Subject: Wales 10 - 9 England

Was working in Centre Point in the centre of London amongst a real bunch of Hooray Henrys who thought Welsh people were pretty low in the pecking order. They used to take the piss 'cos they heard me say "Bore da" to someone on the phone and every time I entered the room it was sing-song Taffy voices "Bore da, boyo, hows the sheep in the coal mines today" et bloody cetera.

Any way they were so full of how england were going to piss on our rather faltering campaign and win the grand slam it was as much as I could do not to exit the fucking building via the window. Anyway me and my mate, a Welshman living in Chiswick, came down to Cardiff with tickets for the game, had a great time back amongst friends and screaming that we couldn't wait to get to work on Monday. Left the ground singing "Dewi's made the wrong choice, Dewi's made the wrong choice, lalalalaa".

Went into Centre Point Monday unsure as to whether to crash the doors open and shout "Yahoo, fuck you!" etc, but decided to walk in and say nothing and when the rather sheepish sheep comments came I asked politely "What was the score? 'Cos I was so happy about being amongst proper people the score had just slipped from my mind. Oh do tell, What was the score? I was so pissed on delerium I forgot" Rubbed it in for weeks - was bloody great.

Also made me realise I couldn't stand being amongst the fucking wankers any more and came back to Cardiff that very May, a move I have never regretted since.

Memories!
