So Proud I could EXPLODE!

Winston Churchill was not keen on the red dragon symbol on the Welsh flag; in a copy of 1953 Cabinet Minutes, it was noted as "an odious design, expressing nothing but spite, malice, ill-will and monstrosity".  However, most people disagree.  Having a fire breathing dragon as a symbol of ones country seems an admirable and bold display of national pride.

It's comments like that which could add to the reasons why, given any opportunity, Wales is so willing to stick it to England on the rugby pitch and today, that's just what we did.  To all my English friends out there, I love you, please accept my tongue poking in the manner it is intended.  A Welsh woman who, for as long as I can remember, has screamed at the television for the past 24 years in the hope that Wales could pull it off.  Today they did just that.  For only the second time in history Wales beat England on their home turf at Twickenham, the only other time being in 1988.  The English are, I am sure, crying at this very moment "we were robbed".  It was a close call, but Wales triumphed 19-12 securing the Triple Crown.  The clash was gladiatorial.  Please therefore, excuse me this one time for being so chuffed ....

So what is it I like so much about the game of rugby.  Oh, I can't think what ....

We now have to face Italy and France to achieve the Grand Slam.  Watch this space, if they do it I might just publish a picture of me eating my hat.  Enjoy!
