I think the Italy game will be the final straw but they won’t announce that Gatland is going until the end of the tournament.

Yes, you will have a lovely time I expect…

Egg on your face Olap. A stunning tactical masterclass from Gats and Howlers proved you completely wrong.

The UK water example is spot on. £50 billion debt put in and coincidentally virtually the same amount distributed as dividends.

Leaks and water wastage everywhere, prices rising dramatically and sewage in the rivers and on the beaches.

Is RFCLA the successor to the giltinis or whatever they were called?

That will be a good test for you given the form of the French domestic teams at the moment. Hopefully you have reason to celebrate in Paris afterwards.

I’m trying to be hopeful but Gats really hasn’t given me much to work with. I hope I’m surprised, but the opening France game will definitely be a write off.

Chimpanzee eating a kebab. Nice!

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

My wife kept saying we should get a Dyson, but I wouldn’t contribute to the cost so we bought a Henry.

He’s not getting a penny my money.

Surely it’s the cube pub?

There are services in the UK where they come and clear the house for free. They take the risk on the value of what is in there.

It’s easy. W is a vowel in Welsh. It sounds similar to ö in German and it can be modified as ŵ to elongate the sound such as in the word dŵr which means water.

Wrwgwai or Wcrain (for example) are the natural way to spell those countries using the Welsh alphabet. Its a highly phonetic language believe it or not.

What happened to Giant Bomb? I used to listen to it many years ago…

There are parts of London which are hell to visit because they are overly popular with tourists. An example being borough market at lunch time, it’s all tourists and you can’t move. I don’t begrudge anyone and I can happily just avoid it but it really makes me realise how hard it must be in the much smaller cities with higher ratios.

My wife went to Venice recently with her mum and said that the service staff were predominantly South Asian, so I wonder how much of that 250k is immigrant population there to service the huge tourism industry.

Does nobody here wear shirts to work?

My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it’s fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.

We’ve never let him live it down.

Fascinating, and what about Basque?

Jess christ… this makes me want to poke out my eyes!

It’s too hard! Can you tell us?

All true. A few problems facing increasing renewable penetration:

Lack of grid capacity. The national grid operator (REN) has stated there is not enough capacity currently, or in the planned grid expansions, to meet the countries renewable targets.

Rising opposition to projects. Many projects are facing strong local opposition, for example the the 1gw project in Santiago do Cacém which has seen strong resistance from local organisations set up to oppose it.

Environmental protections. They are important and needed, but Portugal has very strong laws here and it is a big obstacle to renewable development.

Cork trees. Cork trees are worshipped, its even difficult to clear sapplings that are of no value or importance. It makes large swathes of land uneconomical for renewable development.

Despite the above, which (except for cork trees) aren’t unique to portugal, the country is doing well. It will be interesting to see the stats in the coming dryer years, as you say.
