Thank you Caerphilly. Hope not hate.

Or they start a band.

Exactly. The one who when a memory crops up you don't think 'what are they up to' it's more 'I wonder if they're still alive'. Lights that burn bright, and fast. Imagine Eddie as a kid?

It looks like an AI hallucination.

That laugh he does when he makes Renee snot rocket around 3 mins from the end, he's just an adorable menace.

Superb. He's a treasure.

Make it worth your time (and money). This one's got Ed Campbell formerly of PoliticsJoe voxpops in it too. What more could you want?

Prepping lectures and listening to a couple of Michael Sheen lectures from 2017. If you want insight on Wales, how it sees itself, and the values needed to move forward, together: 1) www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbVd..., and 2) youtu.be/Tj2-kMXenk8?....

Lessons from being online since 1995

1. Brandolini's law:
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

2. Chill before serving. (Mine)

3. It's irony when the actor or observer is "confidently unaware."

4. On the Media's rules.

Some lovely ad placement this week 'holy fucking shit... this podcast is brought to you by the electric Porsche Macan'...

What would their pub quiz team be called?

Cardiff is around about what it was last time for the Collision / Dynamite double header and about 70-80 less than a recent house show by the other lot. Might buy in presale or wait and see if dynamic pricing works in my favour!

Feels a bit mean to enter a child into Crufts...

New polling Wales!

Headlines:
- The Tories could be totally wiped out.
- Reform/Plaid still battling for 1st
- Labour 3rd
- Still seemingly impossible for Reform to for a government with this maths.

As an aside, Aneurin is a Welsh name, and is pronounced 'uh nai ruhn'. One of the most notable holders of the name was Nye Bevan founder of the glorious NHS.

Reform UK and Plaid Cymru vie for gains in Labour stronghold of Wales Plummeting support for Keir Starmer’s party points to impact of some policies that have proven highly unpopular

@jaclarner.bsky.social from the Welsh Election Study: “Looking at the areas now voting Reform, they’re the same areas that always voted Labour, and it’s very easy to just make the logical mistake to assume it’s the same people doing it. That isn’t what we see” #Senedd26

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!

They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.

This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.

It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.
