Ravenhill Promotions Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 South Wales is still very shit though, Swansea and Newport are both fucking terrible places filled with fucking terrible people. And your experiences of these cities are? Â Well... It's the South innit! Nah, to be fair, you did the petition for Wrexham FC, and I have no real problem with the south only "I hate the taffs" banter. Â But North Walians, especially from Llangollen are inherently better. Than Everyone. Â Â Until recently, I actually didn't realise there was a divide between North and South Wales. I know Orig used to give me grief for not being a Welsh speaker, and used to say how North Wales was 'more Welsh' than South Wales, but I never used to take much notice of him, I just used to say that without South Wales, Wales would just be a giant farm! That never went down well with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRISProdigy Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Having grown up in Newport I can tell you that it's not as bad as people make out. The Celtic Manor is brilliant, we have one of the only two velodromes in the country, good sporting facilities and decent nightlife. It' more to do with what you make of a place rather than what the place actually is, I can't complain about it at all. Â I'd like to know what the people who think Newport is shit experiences of the place actually are? Â On topic Mason Ryan has "IT" and will be WWE Champion one day, I'd put money on it.

AshC Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The Ryder Cup in Newport was the most impressive sporting event I've seen staged in the UK, never mind Wales. The whole infrastructure of the operation was staggering. Hundreds if not thousands of local workers and volunteers were the backbone of this, and every American I spoke to spoke glowingly of their time in South Wales.

wrestlingmad Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I love North Wales. Great place to visit, generally a bunch of luck villages and tidy people. The south however im not a fan of Newport as a whole, Cardiff is my favourite. Cardiff has everything close together and it has links to anywhere pretty much.

Paid Members garynysmon Posted February 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 North Wales is class. Having lived in both North West and the North East, I feel entitled to say that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruud Love Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Newport born and bred here. Â - Brilliant football club on the rise. - Ryder Cup nothing short of a spectacle. - An interesting mix of absolute scum and intelligent common sense beings - A resurgent music scene (See Dirty Goods - Hollywood) - In the middle of a regeneration... Â I think us Newportonians jest that it's a shit-hole in many aspects but love it all the same. Much like most UK cities. Â PS, was loving Mason Ryan's Welsh dialogue to CM Punk recently.

AshC Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I was in North Wales yesterday - Conwy and Colwyn Bay, stunning. Â They need Punk to start speaking Welsh back to Barri. That'd be gold. They could be conspiring against the other Nexus lads. Â Great username Ruud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinceMcMahon Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I thought Barri looked very green last week. Not sure about his finisher either, he could do with a big power move. Â I'm from South Wales and I loves it I do. North Wales has better scenery and the Welsh language culture is interesting (even though half the people up there are retired English people escaping busy multicultural cities) but it's waaaay too quiet, conservative and insular for me. Nice to visit but I wouldn't live there. It's like going back to the 1970s. Their accents are weird as well - they sound like Scandinavian people speaking Scouse.

Â My accent when speaking English is pretty crap fair play, but it's our second language, so hey! Â Agree on Barri's finisher though. Prefer the modified Rock Bottom he did on John Cena.

Paid Members garynysmon Posted February 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2011 My English is fine, just the accent isn't the best. I'm a journalist for an English speaking paper, so can't be that bad! Â Think Rhys Ifans' accent, not been tamed by living in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â No problem, I sound like a full on valley commando haha and I speak Welsh as a second language as well. I met someone from a village near Wrexham the other day who almost sounded like he was from Cardiff - which is weird because nowhere inbetween those places has an accent anything like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
