    Talking A joke from our English friends

    An Englishman, an Irishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman were captured while fighting in Iraq.

    The leader of their captors said: "We're going to line you up in front of a firing squad and shoot you all in turn. But first, you each can make a final wish."

    The Scotsman says: "I'd like to hear Flower of Scotland just one more time to remind me of the auld country, played on bagpipes in the style of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards."

    The Irishman says: "I'd like to hear Danny Boy just one more time to remind me of the Emerald Isle, sung in the style of Daniel O'Donnell, with Riverdance dancers skipping gaily to the tune."

    The Welshman says: "I'd like to hear Men Of Harlech just one more time to remind me of the Land of my Fathers, sung as if by the Aberavon Male Voice Choir."


    The Englishman said: "I'd like to be shot first..."

    Very good!

    Sounds like the Englishman subscribes to the adage that a gentleman is one who knows how to play the pipes but doesn't

    Great jokes,you've made me think of a joke Billy Connoly told on an American TV interview. It was the joke that his father told every year at Christmas.

    Two Englishmen, two Irishmen, two Scotsmen and two Welshmen were shipwrecked on a desert island. After they had been there for a year, the two Irishmen were still fighting on the beach. The two Welshmen had formed a choir. The two Scotsmen had built a still, and the two Englishmen were still waiting to be formally introduced.
