A big ‘Happy New Year’ from all at ForumWales!
Have a great night and good luck in 2008.
Let us know what New Year resolutions you make and then let us know in a few months (or weeks) time if you’ve stuck to them. We know that we’ll be making, and breaking, a few resolutions.

Quick Change Artists

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

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.

Wow! Dylan Thomas Really Got Around

Friday, December 28th, 2007

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.

Time to Play

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

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 […]

Welsh Place Names

Monday, December 10th, 2007

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 […]

Your round at the bar…

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

… 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, […]

Powers of Ten

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Well, I’ve never seen this film before but I sat here tonight engrossed in it. It really puts things into perspective.
An excellent film.

Pobol y Cwm

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

I can’t figure this out. I spent the afternoon listening to the Ospreys vs. London Irish on S4C. A fairly good game for a slaughter and the commentary was all in Welsh. Mind you, I don’t understand a whole lot of Welsh yet, but I did manage to get a bit of […]

Weird Wales?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Here’s some fun from the Evening Post for Halloween. And you can be a part of it. Know any weird websites? If so, drop them a note and they may add it to their own list. And they’ve found some really fun stuff.
Like animations? Remember the 60’s? Check out […]

Cardiff Made the Board!

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Yahooo!! We not only got Cardiff on the Monopoly map but Cardiff Airport as well. You can see the results here.

Good Luck Arwen

A hearty ‘good luck’ to ForumWales moderator Arwen! Today she flies to Heathrow from California to then travel onwards to Wales. Arwen is making the move to study Welsh at Swansea.
FW wishes her the best of luck in her new Welsh adventure and hopes that she enjoys her course and her time in […]
