"As I walked through the wilderness of this world . . ."

Brother against brother

with one comment

A few days ago my brother (the gifted, famous one!) blogged about a certain Wales vs. England rivalry that would surface from time to time in the Walker household. I was more rugby, he was more football; I was more Wales, he more England.

This was picked up by Radio 5 Live, who have invited him and – with much trepidation – allowed me on for a brief interview this morning, apparently due to air at about 0750 hours, at which point we shall be expected to renew the ancient rivalry live, right here, right now. Today’s European qualifier between Wales and England at the Millennium Stadium has apparently prompted this desire.

I am early awake after a busy day yesterday with the safe arrival of a daughter, Cerys Abigail (7lbs 7oz). I imagine that they will be asking which team she shall be encouraged to support. With the name Cerys, it may prove a foregone conclusion.

Feel free to listen in, or I will try and give a post-ruck link later.

Update: so they were running late, it lasted about one minute, I gibbered like a fool and my brother could not pronounce any words. And I was all ready to give them a few verses of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau! Link to follow of my first, and very likely only, foray into national radio.
