im
look its not your business what im doing tbh
but im in a nook in a good old man boozer in a shady end of dublin 1
and theres a gang of labouring miners sons in the corner and theyre speaking half english half elvish and every ten minutes one breaks into song and they all join in for a few minutes
what a wonderful sub race

there appears to be a lark
a lark, mind
where every thirty minutes the elf with the hairclip upon his person pays for the round
ok it may be 15 mins these elves can put em away
the hairclip is currently attached to the shoelace of a florid hirsute giant, they all join in to count down the last ten seconds while patting themselves like self-policing airport security, its all quite sweet

one of them jostled me coming back from a smoke, i accepted his apology but gestured him close and discreetly informed him that the next time it happened myself and my comrade would take the twelve of them out and give them a damned good thrashing and he has been roaring it to the pub since
but we will

I've never knowingly known a welsh person

What? Is this one of those things like never meeting a person from Leitrim?My current workplace has only ever had one Welsh people but tons of Scottish people. Come to think of it, they were never there at the same time...

i've been in the presence of a welsh person, like sat next to one on a plane or in the pub or whatever. but i've never had a colleague, pal, friend of a friend etc. that was welsh
― frederik b. godt (jim in vancouver), Friday, 7 February 2020 17:58 (four years ago) link
clannish enough, the welsh

did you frag some elves
― otm into winter (rip van wanko), Friday, 7 February 2020 20:05 (four years ago) link
me personally no, nv otoh may have, im not up to speed on the vernacular
the fella with me was telling me about the time he drunkenly bought a horse with his mates and it won at cheltenham, absolute ealing stuff
― BSC Joan Baez (darraghmac), Friday, 7 February 2020 20:39 (four years ago) link
1st Place: £351,688
i wonder if this exceeded the price of the horse plus necessary maintenance ans various overhead, i would reckon so, that is a cool story
― otm into winter (rip van wanko), Friday, 7 February 2020 23:42 (four years ago) link
depends on the race I'd think, that sounds like a lot of prize money
― Todd Phillips, party auteur (Noodle Vague), Friday, 7 February 2020 23:49 (four years ago) link
prize money in question was a fraction of that, tho not pittance
but they all backed it at between 50-33/1, literal shutters down in all the local bookies
they made out like bandits and partied with liz2 in the winners tent afterwards
afterwards, the syndicate had an offer of ten times what theyd paid for the horse,but it came to blows at the meeting and alas all fell apart. was sold for a mere twice original cost the next year and yerman still isnt talkin to his uncle he sez

its better told over a few pints with elves singing and japing in the background, the ra got involved, his father in law lumped on and they both agreed not to tell the respective mrss, hes still drinking it, etc

Stewie on FG said someone ran like a Welshman in pejorative fashion. How does a Welshman run?

Can be difficult as lots of them don't even sound Welsh. Every time I come across a famous person I didn't know was Welsh I think about having a Secretly Welsh thread but, right now, the only one I can think of is John Prescott.
