I’m a Welshman living in Wiltshire. Husband and dad. Love watching LFC and Welsh rugby. Rock and prog plus lots of other music, books, cycling, parkrun, duolingo (cymraeg), playing guitar, and bass.
Statistically speaking, they can’t ALL be the greatest football team the world has ever seen.

My favourite gift for my birthday today was a pair of tickets to the Uncanny show in Swindon next March. Can’t wait. #Uncanny #UncannyCommunity @dannyrobins.bsky.social

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, but I still think it’s a shame the Nobel committee didn’t give it to Obama again. Just because.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot.
It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place.
Ban assault weapons again now.

A reminder to always check the #Parkrun website before travelling. Yesterday we drove to a different parkrun only to find it was cancelled. Luckily, not that far away, but disappointing nonetheless.

Had such a great time at @truckfestival.bsky.social this year that we’ve already bought next years tickets with no clue about the lineup. Obviously hoping for Radiohead and Pink Floyd to headline, but worried it could be the Cheeky Girls and Musical Youth.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

So I’ve been #cycling with some mates every weekend since Spring, usually 40 or 50 miles. Today we did a shorter route but pushed the pace a little. When we got back, Strava had this little surprise for me.
