Rob Brydon’s Identity Crisis

Rob Brydon’s Identity Crisis is on BBC4 on Friday at 9pm.  It's a programme in which he revisits his Welshness and challenges stereotypes.  (Apparently the Welsh are considered to be miserable.)

Proving he's a brave man (or simply reckless), A.A.Gill has taken part in the programme and writes about it in The Sunday Times.  Gill, don't forget, once called the Welsh "ugly pugnacious little trolls".  I'd urge my fellow Welsh men and women to relax and have a laugh.  This para had me laughing:

"The Welsh bruise easier than ripe peaches; they have insult detectors more sensitive than a bat in a thunderstorm. They can take offence at silence, and nothing in the world has skin as gossamer-fine as a Welshman with a grievance. Except for Brydon: he has skin like Cherie Blair’s buttocks."

Excellent put-down - one to go on the list I've seen circulating recently...
