Can't they have the Judo and Shooting teams protect the rest? 

[Starver]

It was a entertaining match though. The Welsh crowd sang the full 90 minutes!

And yet the the Russians walked away? They must have learnt from Zulus at Rourke's drift and issued military-spec earplugs to their side, to shield them from the ancient Welsh martial art of Carau-Ywcey (especially the particularly deadly Cytgord Agos variation).

But I fear we digress.

Tried googling both those terms. Nothing came up, except a welsh wiki page about hardrock, 'Cerddoriaeth roc'. At least I think it's welsh.

.cy. for Cymri. It's an old language, sir, but it checks out.

It's Welsh. Cymraeg ("kəmˈraiɡ"). The second term's words are (badly) translated*, but both words are valid Welsh and seem to make sense in the context of that article.

* - The fuller term is too obvious. Agos canu harmoni Surprised that "cytgord" doesn't survive without its welshified English loan-word butting in.


My first term was admittedly my own phonetic concoction, because the commonly used modern loan-word contains letters not even in the original Welsh alphabet.

Vowels!

Agos canu harmoni =  cry of the wolf pack?

Edit: or rather dog troop, canis = dog, lupus = wolf

[scriver]

Cymraeg: Noun. The violent, explosive anger expressed by Welshmen upon being called English.

I don't think the Australian shooting teams gun license covers using it for self defence.

Russia got some nice new laws

My favourite is "the failure to report a crime"

[MarcAFK]

That's basically a law everywhere, nobody really cares unless it's a serious crime though.
The most repressive part of that in my opinion is 5-10 years for organising "mass unrest" unionising and protest would most definately be under that correct?
The day the Duma decided that Russia didn't need working Internet anyway

[Sergarr]

It would matter, if there were any unions that could organize even a small piddly unrest.

Besides, I haven't heard of a country where inducing mass unrest doesn't provoke massive retaliation from the government (with the exception of France, with its annual riots in the streets). Remember Ferguson?

Problem with the law like this is that one can easily accuse someone that he knew that his neighbor\coworker\friend\guy he follows in twitter was preparing a crime.

True patriots to *insert country here* will suss out evil-doers and traitors to the authorities.

You are a part of our society and must be proactive in ensuring our societies welfare.  Ignoring threats to our society makes you just as bad as the criminals.

Well, UR, I don't know the details, but in most countries people need to be able to prove you knew of the crime, which is bloody hard. Like, Jawad "the Host", who hosted the Paris attacker in his flat before the attacks, but claimed that he didn't know what they were up to, and pretty much walked free to become a meme machine (although apparently they found his DNA on a suicide vest yesterday, so that might not last for long).

Spoiler: Meme (click to show/hide)

Who already slept at Jawad's?


When they said they were going to have a blast at the Bataclan, I wished them a good concert


They asked if I knew how to make molotov cocktails, but I told them I'm not a barman


When they talked about Syrie (Syria), I though they meant the iPhone dude.
