Human person. South Wales.
Work stuff: privacy and Welsh affairs.
Non-work: bad jokes, worse takes and poorly thought through ideas that seemed good at the time.
In my banner pic I am wearing my patented DogClogs (TM).

Fair play, if they do get to build the new Man Utd stadium, it’ll easily overtake Everton’s new one as the best stadium in the Championship

People tend not to associate the arts with the South Wales Valleys. But Art is community and art is for everyone. Or certainly should be.

Tonight is Recycling Bin Night, which sees communities of people all over the UK observe the strange ancient custom of emptying packets of gone off iceberg lettuce into a thin green bag inside a small bin, before taking the green bag out the front and putting it into a bigger bin. Fascinating.

I know Bluesky is supposed to be an alternative to the hate and bile firepile of Twitter but ballpoint pens where the nib retracts a bit upon contact with the paper, often with an accompanying clicking noise, are pure evil and should be outlawed immediately

One of the nicest things about Bluesky is seeing people from the lovely funny Twitter community I knew about 15 years ago appearing in my feed again. But my old account wasn’t in my name, so it’s a bit like going to a school reunion where no-one recognises you.
