Max Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 Yorkshire Before anyone says that Yorkshire is not a country.....it should be ""Never ask a man if he comes from Yorkshire.

nfh249 Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 I'm from Yorkshire too. Hull actually and YES it is part of Yorkshire. And I liked the Sydney Smith quote; it's a great quote but I also went to Sydney Smith school, so you learn something new every day! Currently exiled in Milan though. Neil.

Roxy Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 Beppo et al, My lifestyle has often been described as 'alternative', however, Mrs Roxy is a lady and I'm not! Hope this clarifies any confusion. Roxy (known to his Mum as Stuart!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 So, Stuart, are you going to spill the beans about where the "Roxy" handle comes from. Or shall I wait until the NW Pals get-together (if ever it comes off), if it's an "alternative private" sort of thing?

Steven Broomfield Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 To paraphrase what Sir William Harcourt said in.1889: "We are all Europeans now" Beppo - I'm sure Roland and I will agree that we'll consider ourselves as European when President Chirac drives to the Parc des Princes (on the left hand side of the road, naturellement) to watch Michael Vaughan hit the winning run in the inaugral France v England test series. Until that day, I'm British, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until that day, I'm British, thanks. Ciao Stefano I was, of course, speaking in a purely personal capacity. I would far rather be "in Europe" than in the trenches. I do, of course, realise that you are a lost case. As is Rolando PS Are you Roland's mystery (alleged?) friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Broomfield Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 PS Are you Roland's mystery (alleged?) friend? I am afraid I am neither in a position to confirm this presumption, nor to deny it. Suffice to say that I went to a fairly exclusive boys' High School in Cambridge; not, I suspect, the sort of educational establishment that a young Roland would have frequented. However, I do remember that, on occasion, we were allowed to play with the poorer boys from the town...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had supposed that Roland had been your fag, but it now looks as if he was merely your batman Which regiment was it? My guess would be "The Blues". PS I went to a good school as well.
