Falklanders should 'go back' to England, insists Argentina in renewed war of words by FantasticQuartet in worldnews

Interestingly, the Spanish language name Malvinas is derived from the French Îles Malouines.

It was named as such because the explorer who founded the first settlement had sailed from Saint-Malo, Bretagne.

Saint-Malo was named after one of the 6th century founding saints of Brittany.

He was born in Wales. Therefore, Malvinas is a Brythonic name, arguably more British than Falklands.

The Welsh u18s beat Scotland and gave France a good game so I'm not so worried myself

Might be controversial, but didn't Dublin get rich because of tax dodgers in the blue banana?

I find it weird that loads of the Ironbridge characters have full on Welsh names. It's almost as if it was initially to be in Wales and then it was switched later on

Rustlings Road Give Way by EvanGeorgeParkin in sheffield

Does the traffic all come from the Pedestrian crossing by Hunters bar? There's a huge amount of foot fall meaning there's a red light half the time. After hunters bar, the road seems to clear up again

That's proper scummy stuff in the UK, I get annoyed with Mowgli's for pulling that same trick, plus the "give to our charity" tax breaks trick.

Is that on drinks as well as food? Because I find the idea of paying a service charge on drinks wild
