LOL...this is why we want Anthony Hopkins to play Owain Glyndwr as Hannibal Lecter 3. Give Owain the vampire treatment. "Zombie Bloodlust of the Meibion Glyndwr" would make a good working title.I'll sample some of that Cwrw Conway next year. I'll skip the vodka though...toffee gives me a nasty rash.

Cwrw Conwy is starting to kick off up here, plus we got these crazy Anglesey youngsters making their own toffee vodka 'toffok'!!! Seriously. Not a bitter drinker, big lager lout me but Conwy bitter is ok, and the vodka is ok too, bit pricey though.Ye, Hollywood gave William Wallace the nice guy treatment, factually however he was a right twat. and immensely ugly by all accounts. Maybe Mel should have chilled out, had a few fosters and gone for a drive!!!

May I just point out that Brains bitter and SA is excellent for marinading.

Fascinating, and a very interesting perspective on Celtic history. Most, if not all of it is romanticized in the United States, and I would suspect elsewhere too. Very difficult to determine truth from lore, and Hollywood certainly doesn't help us out with any form of clarity whatsoever.I haven't tried Brains yet, I'll put it on the list! Tried some Double Dragon last year, I liked it quite a bit.Cheers,Joel

Our heroes are always sanitised.The GODODDIN were a pack of murdering, pilaging, looting,raping probably too, drunkards. Brave as you like though.The Princes werent exactly Princely, Llewelyn was an egotistic control freak who beat up women from some accounts. Dafydd was a treacherous bastard who'd sell his own brother for his own gain and did, not once but frequently.Owain Glyndwr was a bullying mercenary, happy enough to kill fellow Celts for English crown pay and favour in his youth, who used patriotism for his own purposes.And Henry Tudor was the meanest sonofa**** who ever sat on the English throne and had a claim on it based solely on his grandfathers bedroom skills with royal widows. So his granpa was a Welsh gigilo at English court ( Im getting on a bit but what an appealing job, do you think the Welsh bit would get me more business?)Yep, our heroes are so Welsh and quaint.But if Id have been alive at any of those times, I would probably have followed such men passionately to my death, and thanked them for the glory and priveliage of doing so.Now that is what being TRULY WELSH is about.Crack that beer barrel open wench while I spitroast another Scot? Frenchman? or is it an Englishman today, who cares, as long as its not South Walian, they taste horrible, its all that Brains bitter they drink down there. Plebs.
