gave the Welsh superior fire power for a while, until those dratted Normans copied the technology.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Feb-14 17:17:01

That proves they were Welsh then.

hmm

A recent programme on TV examined and explained the human skeleton. It had been deduced that the longbowmen of centuries past had had not only more developed muscles in one arm but also longer bones.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Feb-14 17:06:29

Humph!

Bernard never mentioned that fact. hmm

thatbags Fri 21-Feb-14 16:58:32

Bags says Yes, Indeed about the best archers being the Welsh longbowmen. It was Welsh longbowmen at Agincourt. The bow was not particularly a saxon weapon.

My fount of this knowledge? Mrbags.

LizG Fri 21-Feb-14 12:26:22

Looks like I'm stuck with pasta bows then, don't think they will shoot well grin but might be okay in the hair!

Galen Fri 21-Feb-14 11:32:28

As my gran used to say ' that's for me to know and you to find out!'grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Feb-14 11:31:05

Ah, you already mentioned English archers. Must read posts properly.

They were not! hmm And how does that Bags know anyway?!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Feb-14 11:28:56

I used to make mine out of sticks from the woods. With a tin tray for a target.

You could get a bit of practice in until you get your real one.

You will be an English archer. Very Bernard Cornwell.

Galen Fri 21-Feb-14 11:24:20

I'm going to Wales for my bow and arrows, after all, most of the best English archers were welsh. Ask Bags

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Feb-14 11:07:07

read all about it here

And then go and play bows and arrows in the back garden like a good girl.

And if you are very good I will let you borrow my colander for a hat.

Galen Fri 21-Feb-14 11:05:38

The highest or chief worshipped has a white (carbonara) hat!

Joelsnan Fri 21-Feb-14 11:02:27

Galen Fri 21-Feb-14 10:38:41

In pastafarianism a spaghetti hat is usually reserved for the most devout. The bolognese version is for very high ranking officials

LizG Fri 21-Feb-14 10:36:47

Pretty please feetlebaum not the pink fluffy unicorn, I shall be singing that all day now grin
