Tony,
I'm talking about which flag is prettier - not about whatever it was that happened in 1958 (presumably something to do with football or rugby).

Snowb4ndit,
The red dragon has been a Welsh symbol of independance since the Dark Ages of Arthurian legend (somewhere around the 6th Century), as described in the Mabinogion mythical tales. Henry V11 (father of Henry V111)carried the Welsh flag at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, because he was partly Welsh, and the green and white represents the Tudors.

Ian,
I'm 1/4 Northern Irish, 1/4 true Irish, 1/4 Scottish and 1/4 English. I am not at all Welsh. But my husband is Welsh and therefore my kids are half Welsh, plus half of all my odd fractions, and hence truly mongrel British.

Tony,
Only when I drink too much tea :wink:

Ian,
I was only joking. I can actually do it with one leg as long as I lean on the chair.

And, in fact, I have one leg stronger than the other one, so I might find this exercise beneficial, thanks. I find I can balance for much longer standing on my stronger leg, and I notice my turning is much easier in one direction than the other, when I'm ski-ing.

Ally

Pablo,
She's got it up on facebook, but she has to accept you first as a friend before you can see it. So, unless you're already on her list of 'friends', you have to ask her very nicely if you can see her video.

What about your ski videos? Surely you must have lots. Have you got them up somewhere where we can see them?

Ally

I'm not paying any attention to you two - Ian and Tony,

You are only jealous because the Welsh flag is much prettier than the English flag, which is just another 'red cross' (I think). How many red (or white) crosses are there, for goodness' sake :shock:

And Snowb4ndit managed to get her Welsh flag to ripple very nicely :D.

Ally

Thanks very much Admin :D

If I ever feel the need to 'lurk' I will try it out.

Ally

Look here Ian,
I have enough trouble doing leg squats with both legs, never mind on one leg :roll:

Do you do one handed press ups as well?

Ally

Snowb4ndit,
Thanks for your pm. I looked at your video. You look great - as Tony said, nice and relaxed. And you look as though you could ski quite a long way without falling over :-)

Thanks,
Ally
