Re: Hasta La Vista boyo

and proud of it eh ?


yes the very attractive ms zeta jones and the grandfather mr douglas :disturbd:

famous ? famous to the welsh maybe :p

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

I don't think he really doesn't know about Wales - to me it just looks like another example of "My America is so wonderful and great, by pretending not to have heard of other countries it'll perpetuate the idea that we don't know or care about other lands", but then again, I could be wrong and that's a discussion for another thread :D

A certain Mr William Clinton Esq used to come here regularly before he was more well know as he is a fan of Dylan Thomas, it's also rumoured he's been here since, too. Is that 'famous' enough for you 'boyo'??

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Erm... But isn't 'Toronto, ON' still part of Canada then?

Ron :shrug:

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Yes it is, but our Jezza has dual-citizenship which means he can profess loyalty to either nation, depending on how popular/unpopular america happens to be that week :D

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Saucer of milk for Russ!! lol

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Hey!! I could have said that Canada/america are all the same thing!!

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

I sas just joking. I know all about Wales and how York is the capital.

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

No wait.... York is the capital of Scotland, not Wales, right?

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Yep.....

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

In the UK, a wales is a frequently used measure (especially by newspapers) of the size of a country. For example it might be said that 480 wales could be fitted into Canada. However, please note that this is a measure of quantity, not quality. In terms of quality, and at a very rough guess, I'd say that 1 Canada equals about 0.5 of a wales. Has anyone got a better estimate? :D

PS For smaller countries, we in the UK often use the Isle of Wight as a measure of size. For extremely small countries, eg Liechtenstein, the Isle of Wight ferry might be a more suitable measurement of area.

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

I quote form the article in the link:

He was a rising name in bodybuilding when he was invited to the Mr Wales contest in 1967.

Pensioner Joan Thomas from Maesteg remembers sitting next to the Californian governor at the competition.

"He was 20 and I was 32," said Mrs Thomas.

So, most people who were around the last time a famous person visited Wales are now pensioners. :)

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

No, Heckmondwike is the capital of Wales....

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Actually, when I think of those two, I think of Gold and digging for some reason...

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo

*can see it now kronas sits in his chair in wales gets a knock on the door with the entire handful of the welsh population out to take revenge for his comments :p

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Kronas vs. The Welsh.

Could be a fun fight...

:D

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

idly comments that I am half Welsh, on my Father's side - just an aside, don't want to stir any passions..........;)

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

So what is the story with Wales and velcro gloves?

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Maybe they make holding on for the ride easier?

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

:disturbd: :Yikes: :sick:

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

That's a new one on me..... :confused:

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

But it seems a bit half hearted. A bit of quick googling tells me that the licence should say Abertawe, not Swansea.

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

you mean like this?

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

In Swansea, we call it, er......Swansea :) not Abertawe.

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Looks Ok to me. Now, for the bonus point, would you care to put in the Welsh for Lebanon. :)

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

I was only half jesting here. On the odd occasion that I have visited Wales, I'm sure that some of the road signs were bilingual; Cardiff comes to mind.

PS On one of these occasions, a fellow passenger commented that there seemed to be a lot of Cross Keys (places or pubs I can't recall) in Wales. Was his attention (or even mind) wandering, or is it true?

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
 

Actually that's right, there are loads of pubs with that name, not sure about towns though, I only know of one.
