Terrific win for Scarlets this evening, nilling Glasgow, even at home, is no mean feat. Properly cheered me up, Lord knows I needed it.

For those living in #Wales a very urgent message from #WelshBloodService appealing for blood donors. Lives are saved by blood donors - I had to have 2 blood transfusions during my cancer treatment & will be always grateful to the donors.

Okay, here we go.
Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients.
NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer.
You know what to do

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

This is why coaches wear their rugby boots.
Coaching U12s on Monday, running an exercise on ruck defence & demoed defending the edge by acting as sniping scrum‑half. In the wet, wearing trainers, I slipped mid-sidestep without a soul laying a finger on me & crashed like a sack of spuds. Pretty sure I cracked a rib, still fucking killing mun.

We had a pensioner(?) do a racism to us yesterday
He opened the shop door, looked at us 3 cishet white guys & said, very loudly:
"What a lovely oasis from all these Indian shops!"
I was first to remark & joined by a colleague:
"Paint roundabouts do we?"
but he'd fucked off.

When people like Lucy White thunder the explicit racism of "there should not be a single person born in Pakistan in the UK House of Commons", ask them whether Boris Johnson, who was born in America, should have been permitted to be the Mayor of London, an MP, and the PM.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!
