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!).
So, where is it? Well, it’s located in Carmarthenshire and appears to […]

Well, even Alun Jones agrees Wales could have done a lot better on last weekend’s test. ‘It wasn’t good enough,” he said ”We’ve got high standards and we are bitterly disappointed with the way it went. We didn’t live up to our own expectations - the scoreline makes that more clear than words ever […]

The folks on the beach at Aberavon probably don’t think so - at least they didn’t Friday afternoon.
With the only public toilet facility for miles closed by rescue operations all afternoon, it goes without saying the local pubs were doing a bang up business as desperate people found their way into town and the public […]

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.
Sounds like a good sheep joke, doesn’t it?
Syd Anderson from Tycoch, the dog’s […]

A firm in Port Talbot has found a way to deal with the tons of used tyres that heretofore have found their way into gardens, empty lots and the bottom of gullies. The company uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the rubber and then, when brittle, smashes them into tiny bits for reuse. […]

Well, as hard of an act as Dave’s Sheep Poo Paper is to follow……..
The Swansea Council has had a coup of sorts by acquiring sufficient funding to build a new trail to link up the village with a circular “green walk”. The green walk is about six miles long, meandering through parks and […]

One of our members brought to light the fact that the National Botanic Gardens of Wales is in the running for the Best Environment Project! Why not give them your support as well. Heck, I’d vote for them just because they’re Welsh - it’s an added bonus that they have done such an […]

The Swansea Council has been presented with some fantastic numbers and a not-so-hard-to-make decision. Swansea projects 300 more places will be needed for pupils at Welsh Medium Primary School level in the next few years. Apparently more and more people are deciding to educate their children through the medium of Welsh and numbers […]

Funny, my automatic form filler filled in that title for me. Guess it’s not the first time I’ve had this dilemma!
Actually this time round, it’s more a case of having too much material rather than not enough. The Swansea Leader came out today and it full of interesting and exciting stuff. Well, […]

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 […]

Until a few days ago I was blissfully ignorant of the laundry list of accusations against Mike Cuddy for some alleged crooked dealings:

Committing a criminal offence by installing his wife as a front for himself as director of Neath Rugby Limited;
Forging his wife’s signature on documents
Making secret profits from player deals;
Reaching an […]
