Between Two Spoons

Robby, Wales & It's The Welsh Special

It's The Welsh Special. Wales. Cymru. Welsh-ness. Let it shower down upon you.

On this installment of B2S, we head to the Coliseum by JD Wetherspoon in Abergavenny, Wales. That's right, B2S has gone international. Robby, Julia, Maddie and Will (our resident Welshman) were all there too, if you were wondering.

We covered the latest and greatest in gastro-pub news. We might buy our own 'spoons. And the Greene King has stepped in poo, like they do. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11434011/You-Spoons-JD-Wetherspoon-pubs-market-450-000.html

At some point we talked about free trees the Welsh government was giving out. How #adorbs! https://gov.wales/every-household-wales-can-collect-and-plant-tree-over-50-hubs-open-across-country

Turns out Roald Dahl is Welsh! So we had to talk about him. But he also had some issues. There was much to unpack. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20160912-the-dark-side-of-roald-dahl

Then the Welsh World Cop Preview. Timely, as always. And please watch the Joe Allen video - the shot of him juggling in his jnco trousers is amazing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63663389

Also Catherine Zeta Jones is Welsh and here's a video of her entrapping Sean Connery (and you as you watch) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDW9OcPizgA
