Yes. Too afraid of upsetting the Husband and his wives.

If everyone were Irish then there would be no need for this thread, because we can and do laugh at ourselves, as does everyone else and we are not bothered.

Religion is the biggest cause of wars and unrest, if there were none the world would be a far better place. All religions say they preach peace, where the hell is it then, if anyone can find all this religious peace please let me know.

Very best regards Wez

Fully agree Wez, In this area we laugh at ourselves,some of us are,sheep shaggers,some female shaggers,some(male Sha..ers).

Whats your hobby Taffy,shaggin sheep,whats your job Taffy ,sheep shearing(bored at lunch time) well Dai sounds the same. I remember my Uncle Dai Urinal
thought sheep troughs were for bathin in.

Lets have a laugh. Dai the Post,Dai the Pub,Dai the butcher.Dai the body(Undertaker),Dai the Winker(can not pronounce A),Dai the goat,Dai the Donger, etc etc
