Wales 28-0 down at half time against France.  Good job I’m not Welsh. Not this year at any rate.

Arrgghhh, moderation again. X, Instagram etc may be heading one way but the Nest is bucking that trend.

If the challenges are now truly random, I estimate there is a 5% chance we could go 17 days or longer without a single ABo level. It’s almost as bad as Hollydog. It’s not healthy. I’m going cold turkey. There are consequences. I could die!

The on the other hand, I could be over-reacting.
