Is anyone else not fussed about Wales's progress in the Euros?

Not fussed at all. Nothing against Wales or Welsh people, I just find their team weak and poor to watch at this level. Yes, they did well in the previous competition, but so did Iceland 🤦🏻♂️🤯… Have no ancestral links whatsoever, so probably explains the apathy.0

Loads of good Turkish, Greek and middle Eastern restaurants in London - probably my favourite food. As you say the layered doner kebabs are okay but the other ones just look revolting.Big_Bad_World said:
Re doner, it depends on which shop you go to. Most buy their elephants foot from wholesalers and that's a no-no. Some, very few and far between, make up and layer their own with lamb shoulder. Hard to find those places these day, though.Lordflashheart said:

Of course we are not the only nation who venerate St George - there are loads of others - given the treatment of England fans and English club fans when attending matches in Turkey, I am all for a Wales win
I also like rarebit, but like kebabs more.
Maybe I put too much weight on the religious blah-blah and should have just gone with the kebab and rarebit comparison. Reckon more would be with me by now if I had
Socuk I can just about accept, but kebabs - come on - disgusting 🤮
If you're not familiar with proper Turkish kebabs then try and sample a Cag kebab, Testi kebab or any of those listed here:

On the subject of Socuk, absolutely stupendous with fried eggs and cheese, in a toasted roll/sub.
Never been to Turkey, so can’t comment on your list (apart from Socuk, which I have had over here at a friends house)
If you can recommend a decent UK Turkish restaurant, I will give it a go
Re Turkish retaurants, take your pick:

http://www.lokkanta.co.uk/
https://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/londons-best-turkish-restaurants
Lokkanta looks really good.
Will give midpoint a go as it's local to me.1 -

Local Turkish place does fantastic kebabs and I can vouch that Turkish Kebabs are a million times nicer than doner kebabs. 2 -

Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Burton, Dylan Thomas, Charlotte Church, your boys will take one hell of a beating1

I am certainly fussed.
They should fuck off and die from the competion ASAP!0 -
It's not only the Welsh for me, as soon as England go belly up I'm out, give me Charlton any day of the week.0
-
the Welsh ?, brave lil country that resents big brother England .. for me ?, all the best to my lil bro Cymru ..0
-
Charlton, Palace and Millwall are all (roughly) the same size with similar (ish) histories. Wales is a tiny country, with a tiny population, plus (to make a massive generalisation) they seem quite sound and the ones I know are a good laugh. So for me it’s not the same.The_Organiser said:Turkey vs Wales... blimey there is no positive outcome there, so draw hopefully. Supporting Wales/Scotland is akin to supporting Millwall/Palace for me - unthinkable. But Turkey is Turkey, like Celtic are Celtic for example. Tricky stuff.1 -

Do know the words properly, or do you do John Redwood style attempts at phonetically replicating it with no clue what you're singing?KBslittlesis said:My husband is Welsh, my best friend is Welsh.
No brainer, c’mon Turkey 😜😜😜
Seriously I’m right behind them (unless they’re playing England obvs) & will be joining in with the anthem 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

Can't support Wales after they celebrated our defeat to Iceland.

I had to learn it phonetically (whilst touring Vietnam, it passed the time on the bus lol) mainly because it’s such a tough language to get your English head around.
But having been married to a Welsh speaker for 26yrs I do understand a lot of the language & when my in laws all get together I can follow the conversation & can say a few bits.
So when I sing it I do know what I’m singing & Hubby says for an Anglo Irish bird I don’t do it too badly 😜😜😜😂😂😂1 -
Surely it makes more sense to want your closest neighbours to do badly than to want to cheer them on ?
Who here would rather Millwall/Palace won when playing Barnsley/Everton just because they are close to us.
I am definitely fussed by Wales' progress and hope they crash and burn.1 -

The lamb chops at Midpoint are amazing. I love that place. Rather off topic...1

That’s fair enough, but I’ve been present at more than enough fixtures between the two to have a much different perspective. I’d rather Scotland win than Wales and that’s saying something.Uboat said:

This hour of cack about Wales before the game is driving me nuts.2

I've got a slight bit of Welsh ancestry but with respect to those family members, it doesn't mean anything to me. After the way they celebrated England's defeat against Iceland, I will be tuning in, cheering for Turkey and very much hopeful of them all but being eliminated 1

Does it make sense? Why? In other parts of Europe neighbours seem to get on very well and I envy that. Our relationship with our neighbours is of course coloured by centuries of history, but let’s not go there. I just can’t buy into the ‘they hate us so I hate them back’ argument. Rise above it.MrOneLung said:Surely it makes more sense to want your closest neighbours to do badly than to want to cheer them on ?

I didn’t suggest all other countries loved each other. Presumably you understood that.MrOneLung said:Uboat said:

I would suggest most of the European countries have a strong rivalry with one or more of their neighbours2
