    I once went on a geography field trip to Barmouth and I know that gwasenethau means services.

    All you need is a postcard and a daffodil.

    It seems to have worked for half their squad, which makes England finishing 2nd even worse.

    Develop an affection for a Woolley animal is a good starting point.

    To be born in England, according to most members of their squad.

    Finding sheep attractive would help.

    pair of willies and a sheep to put in them?
    Bloody hell talk about overreactions, the next likely opponents are hardly a disaster and don't look any worse than the ones Wales are likely to get.
    And at the end of the day why would you???

    Same here. Within 20 minutes I knew I'd made the right choice! Best performance of the tournament so far.

    The ability to develop an obnoxious, hateful, spiteful attitude towards English people, grow an enormous bleating chip on your shoulder, and being as ugly as sin as you confront opposition football fans at Wembley, especially if the year is 2008.
    Buy a box of matches to burn down holiday homes.
    Have more consonants than vowels in your words which make them totally illegible but which give you fantastic scores in Scrabble.
    Have gone to Rhyl at least once in your lifetime.

    I drove through Pants one day and found the Pants Post office amusing- this was just before I attended the Brecon Jazz festival - I must be Welsh

    My Great Grandad was Welsh, my surnames Welsh. If Jack Charlton was their manager l'd probably be called up.
