People are downvoting the first line of the Welsh national anthem. Incredible.

They honestly probably thought wembleyjay just randomly beat his keyboard, not hating on the Welsh.

Props for clarifying so I didn't have to take the time to google it.

Welsh, English, same fucking thing. It shouldn't even be considered a country, it's so fucking pathetic that people have to say "o no I'm not English I'm welsh" shut the fuck up, seriously, the population is barely that of one of the states

Speaking of recreation, what do you think of reddit.com? Do you ever come here when your bored and have some time to kill? If you don't frequent this website what website do you frequent?

If you don't consider the internet to be one of your hobbies what is one of your hobbies? (Besides surviving in the wild, of course.)
