Boxing’s Queensberry Rules were drafted by a Welshman, Llanelli-born JG Chambers (1843–83). And there are more boxers in Glamorgan than anywhere else in Britain.
I'm not sure that's the greatest start, bearing in mind the comments on the other thread, but come on you Taffs and sell yourselves to us
I so admire them that the native tongue is so strong. Irish back home is very sparce in comparsion.

And a joke
In the Beginning, the Lord God Almighty turned to his best friend, The Archangel Gabriel and said, "Gabby, today I'm going to create a beautiful part of the Earth and I will call it WALES. I will make a country of breathtaking blue lakes, rich green forests and dark beautiful mountains which from time to time will be covered in snow. I will give it clear swift rivers that flow with salmon and trout.
The land will be lush and fertile, on which the people can raise cattle and grow their food. Underneath the land I shall lay rich coal seams for the inhabitants to mine. Around the coast I will make some of the most beautiful areas in the world, with white sandy beaches and cliffs that will attract all manner or wildlife and with many islands that will be like paradise to all who visit them. The waters around Wales will be abundant with fish.
I will also give them some of the most naturally gifted rugby players in the world, and many fine singers. The people of Wales will be the most friendly people on Earth and will be called the WELSH."
"Excuse me, sire," interrupted the Archangel Gabriel, "Don't you think you are being a bit too generous to these WELSH?"
"Don't talk crap," replied the lord Almighty, "wait till you see the bloody neighbours I'm giving them."

The rugby team :thumbup: and that tantalizingly sweet moment where we win the Grandslam again.... because let's face it, we don't win much else :wink:
But in the end, journeys brought joys that outweighed the pain - F.T.
