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".
Should pop the video here if you fancy checking it out yourself. Shame Spottyland isn't on Google Maps for the first half. youtu.be/5jyl1BPoZFI?...
Superted, Spottyman and Blotch walking on a pavement in Cardiff. There is a distinctive wall to the left with a turret motif and a road to the right.
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.
Superted, Spottyman and Blotch on a pavement, seen from the side. There is a wall with a stone animal in front of them and a castle behind them. Superted's rocket is parked in the castle grounds.
The same image taken from Google Maps in November 2022 but without the rocket.
Kicked off St David's Day watching Superted's 1980s road safety videos and matching them to their actual locations in Cardiff.
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!
Thank you so much! Sian was SO funny - and probably the easiest edit I've ever done (The only bit I didn't record was the making of the cold coffee!)
How do you improve something that's already almost perfect? The correct answer is @sianharries.bsky.social, of course...
A bar chart of "views" over time which, by virtue of a single central peak, looks like someone flicking the middle finger.
I don't really use Threads much, and I'm not going to if this is the welcome I get.
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 !

Three images. Two of Dave from 2001: A Space Odyssey looking terrified in the Stargate, and one of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in his car.
Epic handshake meme with Left hand caption "Production Team Of The Crown" and Right hand caption "Production Team Of Adolescent Episode 1".
C'mon Netflix.
Also, at the WI gig, I dropped all the stuff about specific people in the room and/or shitting which saw it come in at about 45mins.
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!"
My face, too close up, with a caption reading GICF26, 2 FOR 1 DAY!

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
Ah, thank you so much! We are currently working on something which will be slightly longer, so I hope that does the job!
A screenshot of the Amazon page for Kenneth Williamsβs diary, advising customers not to use the product near overhead power lines.
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.
A supermarket shelf depicting light up letters. They are all Β£2.50 apart from the letters A, H, L, M, O, P and R which are Β£5.
Price-wise, an absolute disaster for anyone called "Ralph".
