Yesterday's WWTBAM, one of the £8,000 questions was "To what office was Mark Drakeford re-elected in 2021?"

The contestant did not know, Clarkson did not know, phone a friend did not know. He eventually fifty fiftyed and guessed. But what the f**k !!

Drakeford was never off the telly during Covid as he made all the Welsh announcements, he also presided over the 20mph nonsense. I know matters political always score low but this shock the hell out of me.

20mph sees my car struggle to reach teens mpg, I remember it costing as much in petrol to drive maybe 40 miles round London (blanket 20mph anti-car city) for a day, as did the 400 mile round trip getting there and back.

I can genuinely weep over that. I am so sorry that these things happen.

Not munch to go on, decided that there were two possible letters in could end in so picked the more likely and played tactically, five greys suggested that it was the fourth option and happily that was correct. Had it not been in would have meant the other ending was right and would have left one chance at a fifty - fifty chance. Phew !

I noticed the broken scales (they record weights up to 25 stone but the needle refuses to go past 14, thus surely classing any weight as unreliable) had been removed from under the seat in the changing room and had been set in the centre of one of the weightlifting platforms.



That was me; I brought them out to get a very rough (and unreliable) idea of Isaac's weight; and lazily forgot to return them to their rightful place, for which I apologise profusely

A Wordle 6 today

With two guesses remaining, there appeared to be only two possible answers to choose from. The quandary here was whether to go for a tactical 5th to establish for sure which one it was or rule them both out and point me to look for an alternative that I hadn't thought of.

In the end I opted to be brave and go for one of the two, which proved incorrect. This meant it had to be the other option for guess six, but there was still a little trepidation on pressing enter.. thankfully I received a 'Phew'

When that scenario faces me, I always want to be brave, but I err on the side of caution (or cowardice) as I’m convinced a third option, of dubious origin, will become a possibility.

That is a disappointingly reasonable explanation.

"Powerlifter" is now a term of abuse and all the while Johnny Weightlifters are pulling stunts like this.

If I remember I will try to get a battery for the digital scales
