Spoofing 'Yma O Hyd'
The almost 40 something year old song is back in vogue among fans of Welsh football, hailing it as a marvel and a new 'anthem' of Welsh football.
Johnny-come-lately fans jumping on the band wagon are keen to sing it thinking it will make them cool or something. You know, the fan types who supported Chelsea and Manchester United until they started to suck and then started to support another team 'because appearances and cool'.
As a soon-to-be 37 year old fan of Wales who first saw them at the old National Stadium in 1990 when we played Costa Rica in Gary Speed's first International match for Wales, I have seen the ups and quite often the downs of Wales on the International level from being thrashed by Georgia (the country, not the American State - although they'd have beaten us that day as well!) to the 2-1 victory over Italy in 2002.
Many old-stagers like myself do not like the narcistic attitudes of Johnny-come-lately fans into the Wales team 'family'. I love my country and will support Wales in any sport until my dying breath, yet to be inferred to as 'not a fan unless you sing 'Yma O Hyd' and you dress and act appropriate to the standards of a certain group of Wales fans who couldn't tell you who Eric Young, Clayton Blackmore or Paul Mardon were just reeks of 'look at me, I am important'.
Wales is more about Dafydd Iwan and 'Yma O Hyd', and I am sure he would be the first to admit it.
I have no issue with Dafydd, Welsh Patriotism nor the song itself - which I remember singing in Primary School back in 1991, sorry folks who think that this song just appeared within the past few weeks = but what I do have an issue with is the new 'fans' who think they and their support matters more because they are 'with it'. In short, they are actually (and very soon) going to turn what is a good pro-Wales song into a cringe-fest.
I doubt that we'll see many of these people at future Wales matches, once Wales begin to slip and slide down the World rankings, post Bale and Ramsey retiring.
Anyway, enjoy, Welsh or not!

HSBC
hsbc-aig-threaten-their-customers-when
After watching @HugoTalks videos on both of these companies today, I did some research and it appear that both of these businesses are in a poor way financially:
HSBC:

Mike Tumilty of Standard Life Aberdeen (their Global Chief Operating Officer) strongly recommends that you do not do business with them - HSBC fear a near-future 'run' on their banks and AIG 'lost the confidence of Wall Street and London years ago.'

#DONT
dontbethatguy-well-don't-be-that-police
Police Scotland scored a major own goal on Wednesday, with the launch of their #DontBeThatGuy Social Media campaign in order to 'educate' men not to r*pe - because 'r*pe is bad hmmmkay?' - as well as to not use outdated sexist tropes around women.
Blissfully unaware that Male r*pists do not give a damn about what they say, as they are driven by compulsion or mental/chemical imbalances, the virtue-signalling scheme is destined to fail because not only does it not tackle the root causes of r*pe or confront the mindset of a r*pist or indeed a truly sexist pig... but Police Scotland themselves have also been accused of sexism and misogyny!

BANGE
banged-up-in-wales-(part-18)-calum
This one needs to be filed under 'S for Stupidity' as the above donned a fake Police Uniform in order to assault a drug dealer and his partner in Grangetown, Cardiff.
Drug dealer Philip Hughes was handcuffed and stabbed in the leg twice by Morgan who was armed with a taser and imitation hand gun.
Thankfully, Morgan will now be put away for a long time.

CREDI
credible's-thoughts-on-roe-v-wade-being
Apart from the salt mine created on Twitter over @Count Dankulaafter the result of the overturn of Roe v Wade, the other 'funny' thing is that the women hating extremist Trans communities are also celebrating this result as it gives them raison d'etre to full on hate and attack women stripped of their rights - even if it means supporting the Republicans in the Mid Terms 'cause winning the Culture War matters most.
In protest, many Women are now opting out of 'the system'; single women are quitting Dating Sites ('cause 'Men') and even the TikTok and OnlyFans THOT's are starting to delete their profiles. Yep, solidarity against the Patriarchy... and do I smell bra's burning somewhere?
My thoughts as a TLDR - 'Your body, your choice'.

WHY I

Be it for reasons of logistics, aesthetics or that it won't benefit the 'Boks in the long run (with them currently taking on Australia, New Zealand and Argentina in the SANZARAU), I do not support South Africa joining the Six Nations Tournament at the expense of Italy.
