I'll give you the beginning

The Church of St Mary...............

Isn't it 'The Church of St Mary next to the river'? Or something similar at least. Actually, I do think I've missed a bit out.

[foot-loose]

Next to the church
This guy used to lurch.
He was a right scarey man.
He hid in the bushes
And filmed women's tooshies
And watched the tapes back in his van.

(Bushes and tooshies does rhyme.... it depends on your accent)

Pah. Mine was better.

It had hairy cheese and everything.

[Ballbag]

Yeah, but mine had the word tooshies in it.

Yeah you missed quite a bit but well done. I think the translations is

The Church of St Mary, by the white hazel, near the fast moving whirlpool and the church of St Teilo of the red cave

[Console]

Fast-moving whirlpool, river - it's all the same thing really.

[S4B]

yeah that's the same Console! well done for trying

[S4B]

It was made up for tourists Lottie who make more of a deal of it than we do. We generally just call it Llanfair pg

To be honest i have never been a huge fan of Moyles and the way he has appropriated many other DJ ideas for himself (Theft from iain lee especially grates for some reason)
However the "she looks like a fat delia smith" quote tonight on the Ramsey show was a new low.
No doubt her entire family, friends, neighbours, whoever were watching her big moment on a major C4 show.

This reminds me of when that race horse died.

[Console]

Yeah, I remember that. I think the horse was called 'Best Mate'. Chris got loads of complaints for that, although I can't actually remember what he said - I'm sure I've got a clip of it somewhere.

[catherine]

Best mate was a brilliant horse in claret and blue like Aston Villa.

[Andy B]

He said he couldn't believe people were making such a fuss over a horse and didn't understand why it was such big news. Mind you he only bets on football so I wouldn't really expect him to get it. You're either a horse person or not.

[MK Chris]

I really don't think that betting on horses makes you a "horse person".

In fact, much as I'm definitely not a horse person (and would even say I have a particular dislike for horses), I'm very much against cruelty to animals and think horse racing is actually quite cruel.

There's a debate waiting to be had.

[Console]

I'm not sure I would consider horse-racing (and any training that goes with it) cruel, although I suppose I don't really know enough about it to have an educated opinion on it.

As for Chris' comments on Best Mate, I completely agree - a horse died, an event that must happen numerous times a day - why was this horse special? I had certainly never heard of it (him/her?) before it's death, and I truly can' believe that enough other people had known of Best Mate for it to make the news. Then again, I can't believe most of the stuff that does make the news.

[MK Chris]

I'm not sure I would consider horse-racing (and any training that goes with it) cruel, although I suppose I don't really know enough about it to have an educated opinion on it.

I don't really, but personally, if I was in a race, I wouldn't want to be whipped all the way to the finishing line.

Agree or disagree with that though, I still think that people who think betting on horses makes you a "horse person" are having a laugh.

[Console]

That I agree with, in the same way that betting on * doesn't make you a * person, even if you are a complete *.

[Andy B]

Sigh.....

*decides not to get envolved with this one yet*

[catherine]

Best Mate was special because he was the best thing since Arkle! He won the Cheltenham Gold Cup three times. I'm irish, in my family if you don't watch the horse racing you are a freak and if you don't have a winning bet you are disowned.

[Sunny So Cal]

I agree with Toph. Horse racing is a cruel sport. As is greyhound racing, etc.
