Name a famous Welshman

Neil Kinnock
Anthony Hopkins
Ryan Giggs
Tom Jones

I can't think of any. Welsh means Norwegian?

Tom Jones, Jonathan Edwards. I'd name more but I'm really tired after stalking msgman (!!) and I can't think straight.....

Welsh means from Wales......

Can't think of one.

Sean Connery.
Ewan McGregor.

Sean Connery and Ewan McGregor are Scottish!

...I'm guessing that's different than Welsh?
Oh come on, you're being silly, right?

Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Cerys Matthews, The Stereophonics (maybe not all of them, though), Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta Jones.

Of course it's different.

Scottish means from Scotland. Welsh means from Wales. Calling a Scotsman Welsh is like saying a New Yorker is Texan.

Tom Jones

I can think of five who are about equally famous. It depends on what sort of crowd you hang with. Pop star Tom Jones, Poet Dylan Thomas, Revolutionary Oliver Cromwell, and film stars Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins.

Incidentally, the first thing I thought of was not so famous but very influential Cardiff band the Young Marble Giants.

Patrick Henry?

Oliver Cromwell wasn't Welsh! He was born in England, and lived for a time in my home town. His family were of Welsh origin, but Olly himself was English by birth and upbringing.

Catatonia - well the male members. Kelly Jones. I really should know more than that!!!

Oooohhh. I did not know that.

My father was born in Wales and he was a famous rider on The Wall of Death in Southend -On -Sea, Essex, England in the early 60's. He rode as part of Tornado Smith's show.

Why are you called Hitler?

I don't even know what country Welsh is in. Or if it is a country, were it's located. Near Scotland? William Wallace? He was Scottish, or maybe Irish? I don't know. No clue.

Welsh people are from Wales. William Wallace was a Scot.

The only one I can come up with off the top of my head is Tom Jones.

Thx. Wales is in south England (AKA Great Britain, right?), am I right?

Can't say that I could.

Correctomundo!

Hmm.
Well this changes everything.

Everything?

Wales is one of the four countries which make up the United Kingdom, and one of the three countries on the island of Great Britain.

Confused? You should be Let me explain a bit further....

Britain is a geographical entity consisting of an island off the north-east coast of mainland Europe. Specifically, the British Isles are all the islands in the archipelago, and Great Britain is the name of the largest single island.

England is a political entity, consisting of a country wholly contained within the island of Great Britain (plus a few small and pretty insignificant offshore islands). Wales and Scotland are separate political entities to England, also contained within the island of Great Britain (although Scotland has a lot of small offshore islands as well).

The United Kingdom is a political entity, consisting of a federal state that currently comprises the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the principality of Wales and the territory of Northern Ireland. The entire geographical territory of Great Britain is part of the United Kingdom, but the United Kingdom also contains territory on the island of Ireland (and several small islands, including a few that are not part of the British Isles).

A couple of maps can be seen at these links:

In a sense, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can be considered to be the equivalent of states in the USA. But it's more complex than that, partly because England, Scotland and Wales were once independent countries, and the four constituent parts of the UK don't all have equal status (unlike the US, where all the states are considered equal).

Everything!
*sobs*
I-- I didn't know...

Tom Jones

Sean Connery? He is Scotch, and Welsh I believe. Whatever, he is a classy man. Richard Burton?

T.E. Lawrence.

Thx. Knowledge is awesome.

Tom Jones

Um...Prince Charles? Since he's the Prince of Wales, I assume he is Welsh, but I really don't know for sure. I don't get how all that Royal Family stuff works.

Tom Jones!

Tom Jones

It's not unusual.........

Just thought of it out of the blue. Is there a problem?

Terry Jones.

A Welshman is someone from Wales, which is a country in Europe.
The juice you are making reference to is Welch's.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe PGA golfer Ian Woosnan is from Wales.

Correct

Tom Jones, Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton.. take your pick. Of course there was this guy called Neil Kinnock but all he's famous for is losing two general elections and falling over on Blackpool beach.

Aaaaargh! I thought of someone else when I was sat in Politics today but I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO!!!! AAAAAARGH!

But what about mullet-man? He was from Rhyl - that sounds either Welsh or Scottish.

Tom Jones? Harry Secombe?

No.

Dylan Thomas

Wales is not in England. It is a country. It sits on the western side of Great Britain, next to England.

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh i though a welchman was cool and refreshing. i guess their actually losers and non refreshing

Actually, I think Anthony Hopkins is officially American now

Anthony Hopkins.

Can't think of one. In fact what's a Welshman?

Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief. Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef!

Its a man who comes from this place.
I originally come from a place near Wrexham in the North West of Wales.

Ryan Giggs!

Oh my God. I cant believe that so many people don't know what a welshman is!!

Has anyone ever been to Anglesey? I used to live there when I was very young so I learnt welsh and english simultaneously at a young age.!!I used to be able to speak welsh fluently, but I've forgotten most of it now. Did you know that the welsh word for the no 5 is pump (pronounced pimp!)?

I went to Anglesey once - it rained.

It always rained. I think that's why we moved!

Cool, thanks for the info.

Wales. You?

Tom Jones, the (old) tiger of Wales.

I checked other, cause I know a famous Welshwoman by the name of Bonnie Tyler, who topped the charts in 1983 with "Total Eclipse of the Heart." That song was written and produced by Jim Steinman, who is most famous for writing and producing Meat Loaf's "Bat out of Hell" album.
