After first minute, I thought we were very dozy and were going to get thrashed by the Italians. Thanks goodness the cream rose :-D :-D. Singing always good at Parc Eirias (where I spent many happy childhood days).

So to tomorrow. Went to a restaurant last night very close to Millennium. Waitress asked me if I had enjoyed my starter. "Very nice" I said. "When we were here last time, Rhys Priestland was sitting at that table. He was most upset because everybody was crowding round my table trying to get my autograph" I jested rather elegantly, I thought.

"Sorry, I have never heard of Rhys Priestland" she demurely replied as she took away my savaged lobster claws. I just told her he was even more famous than me in Wales. :-D ;-) She looked suitably shocked at my humility.

English (literal translation) of Sosban Fach:

Mary-Ann has hurt her finger,
And David the servant is not well.
The baby in the cradle is crying,
And the cat has scratched little Johnny.

A little saucepan is boiling on the fire,
A big saucepan is boiling on the floor,
And the cat has scratched little Johnny.

Little Dai the soldier,
Little Dai the soldier,
Little Dai the soldier,
And his shirt tail is hanging out.

Mary-Ann's finger has got better,
And David the servant is in his grave;
The baby in the cradle has grown up,
And the cat is 'asleep in peace'.

A little saucepan is boiling on the fire,
A big saucepan is boiling on the floor,
And the cat is 'asleep in peace'.

Little Dai the soldier,
Little Dai the soldier,
Little Dai the soldier,
And his shirt tail is hanging out.

Old Mary Jones went to the fair in Caerau,
To buy a tea set;
But Mary and her teacups ended up in a ditch,
Through the consumption of rather too much "tea".

A little saucepan is boiling on the fire,
A big saucepan is boiling on the floor,
And the cat is 'asleep in peace'.

Ethan Davies scores 3 penalty points for Wales! <3
SCORE TO DATE: 8-3 to Wales <3
