I feel vindicated by this, no more shall I have flashbacks of raising my hand in class to say "can I go to the toilet" only to get a smug reply back from the teacher

They are though. My mum puts it on in the background when she can't find anything else to watch because she likes the high energy of the "debate". She's not right wing, but she does enjoy background chatter
Very much Lake District vibes, but with slate stone everywhere... I mean they literally decimated a mountain range in the pursuit of those high quality slate tiles. A lot of mournful monuments to their slate industry about what was done to their area of outstanding natural beauty
Thanks for the DJ Marsh set, I'll listen to him when I'm working!
Great! Weekend in North Wales and visited Anglesee and the isle of Holyhead. Did a lot of hiking around Snowdonia, visited a RSPB wildlife site, walked along quite a few aquaducts, ate great food and took part in a Gavin and Stacy pub quiz (I don't watch the show so I was a bit useless here). The weather was a bit on and off, but it was overall very beautiful.

You can't quite see them in the photo, but every black dot in the sea and on those cliffs are birds. Birds by the thousands. Birds maybe by the millions. It was their nesting season and these little flying penguins would swoop by clumsily over our heads every minute or so. I have never seen so many birds in my life. I've been looking online for other photos to do it justice, but nothing comes close to depicting the sheer number of them.
South Stack Lighthouse
Apparently 10 years ago you could barely walk up to the lighthouse without treading on a nesting bird!
Portmeirion "Village"
If the name rings a bell but you can't quite place it, then play this song and take a look at the photos below.
The main plaza/set
Costs £20 per person to get in, but it is lovely, and if you are a fan of the old TV Series The Prisoner, you are basically in HP world. Also there are some beautiful nature walks leading out from it towards the estuary which is stunning in itself.
Numbered locally brewed Ales
They had beer named/numbered after the characters! I naturally had a few number 6's, and apparently went into full gushing fan mode and bought a bunch of stupidly overpriced merchandise. I am nonetheless very chuffed. It was a beautiful village, and a real peek into the mind of an amazing architect:

I have to admit it surprises me too, but somehow I find myself still queuing up alongside the bar.
It's nuts and yet makes perfect sense, but I can vouch that no one -no one- was doing it ten years ago.
