Antonia!!! I accidently deleted your comment! Oops, sorry :D
I hope you leave it again!
heheehe!! nevermind! :-)
It was just teasing (playfully) the Welsh & fueling that good ol' English-Welsh rivalry!
(Chris is half-welsh though, so I can say stuff like that!!)
-x-
First off, we aren't obese, we are festively jolly.
2nd, budweiser is not a beer.
Man, all you aussies, think you know us huh?
Antonia, I had moved this post so I think that's where I lost your comment! Yes you are allowed to say that about the welsh now that you are engaged to one ;)
Cubicle Reverend,
Festive Jolly, I like that lol. Nah we Aussies don't think we know you, or do we???
truthfully, I have only met lovely Americans and I have visited the country, 4 or 5 times, I lost count...
lol, so that is who I am! It seems to be all about beer and cars in Germany, but mind you, I hate Sauerkraut! Yuck. for the rest everybody is intvitesd to find out themselves :)))
Stef!
I thought you would like that one.
For the record, I love sauerkraut, and would love to come visit some day :)
You love Sauerkraut? When oyu come and visit I will cook a big pot of it! (Still have to learn how to cook it I guess...)
