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

clannish enough, the welsh

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

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.
