I'm getting in before that bastard Mikelinks does!


Happy Winterval to one and all!

Same to you Matt, but I refuse to acknowledge the arrival of winter until 21 December!

We are getting minus 15 by the end of the week... apparently....

Gritting lorries are out tonight!!

What? I thought the country was broke? Why the hell are we wasting grit on Welsh roads?

I agree - when we complaining about the bitterly cold winds yesterday, some of my students were 'what do you expect in Winter?'

I maintain that it's not officially winter until after Dec 21st - the winter solstice

but I just googled & read that in the UK that's considered midwinter


so they were right ........ ish

I reckon since they don't live in the UK they were wrong

Well according to National Geographic the winter solstice is the first day of winter in the northern hemisphere, and that's good enough for me!

I like the word Winterval, I wish there was a Spanish equivalent. It starts on 6 December (Constitución) and goes on till 6 January (Los Reyes), during which period the average Spaniard gains 4 kilos in weight!

haha, paid for by the Welsh Govt. That you pay to lol

I bet you is impressed I haven't mentioned "you know what" yet eh?

Oh shit Please don't lol.

I won't.... we get them on Saturday and I'm trying not to get too smug....

Let's hope the All Blacks don't resort to thuggery again!

Or the England players milk it like the Welsh do eh?

According to BBC news yesterday, all but 2 of the All Blacks had been struck down by winter vomiting disease.

They are getting their excuses in early.....
