Isn’t this a pretty little thing?

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.

Be careful with this one as it’s very addictive and you’ll end up playing it for ages. You’d better try this one at home rather than at work!
This is one of those advertising ‘things’ which pop up around the internet quite frequently these days but the advertising purpose aside, they’re often great fun. This […]

Can you really have too much coffee? Most of us need coffee just to get us through the normal (normal?!) working day but they do tell us that you can have too much.
Jasmine Willis, earlier this week, helped prove the point when she ODd on espresso coffee at her parents’ shop in Stanley, NE […]

There are lots of ‘world’ clocks out and about on the Internet but here’s one with a difference. World Clock by Poodwaddle.com not only tells you the time but also gives you a full range of statistics about the world we live in.

There’s an article in today’s icWales that discusses the severity of the stress Welsh workers are experiencing. This is far from a Welsh problem - it extends around the world.
The article cites, as the main causes, long work hours, high levels of debt, the sheer stress of trying to deal with a workload that’s […]

If you’re like me then you’ve tried to carry a bottle of water with you whilst travelling and trying to keep hold of everything else: sunglasses, book, sweets, plane tickets, passport, bag, get-out-of-jail-free-card… I always have found that the bottle of water is probably the most difficult to carry but often the most important […]
