Now that Catherine Zeta-Jones-Douglas has become firmly established in Hollywood, and Charlotte Church is a well-known celebrity slapper in the UK, the Welsh film industry is to receive additional funding to step up production. They are going to remake many well known films, but this time with a Welsh flavour.

The following are planned for release this year...

* 9½ Leeks
* Treforest Gump
* Cwmando
* The Lost Boyos
* An American Werewolf in Powys
* Huw Dares Gwyneth
* Dai Hard
* The Wizard of Oswestry
* Cool Hand Look-you
* Sheepless in Seattle
* The Eagle has Llandudno
* The Magnificent Severn
* Haverfordwest Was Won
* Austin Powys
* The Magic Rhonddabout
* Independence Dai
* The Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch That Time Forgot
* Seven Brides from Seven Sisters
* Welsh Connection
* Welsh Connection II
* The Bridge on the River Wye
* Lawrence of Llandybie
* A Beautiful Mind-you
* The Welsh Patient
* The King and Mair
* Breakfast at Taffynys

* Evans Can Wait
* A Fishguard Called Rhondda
* Where Eagles Aberdare
* Dial M For Merthyr
 
Very good - I must copy and paste that and stick it on an email to my aunt who lives "in the valleys" and is married to a Welshman - she's become token Welsh herself and loves to send people presents with "I love Wales" or Welsh dragons plastered all over them!!
 
:lol: :lol: brilliant......... I knew just a few of those!! you also know that NAT WEST is HAVERFORD-WEST brother and while driving just outside Cardiff drive very Caerphilly, and if you see Taffs Well, say hello boyo I did not know you were I'll.............
 
Then there was that classic... two elderly American female tourists touring Wales arrived at that well known place called...

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoc.

There they went into a Burger Bar, and was greeted by this lovely blonde!! Welsh waitress, they ordered their food and the blonde waitress arrived back with the order and placed it on their table.

These two elderly yanks were really intrigued by the place name they had arrived at and ask the waitress if she could spell where they were, so they could write it down, but can you please spell it slowly!!!!

And the blonde waitress said yes o/k no problem..... Bbbbbuuurrggggeeeerrrr Bbbbbaaaaarrrrrr
 
That's brill, Brian - I particularly like 'Sheepless in Seattle'! You could add 'Se7ern' to it - it's the sort of bonkers game to while away a few hours when waiting for Cheltenham to fire up.
