[Michael Alexander]

Are you a friend of Rhona?   

[Bertie Horak]

1. Yes, and
2. Ireland playing a good game at the moment...

... but you're my friend too!  Should I then have said the outcome would be a draw??? 

[Rhona]

The Irish would never draw with the Scotts - we gonna kick them from one end of the pitch to the next until they beg us for mercy 

Lo lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly.
Our love was on the wind,
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
Lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
They must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.[/b][/color]

[Rhona]

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

From the mighty Glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick
To Dublin town
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Hearts of steel
And heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until
We can fight no more
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

       

[Julie Vice (Willson)]

God Save the Queen
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!
O lord God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their politics,
On you our hopes we fix,
God save the Queen!
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world ov'er
From every latent foe,
From the assasins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign!
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

 Since we're all singing now....

  Hart wie Kameldornholz ist unser Land
  und trocken sind seine Riviere.
  Die Klippen, sie sind von der Sonne verbrannt
  und scheu sind im Busche die Tiere.
  Und sollte man uns fragen:
  Was halt euch denn hier fest?
  Wir konnten nur sagen:
  Wir lieben Sudwest!....

By the way - the river is flowing trough Usakos at the moment - wish I was there!

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Thats the one for all of us Bertie

I sing with you here
