On a TV programme about Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) the narrator pronounced the name as if it were an English island spelt Ense Enley!
One gets accustomed to the mangling of Welsh names by English broadcasters, but this is exceptional.
One would expect a professional narrator to make some attempt to get such things correct
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

From a football podcast talking about a player without enough talent:

"He hasn't got the minerals"

They are all saying it, this month.

Motorcycle racer Laurent Hoffmann at the 2026 North West 200 launch show was asked about playing golf but said he was in a sport that requires 2 balls. :lol:

Failed asylum seeker families to be offered up to £40k to leave UK

Apparently the labour government are trying to outbid Denmark's offer of £30k to leave.

I feel a plan for a new innovative cycle tour coming on. :lol:

I'll leave here then I'll leave Denmark -- and any other countries offering money to leave and just keep on going round and round.

The silver 'ach' contained within the golden arches, spotted whilst riding home last night.

...actually part of a sign on a building behind the Mc D' signage.
There may be a joke here...
