Wales is closed for a couple of hours this morning due to the rugby! Pob lwc Cymru!

So near yet so far...

I should think Wales has probably gone into Mourning    Mrs Bouquet

At least it doesn't mean an England versus Wales final. To cheer for the land of my fathers or the land we live in, a tricky choice!
They did really well to get as far as they did but the luck wasn't with them.

[Growster...]

I really didn't want an 'Old Enemy' fight in a foreign country.

It just wouldn't have seemed right somehow, but the match wasn't that great for the first three-quarters, and only lit up near the end!

I see your quandary John, but maybe a reflection on what might happen in the six nations next year could lay a few ghosts! Just read the NZ press for how teams are treated out there after Saturday though, WOW, some reporting...

I was looking forward to an England v Wales final , if my home nation England won the Taffies who love to hate us would be nearly as happy moaning as if they had won !
I am 1/4 Welsh but accept that means nothing to the locals !

Boar war ring a bell ?

Aaaaah yes 8!

And if you saw/heard of a recent bit of news about several youngish ladies cavorting around in the sea near you, it was a chum of mine and her pals just doing what they normally do!

Happily I've not come up against many of those sort of locals - but they are great fun to wind up. Just explain how we brought civilisation to them. It's light the blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance time!

Most of the locals here are great and would help whenever they can but they still like to give the English some stick !
