A press release arrives from Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, which is hosting the boxing match between Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins on Sunday.
Rivalry between Welsh and American fans is such that the organisers have felt compelled (perhaps in the interests of drumming up a bit of publicity) to separate them into two seating areas and provide them with different menus for the night.
A special American and Welsh menu has been devised in honour of the boxers' nationalities - with the Americans being offered hotdogs and Budweiser and the Welsh tucking into Welsh Rarebit and Guinness.
I spot a problem. Isn't welsh rarebit an English dish, so called as a snide aside at the poverty of those across the boarder, unable to afford meat? And isn't Guinness Irish?
In case you're worried that this post isn't worthy of LiS, those expected, apparently, include Sylvester Stallone, Brad Pitt, Whitney Houston, Bruce Willis, Matthew Reese, Michael J Fox, Lennox Lewis, Brandy, Charlie Sheen, James Belushi, Cat Deeley, Sugar Ray Leonard, Rob Schneider, Luke Perry, Simon Cowell, Pete Sampras and Max Beesley, Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Ion Gruffud.
Cheese on toast all round.
