Congratulations to our local Penarth bookshop @GriffinBooksUK for winning Wales Indie Bookshop of the Year 2023.

Now we’re motoring.

Big crowd for one of the local derbies. Cardiff v Bristol.

@JenStephDavies @ucu It is a classic strikebreaking tactic to call into question the morals of the individual participating in industrial action. Keep true to your instincts.

32 mins gone.

Big crowd for 3rd round FA Cup draw against Leeds United at Ninian Park. Shame about the weather!

@telescoper I have patiently explained to all who’ll listen that this tradition recalls Scottish pirate “Old Jock Lang” who kept losing his wooden eye in the tavern. Let’s raise our cups to find Auld Lang’s eye.

@telescoper I’m sure you can get some medication for that. :-)

@NJHuntUK @telescoper That’s an excellent resource. Thanks Nicola.

@telescoper Yes, I was confused by that too. Perhaps the College Head had a different title?
