So..... taking this logic to the end..... By this reasoning 20% of all the dialogue on this broadcast medium should be in Welsh for the 'correct' balance. This is being failed.

@philsteele1 Most of the problem is that the pro structure in our domestic game is unfortunately as it's not pro. It needs root canal surgery to make it work again. The 4 pro teams were supposed to have a 'regional' identity, and then didn't. Decline was inevitable without changes.

Welsh rugby fans preparing to walk away from the game Sir. Thousands of them. 🥲

@VelvetyMole @TalkingPicsTV Interesting! Margot Bryant was a long fixture in Coronation Street!

This is how to do end credits! I miss the days when you could have a good read of who played who whilst reflecting on what you'd watched. Now it's all minimise the screen and have the voiceover person bang on loudly about something else. Hurray for the olden days @TalkingPicsTV

Pleased with my latest crop! 🎃

@T2Rugby Jonah Lomu 🙌was 1.96m I believe.

At 1.96m Sua'ali'i is one of the tallest backs in rugby history. Only two can quickly think of that are 1.96m or taller are Jordie Barrett (also 1.96m) and Alex Cuthbert (1.98m). x.com/StanSportRugby…

@thepaulwilliams As a matter of interest - do any of the regions operate with any financial stability? Or are they all running deficits?

People are being so unfair to Sam Warburton in all of this. When he said 'go to three'. He included that it could be Cardiff to go, as in merge with Dragons and becoming the 'East'. He didn't say Cardiff must stay and the rest fight it out. Calm yourselves.

@NationCymru Boot on other foot. We encountered LA as a Welsh Government minister previously..... bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

The announcements on January 28 seriously damaged Cardiff University’s reputation domestically and internationally, undermined the contract of trust with staff, and sent morale through the floor ✍🏻Leighton Andrews wp.me/p8Mk4U-Wn9

@chris_neto Most of the AI engines are good at reading wiring diagrams. Boring manuals and operating instructions should be much better to produce 😁

Q4 How will AI impact traditional AV jobs, from system integrators to content creators? What new skills should AV professionals develop to stay relevant in an AI-driven industry? #AvintheAm #AVtweeps

@simonrug @thepaulwilliams Indeed so! 👍

@Bob_Sideshow @thepaulwilliams I take your point about consistency, but I do think it was the correct decision on this occasion. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

There's a reason you're not allowed to jump into tackles in rugby union. If you've ever taken a knee to the head, you'll know why. HIAs would go through the roof.

@simonrug @thepaulwilliams You could also argue the being hit by a hand on the thigh means he wasn't high enough to be considered hurdling. He also didn't jump straight at the tackler. It's inconsistently refereed, and isn't encouraging a flowing enjoyable game.

@Bob_Sideshow @thepaulwilliams You could certainly argue that he did jump to hurdle. You can’t really have players constantly being told to tackle low and then allow players to try and jump over those low tackles.

@simonrug @thepaulwilliams Doesn't say that. It says 'jumping to hurdle'!

@Bob_Sideshow @thepaulwilliams Attempted hurdle!

@simonrug @thepaulwilliams To hurdle something you have to clear it!

@Bob_Sideshow @thepaulwilliams It’s the hurdling action which will have been deemed as illegal.

@simonrug @thepaulwilliams Except he didn't avoid the tackle. Will Hurd was on his knees and did get his hands on Blair. The hand clearly hits him on the thigh. That shouldn't count as 'avoiding' the tackle.

@thepaulwilliams Here’s the full World Rugby rationale.

Rwfath o Jack Black? #8 #CiG2025

Ok. Uchafbwynt y flwyddyn heno. @canigymru #CiG25 Highlight of the year 🤪

@CantreBreiniol I very much remember the 'effect' that he had. Many colleagues commented that words and deeds didn't always match.

Didn’t he ‘lay off’ University of Wales staff? A stronger, federal University wouldn’t have made this mess 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

ah..... 8 bit maths.

@justinrdawson I've decided to have a look there too.

So with the continued growth of #blueskyapp #BlueskySocial , how many of my followers and fellow #avtweeps have taken the leap?

@rosieandrubyUK @UniofBath That's outstanding 😁

Today after 5 years of illness, hardship and heartbreak, I bloody well passed my PhD viva with minor corrections, I will be the unofficial Dr Zoe Jeffery for now but the real one when I've corrected, hoping to graduate January - yey! @UniofBath #PhDone #PhD

@cjmcevoy_itav @elgato Partially! We use them on our streaming rigs 😁

Converted my @elgato Stream Deck at home into work mode when I'm #WFH. Love this little bit of kit. Would make a great (cheap!) AV controller for teaching and meeting spaces too. Anyone done that? #avtweeps #av #highered #Teams
