

[Guest]

Celtic brethren! I`ve never even been to Glasgow!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

How many posts does it take to stop being an onlooker?

[Merv]

If you're Welsh, 35. English folk can do it for less. Sorry!

[Guest]

I can tell there is going to be some good banter on here. I can assure you there is no welsh in me, honest, never has been, never will be. Do you think i doth protest too much. Going to bed now. Welsh indeed! The wife is tho` and my boy.

And neither in Daffyd, of Llandhui Breffi, as apparently he's "the only gay in the village".

Ohh Merv - I do feel sorry for you, you must have thought you had a friend at last! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[cangull]

Swanseacanvey - Look new member, if I were you I would just admit that you are Welsh! You see Merv has extraordinary powers on this Forum and who knows what he will do now, just pacify him, until the end of the season at least.. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[American FLEET FAN No1]

He is definitely Welsh.....he is Jones the Onlooker, like jones the Bread and Jones the Milk....et al <img src="/images/graemlins/alk.gif" alt="" />

so you admit you have been in some welsh then.. or am i missing the point .;-)

[Guest]

been in some not taken any!

Prynhawn da swanseacanvey, shwd i chi? O le i chi'n dod, Benfleet? Pryd cyrhaeddoch chi a Cymru? (or should that be Gymru, Welsh grammar has always confused me.)

 

We must talk more, especdially in your native language. I think we should try to make you feel at home on our very English discussion board. Vic knows some Welsh, but most of it is unprintable.

 

Here on Canvey the fans are quietly optimistic about the season and it's nice to know that even in your corricle on the River Taff you are with us.

[cangull]

No,No Merv, Ancestral relates to me as Irish/Scottish descent, McDonalds of Kingsburgh would you believe and as Irish Monaghan, I love the pipes and the drums but am truely a cockney, just listen to my eloquent speech.

[cangull]

Oh and Merv - I wont take offence at the Scotch part of your message.!!!
