Wales isn’t part of England, it’s the first colony of the English empire. They called it the British empire to spread the blame. Wales was absorbed by England at the time The Kingdom of England, formed in 927, gained the first U.K. state other than itself through invasion. In the late 13th century,...

Didn’t a Scottish No.10 play rather well in the third test?

Not nice. Polite.

You need to ask to leave. Do it, man. DO IT!!!

I’m a member of Plaid and Yes Cymru, we ask every election. We just need a few more idiots saying that we’re not a real country to sway the fence sitters.

Only an anecdote, but I heard that some University maths courses found that the A grade at A level mathematicians in recent years were not up to the first year syllabus, and they had to make it easier.

I might be being a bit over sensitive, as a confirmed low carb eating carnivore, but I got the impression from the news reports, that the best way to reverse climate change is for us all to become vegans.

You skipped the “age” restrictions?

I hope, for the sake of bored standards, that that was an insult. All the frontlines in our area got Pfizer.

No , it isn’t fatty enough, especially the breast. The brown meat is better. (innuendo alert)

Referee’s decision has to be explained through interpretive dance.

Darts. You have to end with a double. The only even numbered score is a conversion, so after time is up it needs a converted try to finish the game. If that puts you on a draw you can miss it on purpose, hoping that you might score another converted try to win it. It means that you can go in front w...

Global Britain? Speaking to journalists at his party’s annual conference in Torquay, Mr Farage said: ‘It was rush hour, from Charing Cross, it was the stopper going out.

My wife took adult Welsh classes (she is Welsh but was brought up in England so didn't speak it), everyone in her group were English older people. I can speak some Welsh but what I found was that, even if I spoke some initially, Welsh speakers I know just swap to English, because it's easier for th...

Yes - there's a region in the North Island that was less impacted than others by urbanisation many years ago, and that region is still relatively stronger than others when it comes to Māori language proficiency & use. Urbanisation was one of the many reasons why the Māori language become less utili...

Remind me when was the TMO brought in for ruling on foul play?

Its a good thing IMO. However welsh language teaching at schools in my experience is desultory, and largely just paying lip service. Also it's mandatory and a lot of kids resent it, they don't see as being particularly useful. There needs to be rethink on how to promote it. A similar issue to Māori...

A few years ago my wife, sons, and I were having a meal in a country pub. It had recently been bought by a rather plummy sounding Englishman. Where I live is not very Welsh speaking, and, tbf, he was quite interested to hear us all speaking Welsh. We got chatting, and he told us of how much French ...

I well remember the Toulouse fans clapping the Scarlets after a famous comeback. Classy.

Right punishment (being a dick) for the wrong crime. Nobody would knowingly criticise somebody genetically pigmented for their tan.

Gwenno

The rules are: Pointing out someone’s tan when it is fake = you are astute, and have a sense of humour. Pointing out someone’s real tan = yes, OK, but why have you mentioned it?
