Why limericks aren't popular in Wales

There was a young fellow from Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
???
Oh to hell with it!

Confessions of a gardener

I've a petrol-powered blower at last
It creates a formidable blast
I'll get the leaves done
And won't it be fun
If a short-skirted female walks past!

LOl, I like it, not many names in Wales that would rhyme.

I've seen one using Aberystwith, but somehow don't think John would like to se it here, think about it (or Google) Cardiff and Swansea should be fairly straightforward, but that's no fun.

It's scooters for grown-ups really, isn't it, and why not? You often see parents riding their child's scooter home from school. And talking of school, the "Push Bike Song" takes me straight back to my fourth year at secondary school (c1971) when we had a form teacher who was old, wise and surprisingly liberal. He allowed us to have a record player in the classroom so we could have music during our breaks, and The Push Bike Song was definitely our favourite at that time. There was a problem at one point when some of the rowdier elements of our class amused themselves by using their geometry compasses as darts, and the back wall of the classroom as a dart-board, damaging the wall cladding and posing the risk of someone being blinded by a compass point. Most teachers would have responded with threats and punishments, but not ours. Knowing that one of the culprits was gifted at art, he got him to design a giant abstract mural to cover the whole wall, and provided the rest with paints and brushes to carry it out, which they did with great enthusiasm. End of problem! He was quite a guy.

Here's a song you can practise with Rojo ....

Every time I look down on this timeless town
whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
more and more do I realize:

I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in the springtime.
I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in the fall.
I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in the winter when it drizzles,
I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in the summer when it sizzles.
I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch every moment,
every moment of the year.
I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, why, oh why do I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
Because my rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave are near.

The houses in Eglwyswrw
Are all held together with glue,
White sticky-backed plastic,
Some knicker elastic,
And coat hangers made in Peru.

How come there's no agnostic choice on the religion chart though?

Thanks guys. :)

I suppose that should be a branch after the "NONE" maybe as "ARE YOU SURE?"

"YES" leading to the Are you rich etc?, "NO" leading direct to Agnostic.

OK off you go and redraw ..................:rolleyes:
