OK LADS, WEVE GOT EM WORRIED NOW...








(Major Henry Spalding, Rorke's Drift, 22nd and 23rd of January, 1879)



(interesting note:- although the film "zulu" gave the impression the regiment were all welsh, in fact it was the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot who faced the zulu's, this regiment later officially became the South Wales Borderers

(just to upset any welsh looking in.......)

according to their history
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Wales_Borderers
Rorke's Drift, was their first victory. It wasn't till after they became a Welsh unit they started to win more battles.

typical taffs, wont take orders from the english, want to rule themselves...

the film gave the impression all were slaughtered at rorkes drift, but the wiki says only 15 died...

Chard's force had lost fifteen dead, eight more - including Dalton - seriously wounded, and virtually every man had some kind of minor wound. They were all exhausted, having fought for the better part of ten hours, and were running low on ammunition as well. Of 20,000 rounds in reserve at the mission, only 900 remained.

As dawn broke, the British could see that the Zulus were gone; all that remained were the vast piles of dead - over 370 bodies were counted.

Quote of the Day;

What time is it, Eccles?

What follows is arguably the most famous single sequence in any Goon Show. The show is The Mysterious Punch-up-the-Conker ( series 7, episode 18 ). About 25 minutes into the show, Bluebottle and Eccles are "in the ground floor attic" of a clock repairers. After listening to lots of timepieces ticking, chiming, cuckooing etc. for a while...


Bluebottle; What time is it Eccles?

Eccles; Err, just a minute. I, I've got it written down 'ere on a piece of paper. A nice man wrote the time down for me this morning.

Bluebottle; Ooooh, then why do you carry it around with you Eccles?

Eccles; Well, umm, if a anybody asks me the ti-ime, I ca-can show it to dem.

Bluebottle; Wait a minute Eccles, my good man...

Eccles; What is it fellow?

Bluebottle; It's writted on this bit of paper, what is eight o'clock, is writted.

Eccles; I know that my good fellow. That's right, um, when I asked the fella to write it down, it was eight o'clock.

Bluebottle; Well then. Supposing when somebody asks you the time, it isn't eight o'clock?

Eccles; Ah, den I don't show it to dem.

Bluebottle; Ooohhh...

Eccles; [Smacks lips] Yeah.

Bluebottle; Well how do you know when it's eight o'clock?

Eccles; I've got it written down on a piece of paper!

Bluebottle; Oh, I wish I could afford a piece of paper with the time written on.

Eccles; Oohhhh.

Bluebottle; 'Ere Eccles?

Eccles; Yah.

Bluebottle; Let me hold that piece of paper to my ear would you? - 'Ere. This piece of paper ain't goin'.

Eccles; What? I've been sold a forgery!

Bluebottle; No wonder it stopped at eight o'clock.

Eccles; Oh dear.

Bluebottle; You should get one of them tings my grandad's got.

Eccles; Oooohhh?

Bluebottle; His firm give it to him when he retired.

Eccles; Oooohhh.

Bluebottle; It's one of dem tings what it is that wakes you up at eight o'clock, boils the kettil, and pours a cuppa tea.

Eccles; Ohhh yeah! What's it called? Um.

Bluebottle; My granma.

Eccles; Ohh... Ohh, ah wait a minute. How does she know when it's eight o'clock?

Bluebottle; She's got it written down on a piece of paper!
