The Swansea Council has been presented with some fantastic numbers and a not-so-hard-to-make decision. Swansea projects 300 more places will be needed for pupils at Welsh Medium Primary School level in the next few years. Apparently more and more people are deciding to educate their children through the medium of Welsh and numbers […]

Funny, my automatic form filler filled in that title for me. Guess it’s not the first time I’ve had this dilemma!
Actually this time round, it’s more a case of having too much material rather than not enough. The Swansea Leader came out today and it full of interesting and exciting stuff. Well, […]

Believe it or not, the ATM or ‘Cash Machine’ is 40 years old today.
The Cash Machine was invented by John Shepherd-Barron, a Scotsman, and the first one was installed on the 25th of June 1967 in Enfield, north London. This machine was installed in a branch of Barclays Bank and enabled customers […]

Well, we’re getting close to the end of the public comment period on the revitalization of Swansea Bay (comments due by the end of June). You might recall I mentioned this plan in a previous article.
Moving into the consultation process will give us some exhibitions - that should help everyone visualize what’s in the […]

Now this I think is just terrific! Arts in Action will be sponsoring an exhibition of art at Swansea’s Guildhall in June and July. The exhibition will include art from young pupils in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot as well as artists and designers in their final year of study at Swansea Institute […]

Isn’t that the wrong country? (Although it did prove a nifty way to gain independence from England.)
Well yes, but it’s not quite the same thing. Swansea is holding their second annual “Independents Day” on the 4th of July and I doubt you’ll see many participants tossing tea in the bay; especially considering they’re […]

Brought to my attention by ForumWales member nant y mynydd in this post, Paul Potts from Cardiff is a stunning singer!
Paul is appearing on the ITV TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” and sang Nessun Dorma in his first appearance. Watch the video below - put your volume up high! His performance is amazing […]

Until a few days ago I was blissfully ignorant of the laundry list of accusations against Mike Cuddy for some alleged crooked dealings:

Committing a criminal offence by installing his wife as a front for himself as director of Neath Rugby Limited;
Forging his wife’s signature on documents
Making secret profits from player deals;
Reaching an […]

But I have to hand it to the British government for managing to best everyone when it comes to outsourcing.
In the midst of the mountains of paperwork required to attend university in Wales, there is a wee requirement for a UK Visa. The authorities have provided an easy-to-use, relatively quick online application process that […]

What? Hang on… Four feet, surely five toes per feet?
No, okay, what? Cats usually have, and this is news to me, 18 toes: five on their front paws, four on the rear. But in Wales, or Felindre to be more exact, there’s a cat with 26 toes. (Cue the X-Files music)
Apparently, […]

Beep beep bbbeeep beep… hello, this is Rhondda calling…
