I've often said that some strange stuff happens in my part of the world. Given the fact that the roads are full of potholes and full of boy racers, the following story seems reckless in the extreme. Basically, two boys clung to the back of a bus for several miles. What makes the story so gloriously Welsh however, is the breathless reporting on the ICWales site :

"FOOTAGE of two teenagers clinging to the back of a bus hurtling through the South Wales Valleys was today removed from the internet.

The boys, aged between 13 and 15, could be seen putting themselves in danger on the back of the number 100 bus between Tonteg and Pontypridd."

Hurtling? Well, maybe. I've yet to see a bus up here do anything other than trundle, the roads are too narrow. And I just loved the precision of the Bus number and its route (note - anyone hanging on a bus coming from TOnteg would do well to invest in a parachute...)

But oh, what a stupid thing to do.
