Very few I would imagine - just winding up the Welsh contingent, occifer.

Sheep of Harlech, stand ye steady
'Cos last time ye were not ready
For the shagging full of dread ye
Ran off into the night.

There is of course the Scottish version we sang as kids
"I'm the man who came from Scotland
shooting peas at the nanny goat's bottom
I'm the man who came from Scotland
Shooting peas away

I had 19, but that was including the officers (Surgeon Reynolds, for example - who was 10 years younger than the actor who portrayed him in Zulu).

So, given that Monmouth didn't officially become part of Wales until 1972, then legally the Irish DID outnumber the Welsh.

Not morally....

I doubt that we have ever outnumbered anyone morally.

We most certainly are. This is definitely 'Zulu, the movie', including rules for Hooky and the bottle, Cooky and the soup, 'spit, boy', and many more. Soundtrack and interminable quotes from the film obligatory.

All's well with the world. I have always loved the film Zulu, I went to see it with my Dad at the Gants Hill Odeon for the first time. I think we went back a couple of times that week. We never missed it when it came up on the TV in later years, and a while back my dear Mrs bought me the special edition DVD. Even with the many anachronisms and errors no other film captured the British Imperial spirit so well. It has inspired my hobby years in every way. Thanks Gary for putting this on. I shall have a special showing for Peeler and me the night before, to get in the mood. My favourite watching of the film was when we sat and watched it in a small primary school in Notting Dale, before going out to Police the Notting Hill carnival, and I watched it with PC 532G Barry Hook, a descendant of Henry. When we patrolled in the Transit riot buses, much of the film's soundtrack would be broadcast over the van's PA system. those were different times.
"He's a Peeler 716, come to arrest the Zulus."

I will give it a watch too on the Friday night. Hopefully the missus won't mind!

Going to be a brilliant game and weekend.

Jamie and I are arriving Friday night. Anyone interested in meal and or drinks?
