I think it is repeated tonight (?) if you have digital satellite. Someone else help me out please with further details - it's the Welsh channel 4 I think.

P.S. the amazing scenery was somewhat offset by the braces on her teeth!

Precisely what hubby said!!

But I must say they were a very fine pair of baps, no wonder Rhett got in there double quick.

It cracked me up when they were talking on the beach and he said he had seen her at her cousins house and thought she was pretty and that was where it all started! Yeah right! And her marvellous norks had nothing to do with it!

Lucky I didn't take this to be a double entendre.

as someone is interested i have taken it upon myself to provide the lyrics.

i wonder why they chose this track

----------------------------------------


[Chorus in Tagalog]
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
Ako'y padadalang, balita galing sa bayan ko
Yaung pamamahagi ang mga kuento
Ng manga pangyayaring ganaganap
Sa lupang pinangako

[English Translation:]
(Come together and listen
I brought news from my native land
I'll tell you how we live and what goes on
From my beloved homeland.)

[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap]
Every place got a ghetto this is my version
Check it out...
Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living
How would you feel if you had to catch your meal?
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.
Having to pump the water outta the ground
The way we put it down utilizing what is around
Like land for farming, river for fishing
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland

[Chorus]

[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap]
Yo, its been a while but...
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on
Man it feels good to be back at home
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal
Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel!
Now life has changed for me in the U.S
But back at home man, life was a mess...
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down
On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...

[Chorus]

Yep, presumably they chose it for the music and not the lyrics!
Not important but what does chorus in tagalog mean?

it's actually a good song, i know it does not read too well but trust me on this one.

Tagalog is the main language in the philippines where one of the band members comes from and the first part of the song is sung in this language.

Poor girl, youre going to give her a real complex. I think you are all being really cruel and not very sensitive.

But then again, they were ripper norks...

I has a little confussed about the boyfriend. He said that she was much more classy than the Oz girls???? Now I'm really worried. Fun and outgoing maybe, classy, probably not... (Doh, am I just another POM snob?)

Good luck to em and you have to take your hat off to them after all they have been through.
