Reminded myself how to play Sandstorm on guitar, so not a completely wasted evening.

I'm doing something most unusual: drinking in a 'Spoons. Every time I see a man in black shorts, a black hoodie, and a black baseball cap I find myself wondering if they've just come from a fascist rally. #everydayfascism

By my reckoning there was a deliberate knock-on on about 76 mins, so if anything Australia should have been down to 10. #AUSvRSA

After two weeks in Spain I'm now of the opinion that there is no point in drinking coffee that doesn't have orujo in. It's just so disappointing.

The only benefit of Brexit I ever identified was that I quite liked getting stamps in my passport. Now I don't even have that. Thanks Dave.

Learning how much the Spanish love crisps, but only if they're plain. Perhaps the odd bag of olive oil flavoured, but I'd say about 95% plain. Had expected a lot more paprika out here tbh.

Just finished Don Quixote. Turns out the second book is just a massive fuck you to the bloke that tried to rip off his earlier work.

People are always trying to entice introverts out of their comfort zone and "let their hair down" a little. Why doesn't anyone ever ask extroverts to calm down and shut the fuck up for a few minutes?

Why is that when going through airport security when I get to the scanners I'm always stuck behind a group of people who've never been to an airport before. Bag, coat, belt, pockets. Honestly, surrounded by cretins.

So we're partially to blame for the existence of Country music? I think we need an immediate Welsh Gov public apology, possibly a truth and reconciliation commission chaired by UNESCO. A buy-back scheme for lap steel guitars?

(1/3) WRU reportedly rejecting the Indigo academy proposal because they oppose a 'pay-to-play' model. It's a principled decision. No young player should be excluded from sport because of their parents income.

Picked this up at a charity shop last week. Of the 150 experiences, I've ticked off 17.5. So some work to do, but one of them is to drink beer in DPRK, which can fuck right off.

Currently suffering a totally unexpected attack of what I think is sciatica. NHS website says that paracetamol is useless, ibuprofen is unlikely to work, but codeine would help. Haven't got any, so making do with twelve cans of Proper Job (5.5% abv).

On my own at the pub, found a free chair at a table with three senile delinquents. Overheard "...and he was wanking into the fucking coffin!" Currently straining to hear their entire conversation because I would love to write about it later.

Big fan of Barti Ddu. A few of us would regularly polish off a bottle of it in The Castle Hotel in Aber. Probably kept them going through those early days actually. Not saying that I should get some sort of thanks, but not saying that I shouldn't.

U&Drama was showing Allo Allo tonight. Beats the shit out of Silent Witness, but unless I've been laughing inappropriately at a serious drama about the Nazi occupation of France, I think it might have been miscategorised.

I missed #WALvRSA because I completely cocked up the KO times. From what I'm reading, absentmindedly wandering around my local Lidl was probably a blessing in disguise. They now sell orange wine.

Having watched another excellent video, I can't tell if @squidgerugby.bsky.social is taking the piss about AOB (as we're now calling him). I for one still struggle to believe that in a squad light on proper fullbacks, Tandy is still overlooking the best in Wales, who can act as second playmaker.

Adam Beard was a first choice lock under Gatland (2019 GS), Pivac (2021 champs), Gatland again, and Tandy. He was first choice at the O's, now a regular starter at Montpellier who finished only 4 points below TOULOUSE! in the Top14. (1/2)

I've just been in two all time great pubs in the space of an hour:The Jenny Lind, and the First In Last Out. Both in Hastings (obviously they'll be in the same place) and now I'm thinking of moving here.

Excellent article, the area is beautiful, with great pubs. One massive ommission from the article though - just down the road is the National Cider Collection, which is well worth a visit.

Quite surprised to see mostly uncritical tributes to Humphrey Smith on most beer accounts today. So for balance, he once evicted the couple running one of his pubs for the crime of not serving his favourite pudding.
