For this product of two Welsh grandmothers, a Valleys-born mother, a Wales golf club member and regular visitor to the land of dragons, today is a day of positivity and daydreaming of success for Wales’ teams and travelling through its glorious landscapes πŸ‰

Was that the night Arsenal lost the league?

Two up against weak Wolves yet they couldn’t close it out. City’s fragility might be what saves them, yet Gunners must rediscover winning ways fast if they’re to summit the mountain in May.

Great to have Silent Witness back, with an interesting storyline. An historic series that brings warmth to these cold winter nights 😊

Hands down, the Night Manager is one of the greats.

US drama thinks it leads, but the world does better….when we really want to πŸ’―πŸ“Ί

Series 2 delivered like few others.

AmΓ©rica Latina, iconic Le CarrΓ© espionage, bisexuality, PIs, jungle hideouts, cocaine, rebel armies, Cartagena, double agency, captivating characters, a seductress, rogue spies, the worst people, a Bond villain and…Mama Colombia herself πŸ’›πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΄

The Night Manager had one of drama’s great finishes. It really was one you’ll never forget.

The cliffhanger of hangers 😜

Series 3? I’m not sure. Too many questions…but really, were there? Maybe like Line of Duty, perhaps TNM’s allegory is the bad guys win πŸ˜”

A game that ended in tears, with the big moment of KonatΓ© scoring on his return after losing his father.

Deeply poignant, and something we can all relate to β™₯️

Well done Liverpool smashing the hateful Saudis. It’s a shame that evil regime was allowed to take over such a fine club.

The day must come when this dark money is kicked outta our country forever. No excuses, it all must go πŸ₯Ύ

The US’s NATO allies have done so much to support America the last half a century, despite its never-ending wars.

The least they deserve is basic respect, not betrayal. 2/

Trump’s comments about our country’s heroic troops were simply disgraceful.

Once again the mask slipped. Once again the man who plumbs the depths found a new trench in the Pacific to dig. 1/

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Commiserations to Morocco. Still, the right team won in the end.

If you shatter the legend Salah’s dreams, you better win the big one. So the Lions proved 🦁

Well done Senegal, richly deserved. Robbed of a triumph late in normal time but back the Lions came to prevail πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡³

A world class winner in extra time from Pape Gueye downed Morocco after huge controversy over a wrongly denied late winner and a contentious penalty.

Post-parody, post-satire, post-NATO?

Can the world get ever more crazy after the President of the United States levies tariffs on allies until they allow him to annex NATO territory? 🀯

The depth of depravity this regime is willing to plumb is unlike few others in the modern western world.

Utterly without a moral conscience.

The Night Manager in wondrous Colombia is something special πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΄

Sultry acting, bisexuality, vivid colours, plot twists, luscious jungle, iconic cities. And an old friend of mine in the cast.

Look forward to next Sunday’s episode of this national tv moment πŸ“Ί

This is the moment we realise they’re going to lose.

Hubris is the height of overconfidence and history tells us you never win after this.
