Entertaining. Indefatigable. Bloody-minded, hard as nails (well, obviously there is an obstructed view).
When Mark Williams (pictured) won the World Snooker Championship in 2018, he stripped off for the ensuing press conference, as he had promised to do.
This year, he has promised to run naked down the M4 if he wins.
Given that he’s 51, perhaps he should borrow Andy Powell’s golf buggy instead.
But this is why Welsh rugby can and will rise above their current crisis, and hopefully with all four regions somehow surviving the mess. Welsh sides are currently Irish teams’ banana peels in the URC.
While full houses at Welsh stadia have been a rarity in recent years, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau sung with full heart at the Millenium Stadium still manages to bring a bit of unexplained grit to the eyes of this non-Welsh person (well, full disclosure: I had a half-Welsh granny).
And, to add the icing to the cake, the Welsh don’t vote for Tories. Hopefully they won’t vote for the even more repulsive Reform in May either.
Boooo! I got 962.

I believe my knowledge of coding is what the Scots would call glaikit, which I’m reliably informed translates into something like stupidity, unawareness, and ignorance. Something I think the Lions management team may well be experiencing as they talk up our chances against Leinster this weekend.

Anybody see the pic of Tony Blair on the Graun? Looks like Vince McMahon’s slightly pathetic brother, going pick me! pick me! Very Trumpesque sort of look.

Don’t think the Map thing will get any easier than today’s one. 985 for me, expecting someone to beat it though.

@BB – It was hard to avoid a high score really. I was a bit disappointed I didn’t quite get Sydney bang on or get a touch closer to Minneapolis as it was becoming pretty obvious I will never do better on this game. Jamaica is small enough that if you know which island it is you can’t go far wrong and Edinburgh should be 100% for all of us. Knowing that Izmir was Smyrna meant I couldn’t miss by much with that either.
My other scores have been a bit disappointing, mainly because I haven’t much clue at all about China.

I tried the map thing, but twice I got caught by clicking when I was only trying to rotate or zoom in. Fortunately my accidental clicks weren’t tooooo far away, but it was irritating nonetheless.
