It being OCR* week, this is a very good and timely article by my friend Paul on how to deal with rejection as a screenwriter. His point that there should be more bald Welsh writers in the industry also hits the mark...

Stirring stuff from Trump.

Completely agree. He was a poet. I never thought Bill McLaren would be matched, but Eddie managed it. Not sure we’ll see that quality again. 😞

We were regularly beating Scotland and Ireland throughout that period so were around 6th or 7th in the world, as opposed to a clear and deserved 12th now. But yes, your point stands, Welsh rugby isn’t dead, just very, very ill!

I agree we’ll be back one day, but we’ve never actually been this low. This is, by a country mile, worse than anything in the 1990’s.

The cognitive dissonance of saying the Welsh boys left it all out there and played commendably in a 68-14 home defeat.

But they really did.

How are England winning these matches when they are clearly second best? Only one man will be able to find out…

Great first page, lots of energy and comedic tone set. Deffo makes you want more. Is it a completed feature? Pilot?

The title and trailer didn’t fill me with hope, but ep.1 of #PrimeTarget has been a huge surprise. Superb television on all levels!

This is a genuine tweet from yesterday morning US time, about how Trump will blame DEI when crashes start happening.

A day of two managers. Potter (who I like, btw) has 'pragmatism and a commitment to flexibility' whereas David Moyes 'is a risk, as he doesn't have a defined approach' .

Then, the gloriously reductive... 'David Moyes' claim to fame is that he managed Paul Gascoigne 22 years ago'.

Take a bow, son!

Pop back to Twitter for one minute and I'm bombarded by ads for hair-loss treatments. I guess the #manosphere thinks us baldies are all secretly praying for a 'cure'?

F**k that, I love being bald. Besides, when I HAD hair it was totally shit!

Beautiful film. Loved how Talia was almost guiding her father towards moving on. Couldn’t help think her mum was doing it through her! ❤️

Heartbreaking to see the devastation in #LosAngeles. Hellish, mind-blowing stuff.

Hope you are safe and can rebuild your lives and communities quickly ❤️

Can't wait to open this! Biggest change for my young eyes was going from a fast defence to a slow defence due to a) Selling Stevens and replacing him with a man carrying a wardrobe on his back b) Not replacing Rats when he came back from injury slow (Fergie would have). Now we were 20 yards deeper.
