So, Welsh 'Saviour' Graham Henry is selling his Castleton home, complete with sauna and swimming pool, for five-hundred grand. A nice fat wedge for someone who's left Wales as 100-1 outsiders for The World Cup - our highest odds ever!

This news comes in a week when the W.RU. have given his successor an extortionate fifty-grand pay rise - haven't they ever heard of performance related pay?

The answer, my friend, isn't blowing in the wind

There's more disgusting news this week as Westminster continues its policy of destroying Wales. Thirty-nine ugly monstrosities are being dumped on our beloved hills. No, not statues of Margaret Thatcher, but overgrown windmills - all in the name of renewable energy. In a country desperate to boost tourism, this is a real kick in the teeth

Film project on cutting-room floor

The Government, however, has been quick enough to veto plans for a Welsh 'Hollywood' at llanilid near Bridgend - the pathetic excuse being potential transport problems. The multi-million pound scheme, including film studios and a theme park, would have brought thousands of jobs to an employment blackspot. If Wales is to attract more tourists, the powers that be should be looking at the big picture and not just the small print.

Euro right

Thankfully the government won't be spoiling July's international Eisteddfod, where Euro's can be used for the first time. Still, the scheme has its detractors, in the form of the 'save the pound' brigade led by Wendy Boardman. She threatens to spark off major protests in the town to defend an English currency depicting a tax dodger. Well, Wendy, you'll have a rude awakening when one man minus his dog turns up to support you.

Monks into dirty habit

Talking of misplaced loyalties, Monks on Caldey Island (near Tenby) will be cheering on England in the World Cup - they're already praying for David Beckham's foot. When England are knocked out let's hope they're stunned into talking.

Continuing the World Cup theme, Cardiff top the list of fans banned from travelling to the competition. Apparently, these thugs were planning to support England - mindless or what?
