Ha oh no - not the ending I expected to that story! 🫣

I know - the shock of it being so long ago!

I have not a single photo from the gig but flipping heck. ♥️

An old colour picture postcard showing a half-timbered manor house, three stories plus attic rooms, with ivy, slate roofs, white stucco and black beams, set in verdant countryside. It is a very appealing image

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of Gregynog Hall

Gifted to the University of Wales in 1960, Gregynog hosts conferences, often academic, and will I suspect be known to many UK academics

Thanks to @emmaraczka.bsky.social we now know that this parade was walking up Station Terrace, and my guess is then turning right to go to what is now the rugby club, but back then might well have been playing fields

So probably St David's College v Cardiff Uni, but what year?

Ha brilliant - love a displacement activity!

How cool - top skills!

Sunday school is around where the comp school pitches are. Fairly sure there were also pitches further up from St Peter’s church? Also, the uni used to have an all-weather hockey pitch. Don’t know if that area would have been big enough for rugby?

The rugby club is not far from
Station Terrace, cut off that map - don’t know if that was playing fields back then?

If you have a look at the other photo posted, it’s basically turn right at the end of that street (where you see the white building) so v close!

It’s not far from the sawmills where my Polish grandad used to work.

Here’s the street!

Great to be here! I came across and old twitter person and decided it was time to see if more of the old gang were around! 😆

The hats - they’re interesting?

I can ask my friend’s dad who is a local historian, but I did wonder if it was rugby-related!

The street is station terrace rather than college street - I think the university had some properties there until recently too?

Oh hello!😀

So has anyone actually ever done a mashup of The Smiths’ Girlfriend In a Coma + KC And The Sunshine Band’s Give It Up?

I’m not sure what’s worse:

That Puma thought it was a good idea to shoehorn some odd lyrics about running into a comedy pothead anthem; or that they completely disregarded the apostrophe.

Have you been inspired this week to employ an apprentice, or become an apprentice yourself?

There’s a wealth of information available: https://buff.ly/4gQBGLD

#AWWales2025

Woman's deepfake betrayal by friend: 'Every moment became porn' Australian teacher Hannah Grundy was left to track down the man posting deepfake pornography of her.

Important article about the very real impact on victims. So much digital naivety from the authorities and those responsible.

Also - don’t know if it’s helpful, but Medr - the tertiary funder and regulator in Wales - released a statement last week about HE finances. Thanks again!
