A couple of points.

1, Do people not understand irony? Chris said he was sick of people texting in to tell him Aled's facts were wrong.

2, I would love to hear Aled's Guide to Iran, no that would be funny.

Discuss.

Yeah but it's not meant to be 100% correct... a bit like Tedious Link really.

i dont think theyre as funny as his guides to dundee because they were blatantly taking the piss.
these ones can be percieved to be factual by some idiots and are just not as funny because of it.
theres not enough mis-pronunciation or blatantly wrong facts!

Only really stupid people could perceive them as being factual but perhaps that's half his audience so they should have a rethink 8O

I don't get it. The 'facts' are all wrong.

Yeah, cos see like I've actually been to Poland and I didn't see one polar bear while I ws their. I'm thinking that maybe Aled isn't right on some of these, it's almost like he's just making it all up...Nah!

It's a shame he sticks to the facts as much as he does. His guides to Dundee were genius. I laughed my arse off at the Poland Bears, and when he was talking about America in a way like he'd never heard of the place. Fab Radio. there was a hint in Thursday's show that Dave writes some of it, after the "America" guide... (Was that Thursday? Think so)

I think it was more than a hint, it was more Moyles actually stating that Dave wrote it... Dave does do most of the writing anyways doesn't he?

I thought the one about Cameroon was great. Talking about them like they're ragamuffins. I also looked up Cameroon on google earth (it's free by the way). And the country looks marvelous.

Just Warsaw i'm afraid, stayed with some friends for a weekend.

Loved it, went to a lot of bars, drank a lot of cheap beer, threw up in the street, forgot most of what went on, got suprised when I saw the photo's I'd taken and still didn't see any Poland bears....

But from what I can remember it's a great place.

I heard one of these guides to the world cup nations, and most of the facts are not correct. You'd think they would have the resources to hire good researchers, but I don't blame allled because he only rads what the researchers give him

I think it`s shocking. If he even bothered to go to Google (or even Google Earth, which is completely free, and has Paris and Rome and London and Ian Rush and Botswana and Kangaroos and The Justified Ancients of Mummu), he`d have learned more about the country. I think I`ll send him a link to the CIA fact database, so he can be more on-target from now on. Did I mention that Google Earth was free? And shows hippos?
