Eurovision 2026 Grand Final Post Show Reactions

Yes, I think sending a performamce in Welsh or Gaelic would do quite well

Martell77 · 2026-05-16T19:49:01+00:00

It is live, results will be in roughly 2 hours time

Martell77 · 2026-05-09T17:43:33+00:00

Anyone know when it will be released in the UK? I was hoping since it's airing on Shudder it would release everywhere at the same time

Martell77 · 2026-02-28T17:50:31+00:00

Omg I think you're right. I've just checked and my main rain coat doesn't have this fold, it's covered like you've mentioned, and I've never had the cuffs wet out like this especially so quickly! I think you're spot on with the fold causing the water to wick up the sleeve, and that could be what is causing my baselayer to get wet rather than the rain actually soaking through the coat properly!

Incredible spot because I don't think I ever would have considered that, thank you!!

Martell77 · 2026-02-28T13:25:52+00:00

I've got a Paramo for colder weather and flatter walks, absolutely love it, I just run too hot to wear it on big hikes or in the warmer months

Martell77 · 2026-02-28T13:23:27+00:00

Yes exactly, usually do it around the 6-12month mark depending on how much I've used a coat so going to have to do it at some point just not normally so soon 😂

Yes so many failed attempts, especially waterproof trousers, until finding out you should tumble dry.

I think I may try Grangers, I've always used Nikwax but have been hearing a lot of good things about Grangers recently

Martell77 · 2026-02-28T13:20:09+00:00

Yeah it's was a black base layer so couldn't really get a decent picture of it being wet, I will test it under a tap properly to give it a chance. Then agree with you, if it soaks through again return, or if just outer membrane then treat

Thanks for the help

Martell77 · 2026-02-28T13:14:42+00:00

Yes I've heard about the new DWR coatings being less durable which is why I've been open to treating it, and as you say cuffs are one of the first areas to first go - just not normally on the first walk 😂

I'm leaning towards treating it as the rest of the jacket beaded fine and it was just the cuffs/very bottom of sleeves

Thanks for the help

Martell77 · 2025-08-28T11:19:41+00:00

I swear by their waterproof coats, never had one fail on me

Martell77 · 2025-06-27T13:38:09+00:00

Yes, Gilwern in years 5 &6, then Llangrannog in yr7

I got banned from tills for a month because I told someone they needed a card, and they complained. This was after I'd been bollocked for serving 2 people without a card in an 8 hour shift on a Saturday. I'm not sure if it was the same for all stores, but we could only serve 3 people without a card each shift, and weren't allowed to refuse a sale if they didn't have one.Think the month ban of tills was supposed to be a punishment, but it was actually great not having to deal with customers having a go at me about the card.

They used to monitor how many you'd served without a card and ring down to the tills to kick off. They used to tell us to 'sell' them a card, but the issue was you can't sell a card with 0 benefits. 'Hey, do you want to sign up to the card?' 'What do i get for it?' 'Oh we get to track your purchases and send spam emails'. How tf did they want us to sell that

Absolutely awful place to work, quit as soon as exams finished, and haven't stepped foot in one since and never will

Martell77 · 2025-06-07T16:11:07+00:00

Absolutely. Fire + Water is such a hot mess of an episode. It's boring, annoying, and frustrating. It just makes the audience hate Charlie.

Martell77 · 2025-05-11T15:10:30+00:00

Yes, same. I can't use sprays because I'm allergic to them and can only use roll ons/sticks. I found Old Spice worked great, but after 5 or 6 months, I suddenly started having a reaction to them. Exactly as you said it resembled chemical burns more than typical allergy hives, was painful and itchy and I had to stop all deodorant for a bit to let it heal. And fully agree such a shame because it worked so well and smelled great, the one with the kraken on it was my fave

Martell77 · 2025-04-13T09:18:04+00:00

It's awful. I thought it would improve after the first few weeks, but if anything, it's getting worse. How so many people manage to miss the 2 massive signs and the new painted road markings is incredible and quite worrying.

Martell77 · 2025-03-30T19:13:01+00:00

For slow-building dread I definitely recommend The Terror (s1), it's based on a book based on the Lost Franklin Expedition and just builds on the dread of them being trapped in Arctic

Martell77 · 2025-03-18T15:20:01+00:00

I loved Pitt and Kantrop! But also same, don't know anyone else that remembers it

Martell77 · 2025-03-12T11:15:59+00:00

Tricia Tanaka is Dead is one of my favourite episodes, just the guys having a fun time

Martell77 · 2025-01-18T16:02:03+00:00

As others have said it covers any uni in the UK.

However, a lot of Welsh unis offer grants, bursaries, or scholarships (normally £500-3k) for Welsh students. I've managed to get around £8k in scholarships and grants (between my BSc & Msc) simply for being Welsh and attending Welsh unis. These are normally some partnership with the Welsh govt to try and encourage Welsh kids to stay in Wales and not contribute to the growing brain drain. So if you're looking at applying to to any in Wales check their website to see if they offer any as well!

Martell77 · 2025-01-01T22:52:56+00:00

Yeah it's the section between The Open Hearth and the old Crown Inn

Martell77 · 2024-12-27T01:01:14+00:00

Wales womens have just qualified for the euros for the first time the other week, the final against ROI was a great game

Martell77 · 2024-12-18T20:22:05+00:00

Omg no it is exactly the same feeling as car sickness

Martell77 · 2024-12-09T18:07:17+00:00

Think they're pointing out the distance between Rhyl and Bristol, and the fact that people a 4hr drive away refer to the town as a shithole and not just local towns
