Wales

Oh Wales...what other country could we possibly use to randomly slag off for a bit of unnecessary fun? Well, apart from Ireland and Scotland. And England too. And France. And Germany. And Russia. And America. And India. And China. And Japan. Bloody hell, we are a stupidly racist country. Anyway, so why the scorn? The Welsh brought us The Stereophonics, The Manic Street Preachers, The Lost Prophets and...err...Goldy Looking Chain? Not convinced? Check out THAT flag! Just imagine...'Hmmm, so we're supposed to have some sort of basic colour scheme, with some kind of cross or very basic symbol in the middle. I don't like this. Let's have a motherfucking dragon!'. Here's some cold hard evidence: Dragon = kick ass. Being half Welsh, I know a reasonable amount about Wales, and I can't quite see where all the stick comes from. I mean, as part of a joke, it's completely fine, and I'd almost certainly join in. But when somebody genuinely hates Wales and its people, I find that pretty pathetic. This is the case for all countries. It's just plain racism, frankly. Especially when the person who harbours these views has probably never been there anyway! When they think of Wales, their minds instantly say: 'Sheep buggery. Accent. Sheep buggery. The language. Sheep buggery. Sporting shitness. Did I mention the sheep buggery?' I would fight for the country, and explain why the criticism is unjust, but all of a sudden, I'm not sure if I care any more. My desire to rant like a mini David Mitchell completely hight on red bull has faded, and now I'm just tired. Ultimately, the only two things from the list above that are fair are the sporting shitness, and the language. The language is just plain irritating, and it forces some people's English ability to be rather dilute. But whatever, I don't want the language to be killed. And as for sport? I always thought that Wales solely concentrated on rugby (which would go some way in explaining the failures of the football team), but worryingly I haven't exactly heard much about the Welsh rugby side dominating the world. Poor Wales...I better go now, so many sheep, so little time!
