Talking of finals, Charlotte Church got her 'amazing' GSCE results this week. And there's been a pathetic overreaction by the media. Apparently, her demanding concert schedule has somehow made her grades more remarkable than the 'full-time' state school kid.

Get real! The wealthy singer had two personal tutors at her beck and call. Any idiot can tell you that privileged education gets the grades. That's why the top Universities are over-represented by toffee nosed twits from public school.

Things looking up for Swansea men (and women)

Meanwhile, Swansea men are getting a little help of their own. A new survey finds our second City is the Viagra capital of Wales. Does this mean that the male inhabitants were former flops in the bedroom?
"No", said Carl Williams, a local Viagra user, "It's just that the local woman are getting uglier."

We're refraining from judgement on the issue, at least until we visit Swansea on our monthly pubcrawl.

No Max Boyce in 100 Greatest Britons

Another poll, to find the 100 Greatest Britons, has been compiled this week. Unsurprisingly, there's only a spattering of Welshmen (and no Welsh women). How the hell did the likes of David Beckham, Boy George and Robbie 'vastly overrated' Williams get in there?

Even more baffling is the inclusion of Bono and Geldof - they're about as British as Anthony Hopkins aren't they? Notable exclusions are; Dylan Thomas, William Wordsworth and Max Boyce. The Welsh folk star is said to be gutted by his omission - an injustice if ever there was one!

Penalties for enterprise culture

Finally, what about the Blackwood youth who stole a 30ft public bus and then made £150 in fares from the unsuspecting passengers he picked up.

He's now been sentenced to a one-year driving ban - unbelievably really. Young people are always being encouraged to show initiative, so what kind of precedent does this set? At the very least, such boldness merits a grant from the Prince's Trust, surely.
