Odd, very odd, a Welshman who doesn't want to be the lead tenor.
There's nothing that can beat a good Welsh choir mind...

Comment on that video...!
In the early 1980s I joined many other British lands working in a steelworks, just a few miles from the battle site. During down time the Zulu lads would form a line across the workshop, sing and dance, working themselves up, and the suddenly with a shout of “Zulu” they would change us armed with steel bars or brush handles. The object of the game was to try to stand still, without taking a step back. I don’t think any of us ever managed it. Dispite that we challenged them to a rematch of rookes drift. Both side equally armed with broom handles. This time it was a Zulu victory. Followed by beer drinking through broken teeth and busted ribs. We all leaned to love the Zulus, they have a very British sense of humour. We broke all the apartheid rules, such as eating in the blacks only mess room, just to spend more time with them.
A steel works near Rorke's Drift? Still he has one thing right, there is truly nothing more frightening than a drunken Zulu on a Friday night with access to his fighting sticks...
The best damned project manager I ever worked with was a Zulu gentleman while installing a computer system at what once was the verkrampte Afrikaans dominated Sanlam insurance giant.
