Shag, i know about, it was the c word i was thinking about. Thanks again Ranzo.

[hultonclint]

ah hahahahah!! See, that's what happens when YouTube bleeps out 4 letter words -- misunderstandings!

Well, yes, it was "cut"!

[philipsmovies]

Excellent performances of an excellent song. You'll have to explain "a packet of ****" or was it "cut". I do see the funny side of it.

[hultonclint]

The "shag" is tobacco, shredded. Funny thing is, in your comment that word came up censored, ha! Maybe it will be censored here, too, once I hit the "submit" button!

I love that (a) you can hear the one fellow's Kiwi accent and (b) the tallest fellow's use of his strapping chest as his percussion instrument.

[hultonclint]

I understood that, and most other people probably do. too. Most Punjabis, I think, have a well developed sense of irony and definitely a great sense of humor. I think the potential irony here is well received.

One a side note, I miss my friends here and wish we could make more videos!!

I think I definitely was mistaken in my original comment. I was more messing around than being serious.
