COLD DARK ROOM

Oh no! We are all part of the UK/British but Wales and England are pretty big rivals - especially in rugby!
Scotland recently had a big referendum to leave the UK and go it alone but not enough voted for it.
Wales have there own government but still under British gov too. I don't think Wales could manage on its own.

I'm not much on foreign matters.

Nor me - I've learned more about the US since joining the forum than I knew before.

It's so true.

We live in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to give our country its full and correct name.

The UK (or Great Britain as it is also known) comprises the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and the principality of Wales.

The four "home nations" could be thought of as states like those in the USA as 3 out of 4 (not England) have some of their government devolved to local parliaments; they are in Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff. Laws affecting all 4 countries and laws affecting just England are controlled by parliament in London.

The home nations are very competitive when it comes to sport, especially rugby and football (soccer). Calling all British people English is very insulting ... our countrymen are English, Irish, Scottish (not Scotch - that's whisky) and Welsh... we are all British though.

My mother is Welsh, from near Swansea, but I was born in England. When it comes to rugby, I am Welsh first!

Very glad to hear it!

How has your day been? Joe'sMum

Very, very busy. Another one coming up tomorrow starting with a 7.15am meeting with the Principal at the school where I am Chair of Governors and finishing with packing

Friday is HOLIDAY!

 

[Lyn W]

That's an early meeting I do hope they are providing breakfast! A croissant and juice/coffee at least!
Where are you off on holiday?

Coffee and croissants will happen. I meet with him fortnightly and this is the last for the academic year. He has to teach period 1, so we do it early. It's a secondary, but times are harsh as you know and even the principal has a teaching load now.

Holiday is in Languedoc. Cheese, wine and sunshine

Oh yes I forgot your schools are still in - our head doesn't teach,
Your holiday sounds lovely, I hope the weather is better for you, and for us come to think of it.

Well its very quiet in here who's for a pub crawl!
See you in the Red Lion!

Pub crawl not advisable before my meeting tomorrow. I don't think the hangover would go down well. Time for bed for me

I'm back to put up some photos

These are the new triplets. I know that the pen is too small but it's the last isolation area I have left.
Bertha has the best one.

Thanks Ed they are lovely and all look similar size. They seem to have settled in quickly.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

They ate but I cheated and fed them Mazuri and banana as a welcome home meal.
They are about 30% smaller than my largest.
And I plan to ask the collective about sex soon.
I can never tell. To me it looks like one male and two females.

I had a conversation with Joe's mum a few days ago about how much I liked women with British accents and she corrected me. There is no such thing. Rather many different ones.
Now my inside Lyn voice might have a different sound as I read your posts.
What does an accent from Wales sound like. I'll Google it.

...and so she should!
They have beautiful markings. I had no idea there were so many different sorts of torts until Lola came into my life.
It's been a real education!

I'm leaving again.
Sleep nice.
Good night.
