A harrowing rescue was pulled off by the coastguard off the cliffs above Rhossili this past week when Jess, one sheep and a taxi driver suddenly found themselves with a beautiful ocean view from their less-than-desirable vantage point halfway down the cliff face.

All those film trailers that you’ve sat through, the deep voice, the menace, the tension… Now meet the man behind the voice! Quite a funny video here showing the man himself, Don LaFontaine:

Think again!
Whilst researching my response to a thread on ForumWales recently regarding personal space, I stumbled upon a website that discussed body language. An embedded link led me to a page about human pheromones. They’ve gotten some interesting results through various studies:

Happily I just got this CNN update in my inbox. They didn’t give any more information but here’s a quote of the post:
“Abducted BBC reporter Alan Johnston is released in Gaza after more than 100 days in captivity, The Associated Press and Reuters report.”

Steve, our blogging comrade over at Cymru66, has apparently been on ‘home turf‘ recently.
In addition to relaxing at such places as Hay-on-Wye, Penarth, St.Fagans and Cardiff Bay, he’s also taken part in a 10k race in Llanelli (Steve’s a running nut - a bit like me, but he seems to have more will power!).

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 […]

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 […]
