One of my personal favourites from the great man, taken from his debut Live at Treorchy RFC 1974 album. Gareth Edwards told me personally this was his favourite song of all time when i bumped into him at a Scarlets/Ulster match a few years ago, a wonderful man to speak to and so grounded for man of such stature, great knowledge of sport in general including a basic knowledge of GAA.

There will be 65,000 Wales fans in the Millenium Stadium to watch the Semi Final against France on the big screens! More will watch the game in the Millenium than actually at the game! Hats off to the WRU for putting this on for free at a weeks notice!

Quote of the day goes to Tom Skanklin after he said on Twitter "the last time i was this nervous about a semi was watching Brokeback Mountain"!!!!

I read where gates open at 6.30am and the bar opens an hour and a half later!

Classic stuff BE...an all round sound guy by all appearances...We appear to share an enjoyment of young Boyce who's a diamond IMO...

Here's an excerpt of what Wales can bring to tomorrows joust against those Frogs....Determination and truth..

Far from me to be outdone, while not being up to BE's level of celebrity status, a'la the great Gareth, Boxty spent a weekend in Cardiff circa 1980/81 languishing in what was called "The Bristol Hotel", a handy call for a boozer, on the Penarth Road in Cardiff...

For some reason the former (barely) British Lion flanker, John Taylor, got mixed up in the Fenagh entourage and as the night progressed we ended up in the Workmans club in the Tiger Bay area of the city....

Taylor vouched for us, called a round, and in a flash we were introduced to the middle man in the accomopanying clip.....

The dawn broke in some pub in a place called Dinys Pows.....Halycon days, Boxty was younger then......
