    Don't talk to me about the league of Gentlemen. My bike ride today started in Llandewi Brefi ('the last gay in the village'). I kid you not. At least they have replaced the town signs that had been stolen by fans.

    Of course. You'd hardly be helping them to move backwards into the past, now, would you?
    Heh.

    I think you only have to pay to get out, or is that Cornwall. I cannot say I like Wales where the pubs close early and no petrol stations are open on Sundays, well it is a long time since I've been in a private vehicle, ever since one of the boys in blue pulled me up in Aberystwyth to tell me my tail light was broken; yes you guessed it wasn't broken until he touched it with his truncheon.

    But when I was driving an artic it looked very nice if a bit too sleepy, impressive landscape.

    I know I have posted this before. But you can't have too much of sheep. Can you?

    Wales is finally twinned with New Zealand
    Good job we both speak the same language, then, isn't it?

    Re: CiC self portraits

    I don't understand a word of this but then I'm english. Some say I originated from Wales but my ancestors probably came from Poland, I hope.
    If I was forced to make a choice between being Welsh and a New Zealander I think I would choose New Zealand, they have definitely got a much better football side than the Welsh or english.
    Besides, I can't stand male voice choir's and I'm dyslexic.

    Re: CiC self portraits

    I don't understand why the media portray english footballers as best in the world where clearly if they were teams would be full of them. I don't use capital E for english since england doesn't really exist except in a second rate football team.

    We had a good player once but he used to practise and how much fun is that when you have to find ways of spending hundreds of thousands a week.

    I think an english Chelsea footballer summed it up when he said; ' the foreign players attended the Christmas party, but only had an orange juice and left early'. I think they think training more important than fun.

    OK, two reasons why eNGLAND are rubbish.

    1. Foreign players make up a large part of the eNGLISH home teams, and they obviously can't play for the home nation side in international games. To make matters worse they fly home and play for their own home nations.

    3. The players have (as you pointed out) a total lack of professional objective. Most of them seem to be too preoccupied with what colour leather seats they will have in their next Aston Martin, or what size swimming pool to have in their Cheshire mansion. I think they need some performance related rewards instead of being paid several millions a year each by clubs stuffed to the gills with hard-earnt supporters cash.

    I don't even like football...

    Re: CiC self portraits

    I used to like football when they had players like Zinedine Zidane, Eto' is good as is Edu but non are eNGLISH. David Beckham is the only one that came close to being good, I don't rate any of the current lot as any good, some come close like Gerard but that is not good enough. I don't like football and was made to play Rugby at school, which I didn't like either.

    Sounds like me at high school. I think I only ever played one game -- was passed the pass just the one -- stood there with that "rabbit frozen in the headlights look" -- had the ball snatched from my grasp -- and that was the end of it. Come to think of it, exactly the same thing happened in basketball. And I couldn't catch in softball.

    Somehow I don't think I was ever cut out for a career in pro sports!

    I think it was the Heads warped sense of humour, I was a first former put up against 6G just so they could practise making an in-print of me in the turf, and they always passed me the ball which I would quickly pass back or kick away, but they still pounced on me.

    I think the head said; 'it is character building boy'.

    I couldn't catch either, mainly because we weren't allowed to wear glasses on the field, for obvious reasons, and without my glasses, I always saw two distinct balls coming at me. What to do? Which one to catch? Oh, the decisions.
    As a result, I was always a proud member of the "F" team. Did lots of sitting on the sidelines with the other F-bunnies, waiting for turns that never came.
