"Welsh willfulness""The Welsh are stubborn--very, very stubborn.
The Welsh themselves would probably rather say "tenacious," but to
anyone on the receiving end a better description might well be
"bloody-minded."""" "Proud and proud of it""Welsh pride is real
pride--the sort of mindless, instinctive, animal pride that
requires no justification or excuse. It is simply pride for the
sake of pride. Such pride is the only thing one has left when one
has been stripped of everything else.""" "It's not unusual to be .
. . an actor""Given the propensity of Welsh people of all types to
overact at every given opportunity, it is not surprising that those
who manage to tone it down a bit have gone on to world fame as
actors (or politicians, who are, after all, only an inferior
species of actors).""" "Warriors at heart""The Welsh are extremely
proficient at rugby. They enjoy it and they take it seriously. This
is because rugby--with its physical aggression, tactics,
disciplined use of brute force, and organized violence--is the
closest thing modern day life can offer to Wales' traditional
national sport: war."
