CJ Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 On the eve of the match, I thought I would post this joke up. Before anyone comments, yes it was a direct copy and paste from BBC Sport. During a Wales v England match at the Millennium Stadium a lightning storm hit Cardiff and a bolt was conducted through the towers to the touch line. In a tragic accident both coaches - Mike Ruddock and Sir Clive Woodward - were killed. They were taken straight to heaven where they were warmly greeted by the Almighty. After a while, Clive was taken to his new accommodation. He was pleased to find a lovely English country-style cottage with statues outside in the form of English rugby greats. As a constant background he could hear the sweet voices of angels singing "Jerusalem" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Clive was delighted until he suddenly heard some even more beautiful singing coming from the top of the hill. He listened closer and could hear "Bread of Heaven" followed by "Land of My Fathers." Clive looked up the hill to see a great palace with statues outside of Barry John, Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams. A party was taking place in the garden with Brains SA flowing freely as the crowd watched Scott Gibbs scoring his try at Wembley against England in 1999. Clive went to the Lord and said: "Look, I don't want to appear ungrateful - my cottage is great, but why does Mike get the huge mansion?" God broke into a laugh as he replied: "Clive, you've got it all wrong! That's not Mike's place - it's mine!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - although not a precedent as I remember Neath providing something like that number a few years back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 It's just about 15.00 here and the countdown has begun. I have printed out song sheets so that the Greeks can sing the Welsh anthem and also a selection of other songs such as "Men of Harlech", "Sospan Fach" and that great Sterophonics classic "As long as we beat the English". Our local bar is opening at 16.00 to give everyone a chance to get into the swing of things and whilst me and my fellow Welshman Noel are seriously outnumbered, we will endeavour to sing our hearts out and drink ourselves stupid! Lets hope it is a good open game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
