When I was at school (quite some time ago!) if you were circumcised you were a "roundhead", if you weren't you were a "cavalier"

And you went around checking?

I thought nobody was circumcised anymore. Its virtually illegal here at this stage, there was a big big scandal over doctors in Waterford doing it.

What about Jews? Or are there no Jews in Ireland?
Circumcision has been popular in the US since about the 1950's but I heard that it's slowly going out of fashion. I certainly wouldn't do it to my son :ohmy:

Feck all of them -1,790 in 2002. And they're all too old to be breeding anymore.

Compared to the 1930's-1960's, when we had three Jewish mayors of Dublin and a large Jewish population on the south inner city - Kosher butchers, etc everywhere.

And a massive Jewish *sausage* maker of all things, Haufmanns.

If I was like some of the freaks in the South Stand I'd be sneaking out to the bus round about then :salute:

Gah, I *HATE* people who do that. Like every Bristol supporter at Cardiff :clap2: :clap2:

It was great seeing the 30K of us, and the other end of the stadium *empty* at the end.

I reckon most of you who post on this board would join Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads rather than the King's Cavaliers. Am I right ???

Sure thing buddy :clap:

If I was to be transported back to 1642 I would probably take with me a book of historical records,also loads of cash and head straight to the nearest bookies.

:drink:

And when you pulled out a £20.00 note to pay in the bookies, which would probably be some thug in an Inn you'd be beaten up and your books would get you burnt at the stake as devil worshipper :lol:

agree, would def have been a roundhead. then, assuming i survived long enough would have become a leveller and then, cos the levellers all smell and are flea infested, joined the diggers. and then died from some horrible disease.

:lolol: and the final indignity, Billy Bragg would end up recording a song about you.
