I'm the Hen Ferchetan. This is my take on the world through the eyes of Wales. While mostly about Welsh politics (that most famous of dour topics!) I try to scatter some humour around, but I doubt anyone but me will find it funny! Have a read, and if it bores you then feel free to never come back!

The Lord Doth Speak

TEAM GB will have a football team for the 2012 Games, Seb Coe has confirmed, whatever opposition is put up by the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish.

The creation of the team has been opposed by the Football Associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who are concerned it may compromise their individual status within Fifa.

But he said the BOA, which selects teams for the Games, has decided to press ahead with a football squad despite the opposition.

When asked last night about the opposition from the Welsh and Scots, Coe replied bluntly: “F*** em!”

The feeling's mutual mate. Prat.
Hat Tip: Gareth Young

Update: Interesting update to this story, the above story was printed in The London Paper, it is no longer available online. The Metro then wrote a story headed "
Seb Coe denies 'f*** 'em' Olympic row" and now that story has also been taken down!

If Wales do not take part in the team, do you think the games should still be played in Cardiff?

Can't say I really care Nick. As long as no-one expects me to support them they can play where they like.

Anyway, I doubt "Team GB" would be playing in Cardiff, i assume all the "big" games will be at Wembley while Cardiff gets Hong Kong v Cambodia!
