    Awful news. Seems unreal to be losing Tosh’s team. Great clubman and servant in some good and dark times RIP Dud

    A dump of a city??

    To be frank the centre/shopping area of affluent Bristol is a hole except Cabot Circus. The restaurants and nightlife are Old Bristol, Clifton and trendy areas like Stokes Croft. Weston despite close to 100,000 population is all out of town and Stoke and Newcastle U-L make Swansea look...

    Sir Sadiq Khan

    Crime rates have been surprisingly static in London since the 90s. Yet, the media only bleat about crime when certain politicians are mayor. Wonder why?

    Sir Sadiq Khan

    Has to be Kensington somewhere-South Ken (Petit Paris) is a bit of a trek to Hammersmith so I reckon Notting Hill/North Ken. Clash country-Garageland (which I was murdering on guitar yesterday). I went to King's just after the mergers so spent a bit of time at the old Chelsea College (Manresa...

    I trust my judgement more that some right wing tit on YouTube making a series of these videos

    Sir Sadiq Khan

    I lived in London 86-91 and in some ropey areas of South London. I go back regularly for work purposes and taken my boy to concerts at RAH and Hammersmith Odeon (will not call it the Apollo). It's a darn sight cleaner and less threatening than it was then. The underground is much cleaner...

    Passenger plane heading for London crashes after take-off in Ahmedabad, India

    Possibly even worse with significant casualties on the ground. Hit an accommodation block of a hospital

    Brian Wilson RIP ...

    He would have been delighted to see the return of Stereolab. The cover of their first album 'Peng' was his avatar. Would have been gutted by Wilson's passing as are many of us. Sadly a foretaste of what's to come.

    Brian Wilson RIP ...

    One of the few true visionaries in popular music. No "Pet Sounds" then no "Revolver" or "Sgt Pepper's". Will raise a glass to Brian tonight to thank him. RIP Brian

    Nathan Jones

    Long-time Cardiff fan and youth player. Went to the same school as me (five years behind). Wife and a few mates know him and say he's a decent bloke. Does not come over well though

    The Liverpool incident.

    I don't think this was terrorism, but manipulation by the media and on social media has been driving misogyny, racism, homophobia and pseudoscience. It pervades into culture. "BBC are leftys (sic)", "we have extreme left wing government", "what was the middle is now seen as right wing", 'our...

    The Glastonbury 2025 Thread

    Apparently I saw Oasis in '93. Have zero recollection but clearly remember watching Tim Finn in the acoustic tent and some bizarre Japanese sci-fi in the cinema tent

    The Glastonbury 2025 Thread

    I went in '92 and came back with Campylobacter . Never thought I would end up researching it!

    The Glastonbury 2025 Thread

    I begrudged paying 30-odd quid. Last time I went was 1994 and have no intention of going now even if 45 minute down the road. . I did go to Glastonbury town last week . We had a lovely lunch, bought a display cabinet and a few bits a pieces before a quick trip to the Clark's village in Street.

    Car crashes into celebrating Liverpool fans.

    It would seem he was under the influence of drugs and tailgated an ambulance onto a closed road (Dale Street and on to Water Street). Whilst there is footage circulating of the car being attacked prior to ramming people it would be better not to speculate what prompted this act. I'm just...

    Andor season 2

    Take the 'Star Wars' out and that was a great political thriller regardless. Proper dialogue and character development. Some great performances, not least Ben Mendelsohn's almost unhinged interrogation of Denise Gough's Meera-much unscripted I have read. Star Wars where people die. And of...

    That's correct-there's a lot more promotion of the Bears than the Robins locally which suggest this to be true

    Spitfire Experience Flights Are Coming To Swansea ...

    Really enjoyed it when we went a few years ago. Worth going on the submarine (Growler) too.

    Spitfire Experience Flights Are Coming To Swansea ...

    Fleet Air Arm Museum. There's also one at Manchester Airport along with a few other planes including a Nimrod at the observation area. One in New York (and the Enterprise prototype space shuttle) at the Intrepid museum. I personally like Cosford (near Telford) which has all three 'V' bombers and...
