Big crowd for one of the local derbies. Cardiff v Bristol.

@JenStephDavies @ucu It is a classic strikebreaking tactic to call into question the morals of the individual participating in industrial action. Keep true to your instincts.

Big crowd for 3rd round FA Cup draw against Leeds United at Ninian Park. Shame about the weather!

@telescoper I have patiently explained to all who’ll listen that this tradition recalls Scottish pirate “Old Jock Lang” who kept losing his wooden eye in the tavern. Let’s raise our cups to find Auld Lang’s eye.

[Dr Stephen Lynch @DrSALynch]

@telescoper I’m sure you can get some medication for that. :-)

Two New Year traditions. On the left: a first footing gift delivered by a dark haired young man, to help with the fire. On the right: a Lemon Piglet, the 6th in an auspicious line of guardians who have brought luck.

@NJHuntUK @telescoper That’s an excellent resource. Thanks Nicola.

Mystery of the “First Principal” title solved thanks to @bryn00 and @sumarumi . Now what about the princely student anthem? A cursory glance suggests the verse was unlikely to inspire Mario Lanza.

[Dr Stephen Lynch @DrSALynch]

A bit of history… and a song. I noticed this bust that I thought would interest @telescoper : Charles Coles, 1st Principal of Cardiff Technical College, predecessor of @cardiffuni . Curious, I searched online & found this item on eBay which I bought. Thoughts @cardiffunimusic ?

[Dr Stephen Lynch @DrSALynch]

@telescoper Photographic evidence suggests not.

[Dr Stephen Lynch @DrSALynch]

@telescoper The mystery deepens.

[Dr Stephen Lynch @DrSALynch]

@telescoper Yes, I was confused by that too. Perhaps the College Head had a different title?
