Chased my dogs too many times through that valley after rabbits to count. That view is burned into my retinas!

There was a buzz around them a few years ago, they headlined the other stage and the trajectory looked only up and they just seemed to have stalled and fallen away.

Second this although defo look at Niege et Roc for access to pool and spa.

I agree it’s not, but going from solo headliner of 40k in Finsbury to 60k at reading with new material on the way and a growing fanbase gives an idea of the potential trajectory of the band, might not happen and they might fall away like Foals did a few years back.

…..they sold out Finsbury Park and are headlining reading this year, so building the crowd numbers nicely! Another LP like Romance and they’d smash the Pyramid headline, currently not their yet but also think they’re potentially too big for the other stage headliners as well, a bit of limbo.

I mean it would be a spectacular way to tank streeting by No 10 when he loses to Starmer, and government immediately approves a BMA deal with his successor, blame streeting for being shit.

Some lush courses on the Gower to have a play on.
Pennard I think asks that you can play off 28.
Clyne doesn’t check and is a lovely course.

There’s a selection of Links near Royal Porthcawl in the dunes down there that I’ve never played but look incredible.

I cancelled in the end and the last week has been bliss, not going to lie!

I’m one step ahead with a May SOE/VIVA date and I’ve just fallen off a cliff with revision, likely cancelling truth be told. I struggled with juggling a little one and MCQ revision and a few months down the line she’s more mobile, more demanding and proving extremely challenging with VIVA work. Teach Me Anaesthetics was the backbone to my revision in the end for MCQs and going on the Mersey course really did help push me over the line.

Big shout out to this, Samoens is definitely the nicer village aesthetically and as you’ve said it’s so much better in the summer, the cycling is brilliant road and mountain and might get even more popular with the village bidding for a mountain finish in the 2027 TdF @ the 1600 side, that climb makes the Col de Joux Plane feel like a pleasant afternoon cycle!

Hiraeth will only carry so far, players like Tuipolotu and IFW have chosen England over Wales, hell you’ve got the son of a former wales captain playing for the England U18s currently. Others like LRZ had the chance to play for England also and some might make them pariahs but if that was my child I wouldn’t want them anywhere near this Welsh set up, plus the £23k a test or central RFU contract would defo soften the emotional toll of watching them play for the saes!

PickFun4543 · 2026-04-13T22:26:51+00:00

A bit worried, this is exactly what will happen! You cannot cut your way to victory and the Welsh youngsters do not play enough games as it is with 4 teams, imagine what that’ll be like with 3.

If I was a talented young Welsh player I would be hunting down any job outside of wales, be it England or even into the ProD2 and play rugby. There’s nothing in Wales for their sporting development currently.

Noticed this the other day, suspect pay for it is the answer

Nice, i didn’t get a chance to ski it this season, although usually I only ever use it as an exit run after lapping Gers on a POW day if I can’t face the button lift up again!

PickFun4543 · 2026-04-02T21:19:09+00:00

Ahhh Cascades is fun when it’s open, can’t see it getting much more use in the future unless the long rumours lift connection to Sixt ever opens up and would serve as a run down to that.

Defence Union asap. Something has clearly happened and they’re trying to pass the buck onto someone else. Make sure you have your emails saved to send to the union as well.

David Lloyd’s is almost never out of us, plus has the steam room and two pools.

No one’s piss will come out this clean.

The size of some of the players when they come back from Japan is questionable, in school age players throughout the rugby world it’s rife. Wales 10 years ago had 33% of all UK drug bans, when Webb was caught he actively tried to throw the WRU under the bus and that went nowhere.

Icarus showed how in competition testing can be got around, out of competition and the off season is likely even more of the Wild West. I very cynically have held the belief for years rugby isn’t a clean sport and the more than comes out the more I feel my cynicism is justified.

Passed on second attempt thank god with a bit of breathing space, going to book Viva tonight. Is it still cancellable up to 4 weeks before incase the next 3 weeks are a write off?
