Happy Birthday Cardiff - One Hundred Years Old Today
Well, let's all have a singalong - my home town is officially 100 years old today. There should be some fireworks tonight, Tia's excited about it. Its been an amazing hundred years.
I was never in school for history, but from what I remember, legend has it the city became a city after a great battle. 100 years ago, Prince Arthur of Bute Park holed up in Cardiff Castle as the invading Swansea Jack's Army tried to take control of the city. It fell to the original Cardiff City Soul Crew to beat them back.
This was back in the days before they spoke Welsh in Cardiff, and the Swansea Jacks Army came to make them speak Welsh so as they could be proper Welsh people. Cardiff's Soul Crew, led by Prince Arthur ended up fighting nail and tooth like them yobbos at the start of Gangs In New York, where Joe Pisces beats them all up with the baseball bats like.
There was no Stanley Knives back then so they had to fight each other with cudgels and armour. If you look closely at the walls of Cardiff Castle you can still see the bloodstains.
The Swansea Jacks Army was beaten back to the netherworld and the people of Cardiff were free to speak their native tongue of English. The great victory came at a cost. The leader of the Jacks cast a spell on the Soul Crew that made all their pet animals turn to stone.
To celebrate Cardiff granted itself city status and to pay tribute to the animals of the Soul Crew they was all mounted on the wall of Cardiff Castle where the sit, watching out for people from Swansea to this very day. This is why Caridff fans hate Swansea fans to this very day.
Its a sad story, and all the more ironic given the fact that now 90% of the population of Llandaff and Pontcanna in Cardiff speak Welsh as their first language, in it!
Happy Birthday Cardiff! Me and Ashanti will be out later to gives you some bumps. And I'm not saying where, for a reason.

For your information, yes, most of Cardiff was in England, as was the whole of Newport. And England was a part of Russia when the vikings invaded.
