Yes, did dig - that is what made it truly a 'beauty'.

Didn't find the bit about Dylan - but our resident infomaniac sho nuff did !!! *w*

Thank you, Again - it is a wonderful story about a mighty creation from the Guy upstairs.

I selected that picture for you, mon. As you know, I like to illustrate my posts and there were a number of Swansea images available, but when I saw the Swansea Jack memorial it just had to be the one.

It's actually quite a story. Did you follow up at all? My infomania kicked in and I dug deeper. The heroic dog is legendary in Swansea.

I knew a man, his brain was so small,
He couldn't think of nothing at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip that
When you say Dylan, he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas,
Whoever he was.

The man ain't got no culture,
But it's alright, ma,
Everybody must get stoned.

Huh? Swansea is the birthplace of Dylan Thomas.
