Natal had mint?

Zulu references are always great. We need more of them.

Soften 'em up with a Mortar barrage.

I side with ther Herbivores. Why? Cows, Giraffes, and Horsies. Mostly Cows and their...ooohhhh~ large endowment.

Carnivores *rolls eyes*

Loved the movie Zulu. Have you ever seen Zulu Dawn? A much more historially correct film.

I always preferred these words.

What's the use of wearing braces?
Spats and hats and boots with laces?
Vests and pants you buy in places
Down on Brompton Road?

What's the use of shirts of cotton?
Studs that always get forgotten?
These affairs are simply rotten,
Better far is woad.

Woad's the stuff to show men.
Woad to scare your foemen.
Boil it to a brilliant hue
And rub it on your back and your abdomen.

Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on
Anything as good as woad to fit on
Neck or knees or where you sit on.
Tailors you be blowed!!


Romans came across the channel
All dressed up in tin and flannel
Half a pint of woad per man'll
Clothe us more than these.

Saxons you can waste your stitches
Building beds for bugs in britches
We have woad to clothe us which is
Not a nest for fleas

Romans keep your armours.
Saxons your pyjamas.
Hairy coats were made for goats,
Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas.

March on Snowdon with your woad on,
Never mind if you get rained or snowed on
Never want a button sewed on.
"Bollocks to the breeze!

... singing that parody in the wrong pub can get yourself killed...

Not a real issue around here.

Not a lot of Welsh pubs where you are, eh?

Michigan, USA A positive dearth in fact..

Ah yes, Hen of Harlech. My favorite military march; but there are so many different version of the lyrics.

Love that film - and your take on it.

Damn herbs!!! But they are so tasty!

They just need some air power to put the tasty fellows on the grill.

The movie and the song are stirring to be sure

Hehehe, Roarks Drift... wasn't it?

Hehehehe. Still one of my favorite movies ever.

God I love that movie. :)

Mess up Michael Caine's hair and the British Army will not be pleased...

They have never seen horses chasing dogs or zebras chasing cheetahs :p

Short and fat?

Hmph!

Love that movie.

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior pennants streaming
To this battlefield

Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Welshmen never yield

From the hills rebounding
Let this song be sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye
Welshmen will not yield

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior pennants streaming
To this battlefield

Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Welshmen never yield

From the hills rebounding
Let this song be sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye
Welshmen will not yield
