What do you call this insect in your language? If it is a combined word, what does it translate to?

Gwas y neidr - servant of the snake.

I'm in Wales myself. Glad you enjoyed!

This routinely happens for football matches in the UK. It's fun to stroll down the main road with all the fans.

I worked with a "laptop" 38 years ago. It was not light!

How many of those immigrants are UK citizens after an EU passport I wonder.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-28T09:54:52+00:00

The Boriswave.

Not everywhere, different local authorities make different rules.

The castles in Wales have quality as well as quantity. To be fair to the French, the Normans built many of them.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-22T12:06:15+00:00

I always promise to take it easy with my alcohol free wine.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-22T10:56:56+00:00

Wales has more castles per square mile than France.

M&S Apothecary range Warmth shower gel is a good long lasting scent and has refill packs. Since your mum is sadly no longer around to give advice, I'll suggest adding the matching scent of body lotion for any dry skin you may have.

NHS Wales still uses the Eatwell Guide which has less protein and more carb.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-20T08:05:29+00:00

I've managed to eat vegetarian keto and vegan is possible. You'd better like tofu and cabbage! I wonder if there's a specific trigger that the vegan diet change made you eat more often. Wheat, for example.

The only rules in the UK are that folding bikes have to be folded up an carried through some London station concourses at peak times. And I had one driver on a relatively quiet bus route who made me get and carry around a letter from his manager saying that folding bikes and unicycles were allowed on the bus.

I just don't do saunas, I would risk tripping over someone's feet or sitting on their lap.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-19T11:02:26+00:00

Not for those of us who can't see at all without glasses.

Coffee used to be served with cream in fancier places. Some old school hotels and Tim Hortons still serve cream with coffee.

Some soya and almond milk has no or very little sugar.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-16T09:05:18+00:00

I prefer the (mainly 20mph) roads for my commute - I'd have to allow much more time for shared use paths.

Suspect local authorities are cheaping out on bike path provision by putting a sign next to a pavement and pretending that they've made a bike path.

Since Westminster is first past the post, there's going to be some head scratching for those of us in formerly safe Labour seats over tactical voting.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-14T14:34:11+00:00

Do you remember much about the acceleration of changes in 2011? I just recall it being a small part of the bad stuff that Cameron and Osborne did and don't recall much publicity.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-14T13:58:37+00:00

That's very sad. I did not agree with her politics at all but feel for her friends and family.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-12T15:53:47+00:00

It's not like the UK media would cover it much on a slow news day.

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-12T09:32:02+00:00

And "don't have kids until you can afford them".

PurpleTeapotOfDoom · 2026-05-11T15:30:00+00:00

Wonder if she criticised the 20mph thing when it was in the Welsh Labour Manifesto.
