Those who were there and their families spoke up from day one. Officially the truth has been out there for years. If taking his knighthood meant anything it would be long gone. I say let him keep it, show the world exactly what these trinkets represent.

Predictably two of the iPaper’s four experts are mouth frothing “they’re all going on foreign holidays and in Wetherspoon’s every day” types. Because you have got to have “balance”. Just in case two experts not being like that is seen as too soft, the whole thing is framed like this - disgraceful.
With around £65bn currently being spent on health and disability benefits, there is a debate about mental health benefits being too generous. Here are the verdicts of The i Paper’s experts

This is like me & Matt Hancock. I don’t remember him but someone in the year above, his year, stole my ball, chucked it around & I got it back by booting one of that year in the lower back. There’s a one in 60 chance it was him. It was a boys’ school so no idea where he learned to talk to girls.
I am embarrassed to have gone to the same school as crank anti-vaccine doctor Andrew Wakefield but I can't tell anyone because I am more embarrassed that I went to a private school.

Inadvertently (ish) sparked a Friday night football debate in another place. People can think what they want of course but it seems pretty clear to me that Welsh football needs to use that slot wherever practical. Confirmation bias on my part to use this as supporting evidence but there is more!

Because it is an excellent supporting tool, especially vocab builder. But if you use it as your only tool then you have only taken part in one aspect of learning. Sort of feel that quite a lot of people wilfully misunderstand what it is supposed to do.
My father has a 1200+ day Spanish streak on Duolingo. We went on holiday to Spain recently and he could hardly string two sentences together. What the fuck is the point of that app?

It's that biennial time where I am taken back to those childhood days when I would write a load of countries on little bits of paper and do my own fake World Cup draw. Because we knew how to make our own fun in those days.

Is this even possible? I’m reminded of the times you would read angry letters about English cricket in the 90s when people would suggest Kim Barnett or Geoff Boycott becoming non-playing captain, as if such a thing was ever on.

On a day like today you miss strong local radio. Planned on rugby on the screen and crossed my fingers that the northern Radio Wales feed had football, but that’s rugby too. Anything online breaks licensing rules for reasons I don’t understand (unless you’re paying). Where’s Marcher Sound 🤣 #wxmafc

One of this year’s highlights was finally seeing Girl Ray at Focus Wales. The only downside being I saw my first band of the day at 2.45 and they were on at half 10 so I was in the red zone by then - must manage that better next year.
Girl Ray released Girl on this day in 2019 (22 November 2019). You can replay the listening party (no_196) here:

I once wrote, years ago and in another place, that I will always believe there are two things that have the ability to save us, no matter how disappointing they may temporarily become: pop music, and the Labour Party.
Well, at least there's still pop music.

If you’re waiting for #wxmafc to get back to the Rock, I can confirm that the floodlights are bright, the pitch seems fine, but there isn’t a radical change to the experience there. Is it too much to hope they’ll open the bar again?

You can’t assume Bosnia just roll out of the way, but Italy 🤦 I would suggest that Wales haven’t beaten a team of that standing that isn’t called Belgium since, err, 2002 Italy 🤣 can’t grumble about home draws but that’s a tricky path indeed.

No but…file alongside Holiday by Pullover as songs I got totally obsessed with via their “taped off the radio” version and then - did they just disappear off the face of the earth?
30 years ago today Livingstone released their debut single “Good Intentions”.

Never forget, your social media is your out pipe, your form of self expression, and if you follow individuals and don’t understand that they discuss the stuff they like or are interested in, it is you that doesn’t get social media and not them.
It's coming to that time of year when people post their Spotify Wrapped on Social Media. So it's time to remind everyone, that nobody on Social Media gives a shit about your Spotify Wrapped.

I’ve been a slightly dismal voice on what I have considered to be a Bellamy era to date that has been a bit Emperor’s New Clothes. Well…that was a night that lived up to the hype. It’s going to get harder to make the World Cup, but if that’s in the locker then life’s good #walmkd
