    White Wine

    As happens occasionally through her work my missus got gifted a bottle of wine recently. I was straight onto the Vivino app to see whether it was worth hanging onto. £130 a bottle. Lordy. I proudly announced this to some guests who burst out laughing. "We've seen that for about eight quid in...

    The "Things that are worth saying but are not important enough to have their own Thread" Thread

    Any fans of Belgian beer on here? I've a cupboard full of the stuff and am generally blown away by the quality. But today I tried this. It was only bottled in May. Google describes it as "unique" and "slightly sweet". But it is so cheek-suckingly dry I'm having a hard time drinking it...

    NFL 2024

    I'm currently watching a replay of Sunday's Raiders@Bengals match. It's like watching a highlights reel of the worst of the Raiders 1986-2024. Why do I put myself through this?

    Jon Anderson

    Just to give a different perspective to the Yes/No (did you see what I did there? Oh never mind) debate. When I was at school there were some serious Yes fans knocking about. The trouble was that they were know it all tw@ts, meaning I instinctively hated Yes. Decades later I got cajoled into...

    Jon Anderson

    As I age I'm perhaps becoming more tolerant of his ethereal vocals, though in my youth I regarded him as the weak link in that band. I felt his voice was at least an octave too high to be a rock singer. Plus his near-constant waving at the audience was bewilderingly cheesy. Eighty, though...

    21st October 1966 - 09.13 am ... ABERFAN

    A friend a bit older than me remembers being at her school that day and having crying parents bursting into the classroom to take their children home.

    Netflix

    I'm enjoying a month's free access to Paramount+ as a result of buying a case of Staropramen. The series "A Gentleman in Moscow" starring Ewan Macgregor has really been very good. It - and I mean this in a positive way - ambles along at a gentle pace, and paints a picture of life in Russia in...

    Recycling Centre

    There's a non-recyclable trailer just a few yards from the mini roundabout. I lob stuff in there. No one has ever challenged me. When I say "I" and "me" I actually mean other people. The total bastards.

    England's Winter Tour Of Test Cricket ...

    There's something desperately sad about an international sporting event in such a sparsely populated stadium. General admission on day 3 is 14 pence. The country has got its problems of course but I wonder if people's decision to go/not go is actually an economic one.

    That's Handy Wynne

    Oh man. The law of close proximity. I bet most of us have crushed on someone when we've been propelled into an intense period of working together. I'd be a babbling wreck if I had a sexy dancer writhing against me for hours on end (and yes, Johannes, I'm including you in this). But Wynn, for...

    There's a Swansea boy in the Big Brother house

    Heh. Seems very likeable. He'll probably do well.

    Playing it out from the back.

    Presumably it's the Huw Jenkins Effect as they're trying the same ploy at Newport. Five League 2 duffers all playing hospital passes to one another. For a laugh someone should record the crowd's expressions. It'd be like filming the first people to watch Friday the 13th.

    Favorite cereal 😋

    I doubted I could ever cope without cereal for breakfast but a few years back I went on a health kick thing. No brekkies, just one black coffee. My bottom lip was out for sure. (I'm an office worker so I guess refuelling isn't as important as if I had a physical job). After two weeks of this...

    XL Bullies

    That's grim. Ours gets into a terrible state each time the smoke alarm battery warning starts chirping. It's pathetic to see her. Thankfully it's an infrequent occurrence. I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I've heard folks talking about thunder jackets (a sort of...

    XL Bullies

    Rubbish day for the dog, unless he's local to the area.

    Night Sleeper

    Yeah, I'm really enjoying Brassic on Sky. It's funny, with some great characters.

    Glamorgan 2024 Season ...

    I haven't seen him face a delivery yet, though admittedly he's not faced many, but what's the problem with Tribe? Is his technique fundamentally flawed? Is he getting out to an uncanny series of jaffas? It's getting painful.

    Pagers exploding simultaneously in Lebanon...

    Astonishing. Hezbollah apparently consider pagers a more secure means of communicating than mobile phones. This is next level scary, though. Whatever next?

    Christmas Dinner 2024

    Many years back we did Christmas in Tampa. It was so lovely and stress* free. *parent 😂 The one blot on the landscape was that I'd not pre-booked Christmas dinner anywhere, so I was pretty nervous walking up to a nice-looking restaurant and asking for a table. But they had plenty of free...

    Swansea Fringe 3rd-5th October 2024

    Bad start. They've mis-spelled Margo Thirlwell's name on the flyer (Saves himself from a zero thread <fist pump>).
