Vee Von Against The Hun
By Mark Davies 18/05/02

Despite having to close the roof of the millennium Stadium amid fears of Zeppelin attacks if Germany were losing, Wales gave the Bolsch a taste of their own medicine. Victory was achieved thanks to a goal by debut-boy Robert Earnshaw. He wriggled clear of the German defence like a Colditz escapee to slot home the winner.

General 'Sparky' Hughes can be proud of his lads for giving the Hun's ears a good boxing. There have already been unconfirmed reports of suicides among the German hierarchy after the defeat.

Lengthy affairs

It wasn't all exciting stuff in Wales though, partcularly not for Chronic Fatigue (or ME) sufferers. They're having to travel to Durham for treatment as Welsh waiting lists are so long. No wonder they're so knackered .

Whilst on the subject of crossing the border, some 90% of clients at Bristol's Penis Enlargement clinic are Welsh. The English, of-course, have no need to bother. They've got enough Big Knobs already.

Talking of Big Knobs, Rhodri Morgan and Welsh Comedian Owen Money have joined the few Welsh people who'll be supporting England in the World Cup. We expect such things from a comedian, but don't politicians seek re-election?

Jessica sings Capital's praises

Someone we'll all be supporting is Wales' Eurovision hopeful, Jessica Garlick. She'll be representing Wales (Oh, and the UK, apparently) in the Eurovision song Contest on 25th May. If she wins, she'll call for next year's show to be staged in Cardiff instead of London. Her sentiments are echoed by other fervent Welsh patriots, including Tory Assembly Leader Nick Bourne. Anyway, we all know Eurovision is tackiness personified, but anything that can boost Wales' international profile has to be good.

If Jessica fails, all's not lost for Wales. The Welsh Tourist Board have other cards up their sleeve. This week they broadcast our first ever overseas television commercial. It was screened in Holland and Belgium of all places. Apparently, they love visiting Wales - they must be drunks too. Oh, and you'll never guess who's doing the voice over? Zeta Jones, Anthony Hopkins or Ioan Gruffudd? No, it's none other than Phillip Madoc. He was said to be happy with a weekend caravanning in Porthcawl as payment.

Have the Welsh Police gone potty?

Finally, this week saw the launch of NorthWalesPolice.com. Okay, the title is a bit off putting, but this site has more to it than meets the eye. We knew the North Wales Police were liberal minded, but plans for the opening of a cannabis café in Rhyl - radical or what? Is this a joint operation or merely a pipe dream?
Find out for yourself.
