Starmer could open fire with a  kalachnikov into a primary school and Ozanne would back him to the hilt and say it was great strategy

What is tosh is that Scotland is on a par with real countries like Germany. Its more like Luxemburg or lietenstien.  definitely as it's talked about being a  similar tax haven)

Pointless has long established that only Sovreign Countries are acceptable answers when they ask for countries as an answer. In real life, Wales is by definition a country.

Wales has never classed as a country always was a principality.

Cardiff wasn't even the capital until last week.

So mad to still be debating this, but bringing up principality status is at least more relevant (but still wrong) - Wales was classed as a principality by the International Organisation of Standardisation until 2011, when it was reclassified as a country.

Close enough I suppose

i think we need to use the Pointless definition of: "recognised as a sovereign state by the UN".

its defined by the UK* as a region of the UK, same as Scotland, England and NI. are!

(* that's in legal definitions the UK has sometimes had to give, to the  EU and others)

Is Wales a Sovreign Country? No. Is Wales a Constiuent Country? Yes. Is Wales classified as a country by the IOS? Yes. 

Anyway, I really need to stop talking about this and sleep 😂

If you need any more info, Google is your friend. Literally just Google "is Wales a country?" and see what comes up.

      I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer

      That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.

      Victorious Festival 2026

      By eatingglitter · Posted

      Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
