For some! This year we are all the same age. We are all the same---erk!!
Take the year you were born ans add to it how old you are. The answer will be 2019!! For examle I am 86 years old and I was born in 1933. Add the to gether and the answer is 2019! For everyone! This comes from the mystical valleys of old Welsh folk lore---The Lloyds are related to these weidoes--- much to my chraing. But to be happy we have won sonething this year!! Wont the TCT fantisize about that.
If you want nore of these momentus trueths from the ilse of yore it will cost you big money---real big.

Welsh ancestry here also. I bet you can sing Robert. You must love Sir Harry singing this:
.......and if that didn't bring a tear to your eye, this surely will. The great Paul Robeson with the best ever rendition of the Welsh National Anthem:
another version
This is how it's done. Just play an introduction and then turn the music off and let the fans sing.....If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye you're made of stone
Parramatta Tragic: Thanks for those. I did get a tear in the eye---100% Aussie but it still affects me! Don`t bet on it that I can sing
because I can`t! I have not heard the Robeson version before.He was a unique singer. Harry Secomb I thought I knew well but I see he was knighted--I did not know that.
I learnd Land Of My Fathers in primary school 3rd or 4th grade.The teacher was Welsh to some degree. My grandparents came to live with us for a short period at that time. Grandad was walking by the school and heard our class singing Land Of My Fathers. That night after dinner he ask some question about how we came to be singing the Welsh anthem and asked my sister and me to sing it for him. I declined because I could not sing and I hated being before an audience. But I have regretted it ever since. was working in a new area once and a chap there asked my name, when I told him it was Lloyd he said Wesh? He said the Welsh are blond and blue eyed you are dark--do you know why that is? I said no I don`t. He said the Spanish Amarda got wreaked on the shores of Scotland ,Irelandand Wales. Some of them survived and intergrated into the Welsh society. Their complection and dark hair got passed down the generations. If he was right I maybe have some Spanish genes!
I like Katherine Jenkins but could not hear her as she was drowned out by the Welsh football side and 70,000 fans. The Welsh will never stop singing!
Great stuff champ. Can't argue with your logic.
As an aside, Robert, you would have been a young lad when the Eels formed, what made you choose us?
It's been quite a ride, with few joys, but it's great to see long-time supporters.
Hell On Eels : It is odd that you ask that question because I have visited it from time to time. I was a teenager going to watch the junior league home matches at Liverpool. It was the first time I began to notice the girls! I noted that they turned up with their family every second Sunday which I looked forward to--I was getting a little smile from time to time!.Then a cloud came across my sunny sky. The crowds began to drop off because Parramatta had entered the competition in 1947 and the fans preferred to watch first grade league. That included my smiling young blond. I hated Parramatta for that. Some of my mates asked to go and watch Parramatta. We did that the next Sunday and I went for the other side! Of course the other side won and I was happy for that. I notice the Parramatta crowd was noisy and abusive of the referee.We went several more times with the same result and I was happy.I started to wonder why they were down on the referees. So the next time I looked more at Parramatta than the other team which I was hoping would win. And sure enough the crowd was right, the home side was getting bum calls from the refs. This was unfair so I joined in and gave the refs a blast along with the home crowd. From then on I followed Parramatta trying to right a wrong. This was year 1949. I never saw my smiling blond ever again but I had what came the Eels to follow.
Good on you Robert, always been one of my favourite contributors on 1eyedeel.
