I had intended to do both parts in one go, but my throat gave out and I now sound like Sean Dyche sucking a cactus.
Will upload (2) tomorrow which features mainly non-Welsh news.

45 year-old Gibbs from Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, will be spending the remainder of this decade behind bars after being found guilty of slashing his former partner, Emma Brown, after she won £5.5m on the National Lottery.
Absolute cretin.

VAMPS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD?
Merthyr Town made their furthest away trip this season, all the way to the north-east coast and the infamous seaside resort of Whitby.
Noted in folklore for being a place where Vampires are present, would The Martyrs get bit at the Turnbull Ground or would it be a case of 'Fangs Very Much!'

This is just cringe.
Whatever your opinions on the vaccines/jab, this song has not gone down well with fans of 'Newport's Finest' and is a colossal waste of Senedd Funds as the band were paid by the Welsh Government to do this.
Well done Dripford and co. on abusing Welsh tax payer money and to GLC who have well and truly hit a bum note here.

Whilst what happened to this young boy is very sad and unfortunate, WalesOnline's new 'Moral Crusade' against the supposed drinking culture at home Rugby games is also very sad and shows a level of snobbery and anti-Working Class mentality with many of WalesOnline's staff blaming 'Valleys dwelling drunks' for recent events.
As somebody who has worked in events in the UK and further afield, I can state from first-hand experience that it's not just your atypical 'Working Class Peasant' who has drink issues but also the Upper Crust and Academia as well with CALM stating in 2019 that Academics (Students & Lecturers) were the most at risk of alcohol and substance abuse.
However, let's not let facts cloud the temperance visions of Mogadon and the Welsh State Media eh?

I came across the following on the BBC website recently, and had to do a double take at the arrogance, lack of self-awareness and superciliousness of it all:

Odds on England hosting all of the 15 tournament matches took a tumble recently, with the IRB keen on the matches going ahead before full houses due to economic concerns.
With England the only nation currently allowing fans to go to matches, and it being unlikely that will change in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy, moving this year's Six Nations to English stadiums makes sense and Players, Managers, Fans etc. could decamp to England for the duration of the tournament.
I've included my thoughts (and those of others) as to where these matches could be played. Again, these aren't set in stone nor have been agreed 100% they are thoughts and speculation only.
Bravo, Dripford, Krankie, O'Neill, Napoleon Macron and Draghi..... (slow clap). Out-flaming-standing!
