I see the British are out for the Latinos again under the guise of antiracism.

First it was Suarez, then it was Cavani racially abusing a friend in his mother tongue, now its Hamilton deciding there's no place for words like neguinho.

"Why calling Lewis Hamilton 'neguinho' is a racist term - whatever Nelson Piquet says
Piquet was banned by F1 after claiming his Hamilton slur was 'mistranslated' "

Probably the way it was edited but I had to laugh at Lewis Hamilton calling for "older voices" to be refused a platform because discrimination is not something that we should be promoting. Ageism is okay though?

I see Operation Julie, a huge LSD drugs bust back in the 1970s in mid-wales, has been made into......
A musical.
WTF!?
The operation took place around the town of Tregaron, which is hosting the 2022 Eisteddfod.
Who would have believed it?

The "commonwealth"

?

Once upon a time, when Britain ruled (a lot of) the World, we had a Commonwealth.
Commonwealth being all the countries that the UK "had an interest in" of some form or another.
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, West Indies, etcetera.

"commonwealth" suggests they have wealth in common, but ...er... not really.

Listened to Aqualung by Jethro Tull. MyMy what an album! What is that all about!
Touches a lot of nerves for me.
And super music, acoustic guitar and piano and rhythms and flute and amazing electric guitar and Vocals and lyrics. Still mysterious and profound.

Just close your eyes and hope for the best
Yes I have a road bike.
Make sure you get good training. When you pass your test, try having a ride-out with police motorcyclists
(there's a scheme but can't remember the name of it - google police bike training).
Always be aware of the vehicles around you. Wear a high-viz vest or similar.
Enjoy!!!
