I predict a traumatically bad and painful “Diweddariad Carfan” tomorrow morning. I’m glad I’m no longer on the other place which i imagine is handling the sight of this starting XI awfully well…

A very strong starting XI (for us) considering its a friendly, and my pessimistic brain predicts everyone be injured for the important match on monday. bah.

Titanic. Bearing in mind The Terminator and Aliens are in my top 5 movies of all time, you’d imagine I’d be willing to give it go for Cameronian reasons but the desire is below zero.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Dydd James Bond Hapus. #HappyJamesBondDay

Me avec Elliot Carvers tower in Bangkok from TND (doubling for Saigon)

Me holding a wooden spoon with Timothy Dalton’s face on it, bequeathed on my 40th. Best present ever.

Me by the big wheel at Prater Vienna from The Living Daylights. And the Third Man obvs. But mostly The Living Daylights.

Me outside the building in Vienna opposite the Opera House where Timothy Dalton doesn’t use his sniper rifle on Kara Milovy

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep.

1) Bond films
2) Snakes
3) Mark Clattenburg disgracefully not giving us a penalty in the derby in 2007.

Jason Morgan in Golwg on an S4C interview with Reform spokesperson Llŷr Powell:

“Are you worried about Welsh [speaking] communities?”
Llŷr: “Well, no.”
“Is protecting Welsh language culture not going to be on the agenda?”
Llŷr: “No.”

Also, Morgan’s closing paragraph - ouch!

“Llŷr Powell is fully comfortable betrating his nation and language by being in a racist English nationalist party and on the extreme far right. The tale of Dic Siôn Dafydd is alive and well.”

As an Everton fan I’m pleased we’ve made another signing. As a Welshman, I wish he’d signed for Carmarthen Town.

The Toffee Blues @evertonnewsfeed.bsky.social · Sep 1

🚨Everton are getting closer to completing a deal for Merlin Röhl.

As things stand he’s going to be the only addition to the squad. David Moyes wanted to sign a defender but no suitable deals can be done
