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.
Their flag's really cool
Charlotte Church (until she opens her trap)
Adam Jones' hair'style'
The fact that they're shit at rugby, but keep going on about the seventies lot
Twin Town
A walk across the railway/footbridge over the estuary at Barmouth on a warm summers evening followed by fish & chips out of the wrapper sitting by the sea front (one of my top 5 favourite ways to spend an evening)
Pembrokeshire, particularly the coastline around Marloes
The Castles of Edward I
The Accent, particularly when speaking Welsh
Rhod Gilbert
1. Their Narrow guage railways
2. Llangorse and the Black Mountain (you made me a man you dragon you)
3. Pembroke coastline
4. Female Welsh accents
5. The demise of Welsh rugby
the welsh nurse who used to put it out in the old army hospital after a good sesion in the crown and anchor in woolwich, good girl great rack game as fook

Even on a warm summer's evening, it will be raining. Every one else is thinking about Charlotte Church.
1. the accent on some women, and those women - although sometimes south wales accents can be awful
2. welsh cakes
3. the scenery - spent nearly every summer of my younger years on a beautiful mountain in west wales
4. welsh (macho) male camradery
5. They have lots of valleys, and that's our home too
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.
1. Pennant valley, Powys
2. The cycle path from Dolgellau to Barmouth
3. Camping at Mwnt, or Pystell Rhayader
4. The Offa's Dyke Path
5 The Green Man Festival
(i) Super Furry Animals - one of the greatest bands ever FACT (ii) Gorkys Zygotic Mynci (iii) Nerys Hughes (iv) Catherine Zeta-Jones (v) Charlotte Church -
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............
