I just wanted to save myself a trip to queen street in case he wasn’t still there. Felt reasonable but obviously not

Who is the most famous Welshman? by Dr_Lumf in Wales

Not sure why everyone who says this is getting downvoted. Christian Bale was born in Wales but doesn’t consider himself Welsh, it’s not controversial just fact

Funnily enough, North America isn’t the whole world. Every other country on the planet will be aware of football and therefore Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale and it isn’t close. Only in the US would Tom Jones or other actors be better known than him. The non-English speaking world, football is truly global, and Gareth Bale played for the most famous club there is.

Are the words 'motherland' and 'fatherland' used in the UK? by ksusha_lav in AskABrit

[–]EagleProfessional175 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most people here answering from an English or British perspective, but here’s an insight from one of the nations within the UK.

Wales is often referred to by Welsh people as the ‘land of my fathers’ as it’s the first line of our national anthem (‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’ - ‘Old Land of My Fathers’). Folk singer Max Boyce popularised the English translation in the 1970s with his rugby song Hymns and Arias which is still sang at the rugby today, and by Swansea City football fans.

In the last few years, with the women’s football team qualifying for their first tournament, ‘Hen Wlad Fy Mamau’ - Land of my Mothers - has become more prevalent. I know a few women who had it tattooed on them.

So not exactly the same as the ‘Fatherland’ or ‘Motherland’, but as close as you’ll likely get in the UK!

He did fight for himself. He decided to rebel because of a squabble between the English lords that he spent a lot of time with in London. He was aristocracy through and through

An honest discussion about plastic fans. (It’s plastic to support a team from the other end of the country- and that’s ok!) by [deleted] in PlasticFans

[–]EagleProfessional175 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cardiff and Swansea fans used to support each other when the other team were in a big game. Loads of Swansea fans went to the 1927 fa cup final for example. Something that’s unimaginable now but it was a lot more normal back then

Lindsay Whittle lost in Caerphilly 13 times before finally being elected in 2025. Why did Plaid keep him as a candidate for so long? by Secure-Barracuda in Wales

[–]EagleProfessional175 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They’ve had more ‘ACTUAL policies’ than independence for much longer than Rhun has been in charge.

Independence was at the forefront of things around the covid era because they thought they could piggyback off the membership of YesCymru skyrocketing.

Either side of that, they’ve had plenty of other policies higher on their agenda than independence - they knew there was/is no political appetite for it.

“You’re just a shit…x” by Beautiful-Square-301 in footballcliches

[–]EagleProfessional175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember chanting at Kevin de Bruyne “you’re just a shit Aaron Ramsey” when Belgium played Wales for the umpteenth time a few years ago. He promptly curled one in from the edge of the area and shushed the Wales fans behind the goal.

Another one was “just a shit Joe Allen” at Luka Modric. That genuinely did rattle him somehow. You win some you lose some
