The wife and I went to see Mr Nice at the Tivoli herte in stLouis MO on Saturday. I highly recommend this film to anybody Welsh[or not Welsh for that matter].Without giving the plot away, it's about a young Welsh teddyboy in the early 60's[Rhys Ifans]who does so well at school in the Valleys that his headmaster recommends him to take the Oxford Uni test.He passes and goes to Oxford where he soon becomes a hippy. He then graduates from Oxford after passing all his exams for teaching but then circumctances change and he becomes[true stori apparently] the most notorious drug dealer in the UK outwiting the British Gov. for a couple of decades.Great drama combined with wonderful wit.The nostalgic backdrop of Wales and London with period cars and lorrys highly entertaining too.Les Jenkins.

ps I won't say anything about Bangor Cities 1st venture into the champions league.
