As it would appear we cannot be trusted to discuss anything slightly controversial I am starting a thread to discuss unicorns and butterflies. I like white unicorns with rainbow horns

Excuse me, but weren't we meant to be discussing unicorns rather than rugby? I would just like to say that I have just eaten a slice of a cake decorated as a unicorn, and if it wasn't drawn from life, I don't know who can have imagined it. Therefore I maintain that unicorns exist (although I'm surprised that they can go about covered in quite so much icing without being set upon by butterflies).

Hope that's not too controversial, my little GN snowflake pals.

Thanks ninathenana

I will try to remember
Rugby League - State of Origin
Rugby Union - it's the World in Union

Then there is Aussie Rules Football too
and soccer/footie/football call it what you like
just for more confusion

grin Jalima
Rugby Union has 15 players and plays by one set of rules Rugby League has 13 players and different rules.
Union was originally played by amatures but the big teames are now pros too.

That's where I'm getting confused
One lot of rugby is the same as another to me [ducks for cover before someone tackles me]

Give me netball any day

Jalima H informs me Kangaroos is the nickname for Aussie rugby league team

Glammy are you connecting white unicorns with rainbow horns to a headline you saw in DM? What I would like to know is - can two white uncorns raise a black unicorn with or without rainbow horns? The answer has to be no, I'm afraid. And the subject can't be discussed either. sad

Is that the black one from "How to train your dragon" Anya ?
Mine is red and very fiery ?

Willow500 Sat 11-Nov-17 21:01:35

Are we opposed to weredragons too? They're able to shift from human form so you'd be hard pressed to report them for impersonating the real thing. I'm not sure the unicorns respected them enough either!

My dragon is toothless

I still think they should be called Kangaroos
Wallabies are very sweet, but not very big

Am not keen on green dragons either, a bit shifty if you ask me, but the blue glittery ones are great fun at parties.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 19:39:03

It was more of a draw! grin We both left with honour satisfied ( more or less) but I cannot trust one again.

Anniebach Sat 11-Nov-17 19:34:26

Who won lemon?

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 19:32:07

The thing is, I once had a nasty run in with a red dragon and it’s left me with a lifelong distrust of them.Can’t be helped!

Anniebach Sat 11-Nov-17 18:47:30

Fixed match again

ninathenana Sat 11-Nov-17 17:57:11

Dragons 13
Wallabies 17

Oldwoman70 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:43:46

Glammy No I didn't see such a headline. I just have a preference for white unicorns with rainbow horns (although that should not imply that I have any dislike or prejudice against unicorns of any other colour) I would have no problem with two white unicorns raising a black unicorn.

I am disturbed by lemon's obvious prejudice against red dragons - this I'm afraid cannot be allowed. Red dragons are equal to dragons of any colour and are no more difficult to train than any other.

I live in deepest Somerset and have never seen a dinosaur, however, the Mendip Hills are close by and they are probably hiding in caves there.

Jalima1108 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:40:28

just found it online - it looks very scary

Jalima1108 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:38:50

Ooh, must come over and find that when DGS comes!

Wales winning 10 - 7 according to DH

Anniebach Sat 11-Nov-17 17:35:38

We have a dinosaur park here and they roar so there , Welsh dinosaurs so they roar in Welsh

Jalima1108 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:29:27

ps that's because the rugby's on - Wales -v- Australia and it is compulsory viewing.

hmm now, who shall I support?
Dragons -v- kangaroos ?
Hoping for a draw

Jalima1108 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:27:14

Anyone Welsh on this thread at the moment should be ashamed of themselves!

matson Sat 11-Nov-17 17:24:27

Sorry, sorry, can see how that remark maybe political.

matson Sat 11-Nov-17 17:21:48

What dragons and dinosaurs!!! We get nowt up here in t'north !
