I heard that Welsh women are frugal in the market, pious in chapel and rampant in bed....hmmm, drop the middle one and thats me. 
Also I think some welsh accents sound better speaking english then the english. All about pronunciation methinks.

Put it in perspective. Large parts of Ireland and Scotland have been English speaking for much longer than Wales - we have only been a majority English speaking country for 150 yrs if that.
Which brings me to another Welsh characteristic - we're stubborn buggers who've fought to keep our culture and I think other nations in the Brit isles envy us that.

What exactly does a Welsh accent sound like??

Like Richard Burton. Like the Treorchy Male Voice Choir. Like butter across a freshly baked Welsh cake. Like Slack Blodwyn from Tiger Bay after six pints of SA. Like a warm summer breeze on the slopes of Snowdon. Like Shirley on a Vegas encore. Like Tom's Green Green Grass. Like the sound of the onion bag bulging as Cardiff surge into the FA Cup Final.
Fantastic bump, by the way.

Like a boss.
The Welsh? A bit simple, but very sweet.

Give me a few beers and it apparently starts to come back, like, isn't it mon.
Depends where you are I suppose. Is there anywhere with such a variety within a few miles? The Bangor Ayes and Caernarfon conts can tell each other apart. Likewise a Splotthead and a Valleys Commando. And then there's single villages that have their own accents and words - like Rhosllannerchrugog.

I thought you didn't know what a Welsh accent sounded like?
That was really quick.
I looked it up on Wikipedia.
Wiki is a dork's best friend.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Butter on Welsh cakes is just so wrong!

i did actually, but it's mostly just full of words like dipthong, alveolar trill, yod-dropping etc. Things only Henry Higgins would get.
I'm not quite dorky enough for that yet.

They sound like a sharp people if they can tell the difference.

Wrecsam - think of Mark Hughes's lovely soft accent (unlike his football)
