On second thoughts, the opening of my Work In Progress in Glasgow now has the potential to be very different indeed.

I'm rather enjoying the implication that there *are* songs of Wales, it's just not easy to play them. Advanced mode only. New Game++

You're right. This is the only possible explanation.

"Wales greatest singer" according to a massive BBC Radio Wales public vote a few years ago - although "Wales Most Well Organized Fan Club" may be a more accurate title.

A book called "It's Easy To Play Songs Of England, Scotland and Ireland". The cover shows three cartoon faces singing - the shape of which makes up the UK. A Scotsman with classic 'bonnet', a top-hatted English man and a woman with her mouth open where Ireland would be. It looks horrible. Wales isn't there!

Intense relief to be overlooked for this, tbh.

Incredible! Given the number of people in the YouTube comments who said they still remembered it, I think he did a good job!

Yes, that's the one! The Angel Hotel. It's now the dictionary definition of "faded glamour". I stayed there for Halloween once, when I was working in Cardiff, and there was what can only be described as a Goth Wedding taking place downstairs. Incredible.

Reposting this for the day itself! The ridiculously funny @sianharries.bsky.social talking about Eisteddfodau, overly complicated costumes and eating "Peasant Food".

Google Maps screenshot of Cardiff. The wall of Cardiff castle is on the left , then there is a road and the Angel Hotel on the right. It matches the previous image.

Thank you! We had El on in a live episode a bit ago but, I'll be honest, I am now FASCINATED by the story of the musical they wrote together. Doing the HBD gang is a great idea, although two now live in Australia so I'd be tempted to save that for the inevitable world tour!

How do you improve something that's already almost perfect? The correct answer is @sianharries.bsky.social, of course...

I'm So Not Over It: St. David's Day with SIAN HARRIES It's St David's Day!(Or it is on March 1st, so it slightly depends when you listen to this episode). Either way, we've decided to do an episode that is unambiguously and unashamedly Welsh. I mean, ...

To get you in the headspace for St David's day on Sunday, a special episode of @imsonotoverit.bsky.social with the brilliant @sianharries.bsky.social !

Gareth Gwynn: Cyril (Work in Progress) | Leicester Comedy Festival

If you're in Leicester on Wednesday, so am I. I'm doing a work in progress of this show, which went down very well at my mum's WI because I always said "Gower" instead of "The Gower" and that was noted and appreciated.

Screenshot of Sturla Holm Lægreid on a Norwegian TV station, tearfully confessing to cheating on his girlfriend moments after winning bronze. His skis are tilted to make sure the logo is very clear.

"Hey, Sturla, congratulations on the Bronze. When you do the interview, can you make sure our logo is nice and clear on camera. We wouldn't want to miss the positive press on this one!"

In my head, Trevor has always had the voice of my friend @garethgwynn.bsky.social, which won't really help you unless you're a frequent radio Wales listener

Amazon has placed a VERY specific product warning on the published edition of the Kenneth Williams diaries. The incident that prompted this surely deserved more media attention.

wint @dril. 6m

@McDonalds i have an a 1 million dollar idea that will pull your failing company directly out of the toilet, hear me out.

wint @dril 6m

@McDonalds all right. so first off we know that the hamburglar has become soft in recent years, the customers no longer fear him

wint @dril 6m

@McDonalds and it is necessary, I believe, to threaten your customers with some sort of villain, to increase the perceived valueof your food

wint @dril 6m

@McDonalds but how do you shake the core of a public fresh off the heel's of the 9/11 atrocities. what is it that they fear the most

271

wint @dril 5m

@McDonalds they fear Chaos. they fear those who dont simply loot and plunder as the hamburglar does, but those who seek to Destroy.

wint @dril 5m

@McDonalds and so me & the boys have invented "the mcshitter", a fictional man who jumps up on tables and shits all over the customers meals

wint @dril 5m

@McDonalds i know its fucked up. but "shit" is one of the last few apolitical threats. 99% of ppl on both sides of the spectrum dont like it

wint @dril. 5m

@McDonalds this is money in the bank. put the mcshitter in all of your branding, and enjoy a tenfold increase in likes and re-tweets

@McDonalds your current slogan, "Im Lovin It", will no longer do. i would suggest replacing it with "Look out. Here comes the McShitter

wint @dril 4m

@McDonalds it will go without saying that hes an ugly son of a bitch. goblin-like. someone you'd particularly not want shitting on your food
