Haha.

If it wasn't for Hitler and my father being evacuated to Herefordshire,
where he adopted a faux rural heritage, that would've been my heritage. He
was born just a few streets away from the Transporter Bridge.

Saw that on the Welsh news the other day.

What a load of shite.

They seem to think they're being clever - which must make Chris Moyles a
comdedy genius.

I thought it was quite amusing as youtube, musical, self-parodies go. The
Gavin Henson, chips, chees & curry and Chinese Province references got a
chuckle.

*shrugs*

I thought it was a bit of a poor quality GLC-alike spoof - and half the
references in the song aren't even connected with Newport.

No, the GH one is about going to a club in Cardiff which fits in with
the title of the song as it would be a typical activity for someone
living there. Other references are wider, Welsh cultural references, again
part of the Newport psyche.

I think a lot of people travelling to see the Ryder Cup are going to have a
big shock. Newport may be twinned with Guangxi Province but this event is
not going to be any Beijing style event. I see Newport is also twinned with
Kutaisi in Georgia, which probably better represents the level of
organisation...
