    Very! For anyone who's seen his new film Mr. Nice and likes it, he's doing a talk on 12th March 2011, Proud @ Matter (O2 dome) the website says it's free but as it was £12 a ticket for some grotty little pub in Hull, I doubt it.

    If the place wasn't stuck on the side of England - nobody would bother going there.

    Gavin & Stacey is the only good thing connected with the place.

    Even on a warm summer's evening, it will be raining. Every one else is thinking about Charlotte Church.

    I love,
    The fact that the Welsh think Wales is a country....
    and when you point out that it aint, it's a principality, they get all annoyed....

    I haven't much experience of Wales so can't do an informed list but can tell a little story.

    Back in the early '80s I in South London with a chap from Llandudno named David Jones but known by his middle name of Sid, as they have so many David Joneses it lessens the confusion if they use their middle names (that's a FACT).In his twenties, he was quiet to the point of dourness, not rude but conversations were short and he was difficult to get to know. One day I sat on a chair near his desk to discuss some item of work when suddenly the seat busted and my arse went down through the resulting space and I was trapped with my arms and legs waving about, unable to get out. Jones's reaction to this scene ten feet away from him was to sit and stare at me. I said, exasperated, 'For f***s sake laugh you miserable Taffy' and to my surprise he did! After that we became good friends and though he moved on a year or so later we keep in touch and he's been a good mate. He had a natural reserve that many Welsh people have I think and it takes time, and perhaps something bloody stupid, to break through it.

    Went to Lllandidni, said to this bloke "its great to be here in Lan did ni".

    He said back aggressively "it's not lan did ni, its clan did ni, in wales we say a c when it spelt double l"

    I said "ok, no need to be a llunt about it"

    actually my mum was born in Wales on an RAF base during the war, not sure she considered herself Welsh in any way though as her family for generations before that were South & East London through & through............
