But it is nice to have a sense of belonging. Same with supporting a football team, it's kind of like tribalism. But yeah, it can be taken too far. |

considering how Wales gets picked on (i seem to recall James in an interview being sick of hearing the phrase "the size of Wales" in regards to any disaster area), i've always admired Nicky for being proud of his Welsh origins and all that is good from his homeland. and, in fairness, neither he nor the band have been shy in being critical of the place as and when called upon.

Haha, I can't imagine what it must be like to be this man. This comment he left under his video made me laugh:
"lol if you put urself out there you will be questioned, depends wot u mean by film star ppl say i look like gene hackman not good lookin but he done ok, i will soon be doing a vid on patriots so hang tight dont dog me too much everything done tounge in cheek love" "Gene Hackman"? "Don't dog me"? This man must be incredibly retarded or have some sort of borderline personality disorder. |

the single most frequent question i get asked on my travels around the world is "why exactly do so many nations exist in such a small island space and why do you all hate each other?". i have no answer, except to say "well, i did move.....".

I agree with Lee, I admire the band's pride in being Welsh. Pride in one's culture and enviornment doesn't always mean a lack of respect for other places and people, it's only the extremist with their own political agenda that perpetuate this stereotype. I'm not sure how that really matters with respect to how proud Wire is to come from Wales. I'm mostly Irish descent with a bit of English and German thrown in for good measure and I'm quite proud of the fact that I'm Canadian. I don't think your ancestral heritage trumps the enviornment in which you've grown up in and have subsequently laid down your own personal roots. |

Lol! My bad! I really should have known that was your intent. It's a fair point actually.
