Apologies Barrie! I can never tell Cardiff and Swansea apart. They are both jam packed with mad Welshmen!

Cardiff play in blue! Swans are white.

Now BT when did we last play Cardiff.

I'm just reading Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), they're on a hill overlooking a Turkish garrison and a shepherd boy is approaching with his flock. Worried that he might give their position away they capture him. Lawrence then tells how the shepherds in Arabia are a class apart, out in the hills with their flocks from a very young age and totally uneducated. He says,

"With manhood they become sullen, while a few turned dangerously savage, more animal than man, haunting the flocks, and finding the satisfaction of their adult appetites in them, to the exclusion of more licit affections."

And there was me thinking it was just the Welsh.

The mind boggles.There wouldn't be sheep in Arabia.No No it couldn't be camels,must be goats.

The Welsh like their comforts and wool is soft and warm.The wellies are specially made as well.

You're quite right Barrie, he calls him a shepherd but it is goats he's looking after. At the moment they don't know what to do with him, he was terrified when he was captured because the goats belonged to the Turks and were now roaming wild, he's now in an even worse state because they've slaughtered, cooked and eaten the goats they managed to round up. They can't reason with him, and they still fear he could betray them to the Turks, so at the moment he's tied to a tree while they go out blowing up the Turks railway line passing through the area..

Inevitable really, how many managers who are on the brink, like Hughes has been for weeks, actually pull it round and survive ? There must be some, but off hand I can't think of any.
