Yes, this is about cliches. But I am actually currently in Texas (this is my first visit to the US) and there are lots of churches and Mexican food is very popular. This isn't a disparagement, just an observation. Everybody I have met has been great.
I'm in Denton, Texas. I've been to a conference and given a paper on postcolonialism in Welsh literature. Tomorrow I'm giving a lecture on twentieth century Welsh poetry at the University of North Texas. America is great, although I keep looking the wrong way for cars and nearly getting run over.
Today I hope to see the schoolbook depository and the grassy knoll, and so fulfil my dreams.
Shut up Nicholas Jones. That isn't your lifelong dream. Your lifelong dream is (a) to make every single person in the world apologise to the Welsh for God knows what, and (b) to make every single person in the world live in a terraced house.
I actually saw the depository and the knoll today, and it was amazing.
Nobody needs to apologise to the Welsh, except perhaps Llywelyn the Last for being killed and Henry VII for selling out to the English. Oh, and Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill (for sending in the troops to Tonypandy in 1910), the Normans, Henry V, etc.
Everyone should live in a terraced house, because it's fun to drag the rubbish right through the lounge from the back yard to the street every week.

My lifelong dream is World Peace.
