I went to [Kettle-Moraine High School], 20 miles outside the city [in Wales, Wis.], and I've stayed in touch with some of my friends. So it's definitely special coming here. I got to spend time with everybody when I came in earlier in the season [with the Reds], but this is business now.

Joe Randa

There are still parts of Wales where the only concession to gaiety is a striped shroud.

Gwyn Thomas

Each section of the British Isles has its own way of laughing, except Wales, which doesn't.

Stephen Leacock

In Wales it's brilliant. I go to the pub and see everybody who I went to school with. And everybody goes 'So what you doing now?' And I go, 'Oh, I'm doing a film with Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins.' And they go, 'Ooh, good.' And that's it.

Catherine Zeta Jones

There was no wind and it was 75 degrees. It was ideal for scoring. We just didn't really get anything going. We didn't play terribly. But give it to Johnson and Wales ? that's some good stuff there.

[But the most insurmountable difficulties were family. Stein's wife had travelled to Wales and his daughter had started at a local school but it was difficult and when the news came from Scotland that their home had been burgled, Stein informed the Llanelly manager Jack Goldsborough that he was heading back north of the border, a year or so after his arrival in Wales.] He liked it in Llanelli, ...

Simon Jenkins

I prefer league to union but have no regrets about my time in Wales. Unfortunately Cardiff were rebuilding and we did not have any real success but I played more than 20 times for Wales in some of the finest stadiums in the world.

Iestyn Harris

We're quite heavy on opening the sport up, and an event like this brings a completely new audience to golf. People like Jodie Kidd just have a different appeal, rather than the Wales Open which is more the golfing market.

We know the defense is the heart of our team. It's like any other sport. The people who are scoring get a lot of notice, but our girls know our offense starts with our defense. Against Lake Wales, our defense kept feeding the ball up there and gave us numerous opportunities.

Art Weaver

It is a worry because Shane just hasn't been able to shake off the problem, but it is still our hope that he will be fit for the Heineken Cup and then for Wales in the Autumn.

Steve Tilson

Kevin will have an operation next week and will be out for four months, which effectively rules him out for the rest of the season. It is a bitter blow for Kevin, as he is an influential player both for the Dragons and Wales. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Jim Mccreedy

I desperately wanted to stay on against Wales but the shoulder was not right. It got to the point where I could not lift my arm and I had to go off. I was so disappointed, I could not bring myself to watch until the closing minutes.

Mark Cueto

All we are asking is to have the same opportunity as the other three teams in the competition. If Wales can't beat Italy without Dwayne Peel then you have to ask questions.

Stuart Gallacher

I strongly reject and resent Gareth's accusation that we do not have the talent in Wales 'to be able to sustain a region with 100 per cent development'.

Steve Lewis

The immediate presumption must be that she is Princess of Wales. People may think that the Diana phenomenon is almost as faded as her fountain (undergoing repairs at London's Hyde Park), but there will be Diana-maniacs who will get cross.

David Starkey

I have loved my time in Wales, and I feel a particular affinity with the Welsh people.

Michael Knight

Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress?

Prince Charles

Lake Wales is a tremendous defensive squad. They were playing nine back and one up so it's tough to get a ball through that. It was a good battle. I felt it was going to be a one goal game either way and we were fortunate to get the bounce and put it in. Whoever you play at this stage of the season is going to be good so I expect every game to be close from here on out.

Art Weaver

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!

If England, Ireland and Wales want it we would not stand in their way.

Andy Mitchell

The result last season lets us see what is possible. We know it will be hard. But we showed huge improvement against Wales and could have won the match.

He never disputed (Diana's) charges, ... He never wanted anyone to defend him. With the result, her version of the events is the accepted version, accepted wisdom and I think it's extremely unfair to the Prince of Wales.

Penny Junor

Robbie [Savage] quit Wales after being told he was dropped!

John Toshack

Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country.

It was the worst result Wales could have wished for. Sven-Goran Eriksson will have to say just one word in his pre-match talk, 'Denmark.

John Hartson

Last year's competition proved that there are some fantastic fiddle players in Wales and something we should be more aware of. Traditional music is a part of our heritage and this weekend will help to preserve and develop it for everyone's future.

David Hughes

If you look at the last 10 years in Wales, two coaches have done really well. Gareth Jenkins has a huge knowledge of the game. And I firmly believe that Lyn would do a fantastic job as Wales coach.

Being a Tier 2 team, they played like a Tier 1 team. They played very well and I think they had a lot of heart. ... (Gorham Coach Eric Wales) has them believing in (their) system. They gave us a hard time.

Jay Mazur

When I won in Wales I shot 27 on the front nine and I was looking at my notes from that week this morning.

Simon Khan

For anybody to question whether I am behind the Wales cause is ridiculous and unfair. I have hardly missed a training session with any of my managers during my career and recent remarks about me are complete nonsense. I am proud to play for Wales and always will be.

Ben Thatcher

I thought we controlled the game, but we didn't control it so well in the last 20 minutes and Wales threw everything at us at the end.

So many students have respect for him because of his hard work on the language and on Wales, but also people have respect for him due to his hard work promoting peace and his involvement in CND Cymru.

I will be making inquiries as to what the proposals potentially are, but my starting point is we have a very good record in North Wales and results are very good and any changes have to be viewed in that light as to whether they will improve the service.

Lembit Opik

I am very excited to be here in Wales and look forward to putting on the Cardiff Blues shirt.

Jonah Lomu

He's arguably the best utility player in the game, and that's where he's been selected for New South Wales and selected for Australia.

Brian Canavan

I appeal to my colleagues in England, Scotland and Wales to give serious thought to this matter.

Elizabeth Clarkson Zwart

[With the E-Crime Manifesto initiative] Wales may be well ahead of other governments in what it is doing [in bringing together] government, law enforcers and private industry – everyone has the same difficulties.

Fred Gibson

As well as helping Aaron prepare Justin is very useful to the Wales squad, as he is the only one who can push back Kevin Evans (heavyweight hope). As a reward, Justin will get four days holiday in Thailand after Aaron moves on to Australia on March 9.
