World of Chig   

1.9.06
I'm off to Cardiff!



Another weekend, another country, as Chig’s ‘three festivals in three countries on three consecutive weekends’ tour comes to an end. Edinburgh Festival two weekends ago and Manchester Pride last weekend were both superb. So let’s ask my showbiz wife, Nicki French, on stage four days ago in Manchester, how many weekends are left in this Summer’s UK Pride/Mardi Gras calendar?



That’s right Nicki, just the one. Which means it must be time to see you again tomorrow, for the second time in a week, this time at the [deep breath] Lesbiaid a Hoywon Caerdydd – Cymru 2006. Or the Cardiff-Wales Mardi Gras, rounding off the Summer season. Luckily, the gay rugby tournament is on again tomorrow (10am, Blackweir Park). Unluckily, the weather forecast is for rain. Luckily, that's what the weather forecast was for last weekend in Manchester, and it was mainly wrong, so let's just see.

Hang on a minute. I've just taken a closer look at my gay Wales badge. Look what it says around the edge:



Wales is, apparently, ‘not suitable for small children’. Who knew?

So, see you from tonight until Monday in Cardiff...but don’t bring the kids.

Now then, where the hell am I going to watch tomorrow's England v. Andorra match, in gay Wales?
