To the citizens of the United States of America

Are the Utes related to the Whites? Or is it just another color? I do notice that the Whites are given the blame for most things bad. I notice too that it is even illegal to mention the Blacks, the Browns or the Reds, unless it's a sports team. However, as far as accomplishments go I'm just proud to be a Welshman, a son of a coal miner, with no desire to paint myself with wode, carry a leek, wave a daffodil but still able to sing "Calon Lan" while watching the rugger on T.V.

You ARE a trouble maker!

A Welshman!
I live but 20 miles from your border, Log, in Herefordshire..!
Many of my Summer outings on my Motor-bike take me to Abergavenny (The Gateway to Wales) to meet up with fellow motorcyclists in the Bus Car Park to enjoy a Bacon Sandwich and a mug of hot Tea!

Fortunately, Owain Glendower and his men are no longer there to attack me, on entry into Wales from England like they did in the olden days!

Paul....in the Kingdom of Mercia...... ...!

Nostalgia for you!...>>> http://www.abergavenny.org.uk/

Salutes Logjam...I too am a distant Whelshman as that's where my Grandfather was from. Unfortunately he passed on when I was six months old and I would have loved to have learned more about Wales.

12... ...You will learn cricket...

Ahem. Toronto Blue Jays

It isn't only played in the U.S. -- their teams may not be included in our playoffs but we've been stealing some of their players. Nippon Professional Baseball

What if this is my country of origin?? I'm at least 3/4 Native American, Nez Perce tribe, I think. What I was told anyway.

Nez Perce? So, is your nose actually pierced?
Also, this presents a delimna -- which part of us maintains native citizenship and which reverts? Does the A$$ revert so it can be with its own kind?

I forgot to query about learning cricket. Do you mean the chirping sounds of the insect -- or the musical attributes of Buddy Hollie's band?

Rules of Cricket for you Americans.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

....Excellent description!... ....!

To me, Cricket is a daft as watching a group (grope) of blokes kicking a pig's bladder around a muddy field, in the hope of kicking it into a fishing net at one end of the muddy field, and when successful, hugging each other and and interfere with each others private parts in the field and in the shower room.

...its called; ,"Football", apparently?

..and don't get me started on; "Rugby", or "Tennis", or anything else involving playing with; "balls".... ...!

Paul....NOT an enthusiastic Football Watcher!... ...1

Seems quite like the U.K. version of the Hokey Pokey for larger kids...

The "Footbal" you describe is called "Soccer" here; not sure why since punching the ball is rare and seldom results in a desired effect.

You've had no balls for anything you play?
