I wish I was Welsh

philstar

The Irish are too rough too wild, the English are too cocky too arrogant, the Scottish are too mean too dour....but the welsh, the welsh have got the right balance they've got the celtic spirit but they're also down down to earth and level headed with a modest outlook on life plus a great sense of humour (the ones i've encountered)

Of all the home races i've always found the welsh the easiest to get on with, so i kinda wish i grew up in the land of the valleys.

I wish I was an Asgardian, but hey , such is life.


Anyway, if you could be any nationality, Irish defo be no.1 for me, regardless of the self haters

There are so many quiet Irish people like several american students who visited our college commented on how a lot of younger irish people were much more closed off than they expected. They said Irish people are friendly and nice once you start speaking to them though, you just never get approached as much here as you do by men in america (they were girls..)

I've lived in Wales for the last nine months OP. It's all you've ever dreamt of. And more.

Being a single Welsh boy myself I full endorse this thread.

We are awesome.

I was in Wales for a week last summer and it was amazing. The people are so nice! I'd live there no problem.

The Welsh are great, but the weather is somehow worse than Dublin, I always see the Scots as very dour but the girls are hot and the English have the best sense of humor by far.

By your username and the fact that you're there 9 months...are you born or just about to be born?

To link up with my last post...are you...Dragon Bourne?

Indeed. It would seem illogical in this day and age to restrict people to binary nationality choices.

If it was not for my Scottish great great grandfather and his brother fighting over a six pence, the world would not have Copper wire and thus no internet.

I have Welsh cousins who hate folks from the valleys.. Arrogant loudmouths according to them. And one teached Welsh in a high school..

South west England. Very nice people.

"Come home to a real fire - buy a cottage in Wales"

The inspiration behind the more familiar graffiti on Irish walls, "Come home to a real fire - join the RUC".

The Welsh are proud of thier language, it's taught correctly. And when you love something you will defend it unquestionably.

Bit like Kerry people and the Healy Raes.

Bit odd. I love my parents but I wouldn't defend them unquestionably.

Why is it odd, it's ours and ours alone. It's a part of our identity.

The English tried to take it from us and failed.

I'm sure if Irish had been taught correctly you would feel the same way about your National language.

Meh, I doubt it.

Now the Vasconic language spoken in Ireland? That's MY language and we'd still be speaking it if it weren't for you Celtic colonials!

I hard a guy interviewed on the radio who was from that town.. As you probably know, it translates to

'St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave'

Feck Wales or Ireland, I wish I lived in Spain near a beach....I don't give a ****e what the people are like.

So many people used to love going to Wales for day trips courtesy of the twice a day sailing from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead . . . . then they stopped the 'twice a day' and that was the end of that. And now they have stopped the ferry altogether from Dun Laoghaire

Its too much hassle to travel over to Wales now, which is an awful shame, as there are so many lovely towns and places of interest to visit. I like Wales.

You can still get cheap day-trips to Holyhead, Tuesdays being the cheapest.

http://www.stenaline.ie/ferries-to-britain/day-trips/dublin-holyhead-superferry

I went to Wales once, on one of those day-trips, when I was about 7. There was a delay getting off the ferry in Holyhead meaning that I've spent 30 minutes of my life on Welsh soil.

I travel there some what regularly with work and I hate the place.

...yeah, but only from Dublin port which is not half as quick & accessible as Dun Laoghaire was.

Hoping to spend time in Portmeirion some day, while being chased by a giant bubble

You would have to be of a certain age to know what I'm talking about there.
