Cwm Dyli is the UK's oldest working power station, 121 years of renewable energy in north Wales :)

There's a year in industry opportunity working in the environmental consents team on the Awel y Mor project - share it with your kids as I know there's no uni students here :) Just a week left to apply, some info on the relevant degrees on the link below too. awelymor.cymru/year-in-indu...
Platty Joobs and Statey Funes were seemingly both drawn up by chronically online millennials who specifically wanted to annoy Telegraph readers
While The Telegraph has deemed 'picky bits' "the most revolting phrase in the English language", more Britons have a positive view of the term (43%) than a negative one (25%), with 31% neutral yougov.com/en-gb/articl...
Not wishing to call out Lee in particular on this (as he calls out Lee in particular on this) but this view is not unusual: there is huge complacency out there in Wales on renewables. Most of the power generated in Wales comes from gas. We haven't completed a new wind farm in six years.
Nice to hear someone say it. We still have the same issues with water and renewables. We pay the highest water charges in UK and yet we provide water to England who pay less for it. Same with electricity, England are still extracting Wales resources and still leaving us poorer.
Stan Brittain, who rode the 1958 Tour (finished 66th on GC) and is president of the Liverpool Phoenix is, I believe still with us aged 95? Olympic silver medalist, two stages and two GC podiums of the peace race, also rode the 1960 and 61 Tours but didn't finish either.

@drdeanburnett.bsky.social Reform UK Cymru MS Cai Parry Jones has helpfully confirmed you have a fan in Welsh Government
@friebos.bsky.social cricket definitely spends as much time as cycling, if not more, fretting about what it should be. They've gone from four day test cricket, to one day, to 20-20, to 100 balls. The main problem has always been the Faustian pact of pay to view TV.

BBC to reduce number of programmes on Radio 4 and just ask presenters to speak 30% slower
I hate this so much. The BBC should be providing good quality, good value programmes that the private market won't cover. You and Yours (which I kind of hate), Thinking Allowed and Free Thinking are exactly the sort of programming that the BBC is i) good at, ii) not haemorrhaging money to make.
What happened to NCP was an unshakable business based on stacks of concrete and basically no staff was sold from owner to owner, each taking a slice and repackaging the cake, until the box blew away in the wind. More deals generally means more debt, which becomes an ongoing cost to the business.

Also his friend is a talking pie
This isn’t AI. My cousin Braycen was torn apart by Havana syndrome which is why he’s in his coffin in “chunks”. The ugly “boy” in the (real) photo isn’t his son; it’s a full grown small intruder man who ran off with the head & ate it behind the funeral home. RT to salute 🫡 🇺🇸
DJing at Dempsey's was how I used to pay for my bike habit.
Pub this afternon and one of the boys interviewed by danish tv about gareth bale in 11s Went roughly like this; “ great player,…Welsh talisman, legend of the game here…. Goals that took us to euros and WC … Ruined this pub mind. Dempsey a was great, now bang average” 😂
