I'll go first with the 'international Sonic Youth forum country survey about countries other than America'. So - Wales, eh?

There's too much Wales-bashing if you ask me, although I fully realise that you didn't.
Wales has some very nice scenery, especially trees. Not only that, but Dylan Thomas was Welsh. A lot of slate comes from Wales. And coal. Or at least it used to, before we English decided that the Welsh weren't allowed to have jobs, or something. Just because hardly anyone speaks their language, including them, and just because they haven't invented any new words since we invented the crossbow or whatever, is no excuse to go for cheap shots. Pembrokeshire is a lovely place. I really like that part of the world. And that weird bookshop in Llangollen; you walk up the stairs to what you think will be a tiny shop, but it opens into a great ig fuckoff warehouse. It's cool. And Portmeirion, the totally mad place where The Prisoner and an old Doctor Who story was filmed. Not to mention an XTC video. And Snowdon's a very cool mountain. You can get a steam train to the top. You can if you're prepared to splash out the best part of twenty quid, anyway. Wales has been responsible for lots of firsts: their tourist information board is very proud of the fact that the first Welsh heavy metal band were Welsh, the first Welsh painter was Welsh and the first ever Welsh astronomer was also Welsh. They specialise in selling boxes of fudge with postcards of Wales on the top. I'm not sure why. Many Welsh people have very good manners. Some have very fine haircuts too, I'm told. You can surf in Wales, I'm told, and they have a decent university. Llbyr Llaethog, who are mentioned in the poll above, were quite interesting. The Welsh song tournament, the Eisteddfod, was once held not in Wales but in Birkenhead...MY HOME TOWN! There's a thingy commemorating this special occaision in Birkenhead Park, the first public park in the world, which is home to a new visitor centre, several bridges and some very nice squirrels, but that's got nothing to do with Wales. Although Wales does have some of the UK's few remaining red squirrels, thanks to a breeding programme at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay. There's a Welsh company that makes very nice, and quite strong, green banana wine. Wales: it's OK.

Good letchery, !"£$!%. Excellent stuff from Hip Priest. It's a lovely country, much maligned. I've had some wonderful nights out in Cardiff and Swansea, and the countryside can be amazing. Generally, although the Welsh are ocassionally a bit off with the English, they are lovely generous peeps.

i forgot to mention, drunken geniuses like dylan thomas or dr. lecter (in his good roles, not the crap stuff) give wales a good name, even though i've never ever considered visiting the place.

Dylan Thomas is a giant of the twentieth century.
I went to his house a few years ago, and the boathouse which he used to write in. That was a nice experience. Laugharne, I think the town is called. There's a castle there too.

The total genius, moral compass and bloody fine fellow Ian Hislop was born in Wales. And for that the world should be thankful, because he's bloody brilliant.

Ian Hislop looks like a pig. He rules. HIGNFY is not on TV this week also, sadly.
