In view of all the negativity surrounding the Welsh squad of late it’s lovely to see something positive going down on the Welsh rugby front.
James Hook has been awarded the Rugby Writers Association Player of the Season award. An award well deserved by a sensational player.

Well, I hope you all noticed that I refrained from commenting on the perfectly horrible rugby match this past weekend. Although I must say that after reading Gareth Jenkins’ pre-game comments I didn’t hold out much hope. I mean what can you expect when the coach says “IF we can……”
Perhaps things will be […]

In an effort to improve carrying capacity on South Walian trains, the lengthening of platforms at 42 stations got underway this week.
Starting in Pontypridd, the £13.2 million revamp has already caused problems for travelers with many left standing about Taffs Well station waiting to be bused into Cardiff. And we all know how I […]

Who? What? Brechfa? That was my initial response. I’d never heard of the village of Brechfa until I was pointed towards the Brechfa village website, run by… an anonomous webaster (Let us know your name! Post in the comments below!).

Hmm, £34,000. Just think what you could do with that! Well, John Butterly from Flintshire spent a little more than that of his employer’s money to buy, among other things, TVs, clothes, audio equipment and a fridge freezer.
As an education officer for British Waterways, he’d been given a company credit card to by […]

I’ve driven along the M4 motorway for years now. As far back as I can remember the M4 has been a major part of my life getting me to and from the Christmas shopping, getting me through my degree course, getting me to employment and getting me home to family and friends.

I love that man! He uses Welsh whenever possible and coming from someone in his position, that goes a long way toward promoting the language.
Last night I was watching Chef Robert Irvine pull off another miracle Dinner Impossible. I love to watch Robert. The first time you see him you expect he’ll […]

This is the big question of the day. It seems rugby hero Gavin Henson may not be keeping his lips to himself these days.
Although I can think of a multitude of sins greater than kissing a shop assistant, if he did it, (and rumors certainly suggest he did), it’s rather tacky considering Charlotte […]

OK, I’ve got one for you. I love this game. It’s from Wheelhouse Creative in the U.K. Go to this page and scroll down until you see the one called Toaster. Great art, snappy music and extremely addictive.
You can also get to it here (their old URL for the game). […]
