After a brilliant game - well brilliant in the second half anyway - icWales has printed a story with the results of a study that was done on today’s Ospreys/Blues game.
They report that a ‘team of sports scientists’ wanted to find out just how much energy was expended by the players on the pitch and […]

When this was sent to me I thought “How exciting could this possibly be?”. But it is absolutely fascinating! I’d like to know how they do it too.

The National Library of Wales has put Dylan Thomas’ passport online for anyone interested in the man and his travels. You may view it here. I took a quick look through it and it’s pretty neat to be able to see all the places he visited during his lifetime.

Earlier this year FW Moderator Arwen took the brave step of leaving her home and life in sunny California and moved to Swansea. Living ‘the dream’ in the slightly less sunny climate of South Wales she has begun her Welsh Language degree course. Her fame continues to spread throughout the educational and social […]

If you’ve got a bit of free time on your hands over Christmas, give Wheelhouse Creative’s game site a go. It’s great fun and sadly addictive. One of my all time favorite Flash games is Toaster (about halfway down the page). You’d think the music would get annoying after a bit but […]

Well, here we are - my first Christmas in Wales and I have to reiterate: The Welsh people are positively the most warm and welcoming people in the world.
I know, I know, I’ve said this before. But it really is true! Case in point.
I’ve met several of my neighbors and […]

And here I thought he was being such a good boy. He seemed a changed man since becoming a Dad! He was right back on his game in top form and then he behaves like a juvenile delinquent on the train?
And my question for the night? If he didn’t do it, why […]

Wales has its fair share of strangely named towns and cities, the famous Llanfair PG to Cardiff’s Splot. Now you can find out all about these and more with the newly published The Dictionary Of Place-Names Of Walesfrom Gomer Press.
For example, the story behind Maenclochog, meaning “rocks sounding like a bell”, is thanks to […]

… and I’ll have a ‘Flawless’, please.
The cost of the round may be a little high. After you get the two pints of Fosters, a Guinness and a Coke for the designated driver, the bar bill will be in excess of £35,000!!! Umm, that might be because of my Flawless.
According to The Guardian, […]

The Christmas spirit is all around the town now. Banners hanging about giving the dates of special seasonal events, Christmas lights and light pole banners throughout the city and Christmas trees decorating homes everywhere.
And with school winding down for the semester and getting ready for a long holiday break, I found myself […]
