Not the football. Bit of a yawn talking about football.
Songs. Or rather, national anthems. What's your 1,2,3? Mine:
1/ Wales 2/ Russia 3/ Netherlands
What are yours?
p.s. England last. Utter and complete dirge.

Wales is a great anthem, love it when they sing that and bread of heaven at the rugby, been to watch wales a couple of times at Cardiff and gave me goosebumps!
Boring fact, i lived just down the road and passed the church on the way to work each day where Bread of Heaven was first sung in 1907.

I prefer Men of Harlech. Maybe it's the local connection. Telemachus might like the men of Harlech too.

French for me. For some reason, I have always loved the French. Was always our intention to spend our retirement over there. Suspect Brexit has almost put paid to that though. When I hear the anthem, I feel something rise inside. Very odd, maybe a former life...edit to add followed by Italy’s and Russia’s.

The Netherlands one is strange. Basically a downbeat, fairly simple tune but somehow manages to stir great passions.

Watched and listened to the Dutch anthem a few times now, brings me close to tears. Think I may have had a past life. I'm going out to buy an orange shirt. Or if not an orange shirt, one of those horrible checked ones that 90% of the blokes in the audience are wearing. Definitely be moving to Holland, if I get fed up with Wales.

If?
Or perhaps when.
It's a funny place is Wales. Loads of rare welsh bits around.
Probably ok but limited number of access roads innit a bit like Whitby.

Never seen that myself. The one I saw was still alive while the crows were pecking it's eyes out.
As in "not dead".
That's why I remember it. Sort of stuck with me what with being about 9 years old at the time.
It was one of our sheep.
Oh dear.

I went for a walk up Dinas Oleu this morning and came across a live sheep. I don't mean literally, in case anyone was wondering.

No we kept it as a pet and got glass eyes installed by the vet. ETA it actually died in Morningside in Edinburgh not in Wales.
