    Nor me but that's mostly because I can't pronounce it :#

    Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
    Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
    Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
    Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

    Gwlad!, GWLAD!, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
    Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
    O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    How about "Men of Harlech" instead @wild edges ?

    Apparently Lady Macbeth's hand washing soliloquy takes about the right amount of time...

    Maybe I'm just a filthy slut, but I don't think I've ever spent that long washing my hands, apart from after a very muddy session in the garden .

    Looks like Exeter airport will be going the way of Plymouth airport.

    The entire West Country now self-isolating courtesy of Flybe?

    Brilliant headline today "Coronavirus causes CHAOS (their caps) on the Coronation Street cobbles as star placed in isolation".
    Read the actual article and the first paragraph reads "Cast member took decision to self isolate. They have not been to work. There is no disruption to filming"
    Can anybody find any correlation between the headline and the actual article apart from the fact that CV is potentially involved?

    Veracity sacrificed on the altar of alliteration ... and not for the first time. 🤣

    .....
    And if that's true then maybe the 'star' should be checking ahead in the scripts to make sure their character is still around .............
