to any DU'ers who are Welsh or of Welsh ancestry.
Today is a day of celebration in the land of Our Fathers (also the land of Rugby, Male Voice Choirs, Castles, Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta Jones, Richard Burton, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Dylan Thomas, David Lloyd George, Rowan Williams the Archbishop of Canterbury, Captain Sir Henry Morgan, Owain Glyndwr, the Tudor dynasty, Hanging Judge Jeffries, T.E Lawrence of Arabia, and, er, me and probably many notable others.)

Dave helped spread Christianity to the pagans Celtic tribes of Britain.
Happy Pagan-Forced Convergence Day
