Dave&Olive Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 STOP PRESS It has just been confirmed that operation code name "TAFFY" ( the Welsh invasion of France ) will take place on the 22nd march 2005 .from Portsmouth departing 22.30 hours and landing in St. Malo at aprox 08.30 the next day. The assault team consisting of D.I.Y Dave a total novice in French building tactics Olive with hands bigger than a J.C.B 4cx front bucket ( you would not like one of them aside your ear ) ,a team of 3 of the most savage mousers wales has to offer ( their names for this mission will be Illy , Rosie and Holly, but Holly has been known to use the alias Squeak from time to time. There transport will consist of one Opal Frontera a trailer with the compulsory bobcat mini digger( just in case the French have put up defences in 79) and a support unit of one (Swifts of Wrexham) removal van. So far we cannot see any complications in this invasion but comments and help will be welcomed Dave very shaky Olive more so cats at the moment so lay back the could be French spies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I will have to get hold of Miki and see if he will come with me to welcome you. I need someone to hold the other end of the "GO HOME TAFFY" banner!!!!Olive and the cats, of course, are welcome.Poor Olive. Does she know that every meal you eat in France has to be cooked from scratch? I love cooking so I enjoy it but no take-aways, no M&S ready meals....

Miki Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 will have to get hold of Miki and see if he will come with me to welcome you. I need someone to hold the other end of the "GO HOME TAFFY" banner!!!!Right Alexis, won't be long, just finishing off the welcome banner, how does Hop Off You Taffs sound ?I am still getting over an old mate playing for Wales, he had to ask where it was for the first home game. Eric Young was about as Welsh as Vinnie Jones !!! I think he qualified to play for Wales having seen Free Willy at the cinema, closest Eric had been to Wales Dave are you sure that you and Olive are really Welsh as I haven't quite finished the banner yet, not too late to come clean and it's not just cos Wales have finally a couple of games on the trot at rugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaligoBay Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 <<Does she know that every meal you eat in France has to be cooked from scratch?>>So don't forget to bring your own scratch. The French stuff just isn't the same, although you get used to it after a few years. "Scratch & Leek" sounds good...... no, on second thoughts it doesn't.

Miki Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 ....we are true Welsh once played for denbighshire under 16 school boys Is that the Royal we Dave or did Olive play for the under 16 schoolboys as well ?"in 19** ort spot at the Cardiff arms park so the rugby thing is not just a jump on the bandwagon thing" I have read that last bit 20 times and still can't make head nor tail of it, sorry.

Dick Smith Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think, m'lud, that he intends to convey the information that at an indeterminate date in the 1960s he played for Denbighshire (schoolboys) at the Cardiff Arms Park, and the exact date eludes him due to over-indulgence in the 'smoking cannabis' thread. Yes, m'lud, Rugby football. A form of sporting endeavour, m'lud, a game for hooligans played by gentlemen. No, m'lud, I don't suppose they did play it at Eton in your day...He goes on to imply strongly that, unlike some others, he is no fair-weather fan, but has supported his national team through thick and thin and thin. As m'lud pleases, I shall get m'coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Well blige me Dick, you knew all that from Dave's post ?Ye gods, you must have read much of Conan Doyle from an extremely early age. For my part, I am still wondering if Olive was the better player of the two Father was a Merthyr man and when he sang Land of my Fathers, I would pretend to run on the pitch at CAP and be the new Gareth Morgan, dummy one, dummy two, swivel hips one way then the other, YYYYEEEESSSSSSSS, the winning try to Miki "Dai" Jones..........................Hang on Dick, I'll just grab my coat as well.....................

SaligoBay Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 <<I would pretend to run on the pitch at CAP and be the new Gareth Morgan,>> Hey, I know Gareth Morgan! He dropped in the year before last on his way to watch Neath playing at Béziers, and we drank a lot on the terrasse.......... no no, hang on a sec, TOH is just telling me he thinks there might be more than one Gareth Morgan in Wales....... can this be true?

Miki Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 SB,I have made an error in so much in that I meant to say Gareth Edwards and got mixed up between Cliff Morgan and Jonathan Davies (not sure how Davies crept in but anything is useful in an excuse )So meeting Morgan and not Edwards don't impress me much (I feel a song coming on here...)Now if you were to say, you also had made an error in the surname, then you are truly honoured to have met one of THE men of Welsh rugby history.Now why didn't Dave pick that up or was he just being kind by saying nothing I also believe there is more than one Gareth Morgan in Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
