Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus
Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
-Richard Dawkins
"Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off", the paper said on Tuesday."
Well as a welshman myself i can only try to offer my insight. I think it may be to do with the old saying "Taffy was a welshman, taffy was a thief" and the english description for "welching on a bet". The term 'welch' from which the name for Wales and the welsh comes, is actualy an old anglo-saxon word for foreigner.
Which is kind of rich when the 'german' Saxons were the actual foreigners to the british isles at the time, and from whom the english have their roots(added with a good dose of norman french of course)
Since our brutal occupation these are just some of the tags that have been heaped upon welsh people as a whole.
So in reaction to this maybe the guy just decided he couldn't hack being accused of 'welching' on his bet?
Or maybe we're just a bunch of celtic nutters?

This can't possibly be a generally Welsh trait, or they wouldn't have survived as a race. It was my impression that you need those things to reproduce, you know.
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn anwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri
Ei gwrol rhyfelwyr, gwlad garwyr tra mad
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Chorus
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra mor yn fur
I'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r heniaith barhau.
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sy'n hardd
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd i mi
Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad dan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.
The land of my fathers is dear unto me
Old land where the minstrels are honoured and free
Its warring defenders so gallant and brave
For freedom their life's blood they gave.
Chorus
Home, home, true am I to home
While seas secure the land so pure
O may the old language endure.
Old land of the mountains, the Eden of bards
Each gorge and each valley a loveliness guards
Through love of my country, charmed voices will be
Its streams, and its rivers, to me.
Though foemen have trampled my land 'neath their feet
The language of Cambria still knows no retreat
The muse is not vanquished by traitor's fell hand
Nor silenced the harp of my land."
It was a good and deserving victory over the england rugby team, but not worth losing your nuts over imho

"Anyone who has heard the Welsh national anthem being sung by thousands of rugby fans will tell you it's an unforgettable song.
No matter what your nationality, it'll make the hairs on the back of you neck stand on end.
My partner's father is in a Welsh male voice choir, and they're extremely popular all over Europe, the United States and Canada. They even scored free drinks for all of them when walking back from a performance in Germany. The bar owner heard their accents, invited them in to sing one song, and then it was free beer all the way. Very happy Welshmen.
I always like the bit in 'Zulu' when they sing 'Men of Harlech'. Gets to me in the same way as when they sing 'The Marseillaise' in 'Casablanca'.

And suddenly I understand why that guy in the pic has no teeth, it's so he can pronounce these words!!!

Did the Welsh trade their vowels to the Finns in exchange for their consonants?
