So a socialist budget, apparently. Knock one measly pence on tax and Gordon Brown is the new Karl Marx. Well, it simply won't do for us in Wales. We want a much fairer society than the one on offer.

The Welsh are social animals. Always have been, always will be. Basically, social and economic divisions cause too many arguments down the pub.
Unfortunately, our votes are bloody swamped by middle England. A just society is alien to them.

Still, the posh gits are up in arms already - a saving grace if there ever was one. Apparently, there'll be no more champagne barbecues in Hert's. How awful. Let's just hope they don't all move to Wales for a cheaper way of life. There's enough of the buggers in Brecon already

Merthyr - hardest place in the UK

Speaking of traditions, it seems some will never die. Merthyr Tydfil is still the UK's hardest place. Disagree? Ok then, where else would you find a 72-year granny with a restraining order for threatening behaviour? Bloody no-where, that's where.

So well done Merthyr, we're proud of you, honest. Remember, infamy still keeps Wales in the news.

Billy Connolly joins Taffia

On the subject of promoting Wales, Billy Connolly has joined the Welsh Tourist Board. Well, anyone who saw his TV series, The Big Yen, would be forgiven for thinking so. The Welsh leg of the show saw Billy bombard the nation with compliments. From Cardiff to Portmeirion, he was in absolute awe of our country. We knew Wales was good, Billy, but still, even the most one-eyed of patriots thought you'd gotten us confused us with some place else. We're such a humble people, see.

Wales - the land of film

Moving from television to the big screen, a Welsh blockbuster is in the pipeline. Catherine Zeta Jones, Ioan Gruffudd and Rhys Ifans will form a Welsh trio in a Hollywood film about Atlantis.

This could be the greatest gathering of Welsh talent since 70's classic Grand Slam, starring screen legends, Windsor Davies, Hugh Griffith and Glyn Edwards.

Welsh media obsessed with Michael Owen

With so much going on in Wales, why the obsession with Michael Owen?
He may have lived in Wales all his life, but he has no Welsh loyalties. Idolizing a turncoat makes us look so sad. The Scottish, in similar circumstances, would kick him out of the country. We're just asking the media to concentrate on those who want to play for Wales. That's all.

I was bullied - by Craig Quinnell

Someone else who's turned his back on Wales is Craig Quinnell. He'll be playing for Saracens next season. Apparently, he's fed up of abuse from Welsh folk. We have to say, it does seem a bit far-fetched.
A bullied 20 stone giant?

Anyway, Craig, no hard feelings - basically because you won't be missed. Oh, and Saracens, half a million quid? The old adage about money and sense springs to mind.

Calzaghe - greatest Welsh boxer, ever?

Finally, we turn to someone who's definately worth his weight in gold - Joe Calzaghe. This week the Newbridge boxer successfully defended his title in an absolute thriller. It was Hearns V Hagler all over again - only this time there were twelve rounds to savour.

Let's be honest, Calzaghe's fought some bums lately. Brewer, though, was certainly no dummy. He gave Calzaghe's chin its sternest test to date. It proved unbreakable, however.

This victory sets Calzaghe up for a showdown with the undisputed middleweight champion, Bernard Hopkins (Oh, and it might be in the Millennium stadium to boot). If he wins that fight, you'd have to ask:

Is Calzaghe the greatest Welsh boxer, ever?
