I can't imagine many coaches turning up on the off-chance they were going to get on a boat - Dover would have known in advance . They have not turned up on the off chance. Dover wouldn't have known. This is down to the ferry operators for underestimating. They're the ones that have made the mistake...

All checkpoints are now manned, checkpoints for cars made in to dedicated coach lanes, and they expect the backlog to clear today - and ferry operators have been laying on extra sailings throughout the night according to BBC. There was also further delays yesterday due again to the weather. It also ...

I didn't think I was going mad - I wasn't entirely sure, but had a vague recollection when that when I went abroad via Dover before we left that we had our passports checked.

This government dismissed plans to install extra booths and facilities in 2020 that would have eased the extra problems they were aware of. There are empty booths even with the ones there are now. You could build 100 extra booths, but if The French do not send staff to man them what would the extra...

Every passport needs to be checked as per what the Port of Dover bloke says. The French haven't sent enough staff over as per usual. The Port always decends in to chaos at the start of the Easter Holidays, even pre-Brexit. All three statements are completely correct, so why does it have to be exclus...

They have the booths, the French haven't sent the staff to man them. The Easter Holidays getaway has always been chaos at the port for as long as I can remember. This actually isn't anything new, but it makes a fantastic anti-brexit headline, which causes people on both sides of the divide to get al...

I have this horrible sense of foreboding around this game.

However, I am resigned to our fate.

You’re bang on the money there … are you still doing your photography, some great places to take pics in Wales. Would recommend Portmerrion for something slightly different. Was actually there last week. I've not been snapping anywhere near much tbh. With the weather getting better (maybe 🙄) I will...

Productive in the outdoors is fantastic for the mind. I would never have gotten through chemo without my regular walks locally - and it's something I've tried my best to continue since, including when recovering from surgery, but further afield. Did Snowdonia last weekend, often drive up to The Brec...

Don't be daft.

No conspiracy there if that was the case.

I still wouldn't let you on, even if you did get to keep it.

Walk you old ****er....

They hate the Welsh there. I struggle to take someone who talks like Wurzel Gummidge seriously. I'm also finding out just how much the Welsh don't like the English too. Called a tyre place a few days ago to ask them how much to switch my front tyres to the rear and vice versa - something I can't do...

Poor buses get the blame for everything...

Why is it never a lorry?

You should know better ToMoS, as a Welshman such as yourself, it's the vehicular equivalent of "an area the size of Wales"....

Four weeks on from having a wider excision on my back for the skin cancer, I now have on my back what can only be described as a gaping vagina with a lump of sea coral inserted in it. It looks manky and gross, and is stinging like hell. I'm on antibiotics, and have an appointment on Wednesday with t...

Diesel or petrol is that for?

If you're on Facbook, search for the group "Hammers for Work and Support" and you'll have better luck

An Essar filling station just outside Porthmadog has diesel at 149.9p. Not seen it as cheap as that since January 2022. That is Essar and not Esso btw - the Esso a little further down the road was 153.9p. Everywhere else I've seen, has still been around the 157.9p mark and above. Still some robbing ...

I should have emphasised players that are associated with West Ham in discussion, those are far more heavily linked with other clubs over us Perhaps if we hadn't been monumentally rubbish during The PL era for the mast majority of it, we'd have players in it. The only stand-out choices are a chubby...
