After all that fuss about the winter fuel payment, government are still paying the pensioners' £10 Christmas Bonus. Worthwhile when it was introduced in 1972, now just pays for a tip for the milkman

Anyone enlighten me? Keep reading that Wales need to win by 4 goals to have a chance of qualifying. That would surely still leave England with a better GD. Or have UEFA come up with yet another convoluted formula? Obviously it's academic as it won't happen (sorry Cymru)

Great night at Cardiff Castle, James & Shed Seven both excellent. Only downside the travelling, train to the gig 20 mins late, train home cancelled, so 75 mins wait for the next/last one (if it runs). But that's nationalised transport for you.

I was thinking Eluned Morgan might be an improvement over the two previous clowns. But her response to this proves me wrong. "People are dying in ambulances" "Stop moaning" Many dying because of ambulance delays - coroner

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com
just ran a comparison on Cheap Energy Club. Found what looked a cheaper deal. When I checked, my existing tariff had been completely misrepresented. If I'd gone ahead with the switch, I'd have ended up paying MORE! Details on the forum under username Brisbaneroad

Nice to see a local attraction mentioned in your guide to museum cafes. Unfortunately you've confused Pontypridd and Pontypool, which is where Big Pit is actually located
