Today I learned that the Welsh equivalent to "It's raining cats and dogs" is "She casts old ladies and sticks" (directly translated) or more "Its raining old ladies and sticks". I suppose that's no more off than raining "cats and dogs" 😂

I don't EVER want to hear anyone talking about "Western values" as if they're somehow better. Western values means arming and supporting Israel to commit genocide, it means to kill millions in oil wars, it means capitalist exploitation of the poor, while blaming immigrants.

Here’s a hint for anyone wanting to break old habits and save money in the process. I did this in a time long ago and it worked a treat. I opened a savings account that I named the Didn’t Account. I carried a notebook with me, and every time I didn’t do the things I was trying to stop doing, I […]

Marks & Spencer's (M&S) CEO pay package jumped from £5m to £7m. Govts tell workers wage rises are inflationary but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks and resulting inequalities. It is class war.

I'm VERY slowly starting to get used to hearing what my voice sounds like to other people, from when I listen to the audio on the videos I'm doing for traffic-free route guides. Most of us have no real idea what we sound like to other people.
