WAS up at 5.50am not by choice, but part of a grand plan of my daughter. Made her scrambled eggs on a bed of toast, parts of which ended up on the living room carpet. But the good news is that I am soon to depart for the joys of the supermarket. Random Thought: I am you you are me. I have been set free, so come and follow me. So can you see beyond you and me to the big blue sea? Simply say it through, think it long and true Its just me and you....
Wel mae'r baddondy'n dod ymlaen yn araf bach. Mi dynnais y rheiddiadur a'r hen ddellt a phlaster oddi ar y wal pared dydd mawrdd (doedd dim rhaid wneud llawer o dynnu a dweud y gwir!), a sgriwiais 'ply' hanner modfedd yn ei le er mwyn creu gwyneb gwastad ar gyfer y teils. Erbyn hyn dwi wedi gorffen y rhan mwyaf o'r teilio, ar wahan i'r ardal tu gefn i'r toiled. Mi fydd rhaid i mi dynnu'r toiled cyn gwneud hynny, ac mae'r ffaith fy mod i wedi colli rhan o'r plastwr fanna ddim wedi wneud llawer i fy helpu. Ar y cyfan dwi'n reit hapus gyda'r canlyniadau hyd yn hyn, gobeithio o fewn wythnos mi fydd y basin newydd wedi ei ffitio ac mi fydda i wedi gwblhau gweddill y 'groutio', ac mi fydd y diwedd o fewn fy...
A teenager committed suicide live on the internet, egged on by others who had logged on to see him do it.Abraham Biggs, 19, told users on a bodybuilding site he would kill himself that night and invited them to watch the live video.Those monitoring the web forum ignored his message because they assumed it was a joke. But others posted insults and even encouraged him to kill himself.Eventually as many as 1,500 signed on to see the desperate act - with some urging him to hurry up, apparently believing it a...
I just thought of this one and figured it was worth a post. I can call Quentin a sheep abuser as he was convicted of 2 charges of animal cruelty. From Wikipedia:Quentin was fined for 2 charges of animal cruelty relating to sheep on his estate. He was when he arrived back in the Commons with retorts of "BAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" by Labour...

Today's Guardian reports that the leaked British National party membership list contains the names of individuals who are former members of all the mainstream political parties in England:A former constituency chairman for the Conservatives, a former Labour prospective parliamentary candidate, and a church minister who had been at various times a Green, a Conservative and a Liberal Democrat, all went public on why they had switched parties in the wake of the leaking of a BNP members' list.Lionel Buck said he was chairman of Ashfield Conservative association in Nottinghamshire for about four years, joining the BNP two years ago. He told the Guardian: "The way the country is at the moment, there is no major party, whether it be Conservative, Labour or Liberal Democrat, looking after the...
Welsh Labour needs a profound debate about its direction, and the run-up to the leadership election next year should see a vigorous debate on our party's future role. I was proud to be involved in the Yes for Wales campaign in 1997; equally proud to win the Rhondda back for Labour in 2003; and proud to have been given Ministerial office by Rhodri Morgan last year. I have also been flattered to have been asked by many Labour Party members in Wales to consider standing for the leadership of our party in Wales. I am grateful for their confidence in me and their support. However, I want to make it clear that I do not intend to be a candidate for the leadership when Rhodri Morgan stands down next year. I am making this statement now because I do not want every Ministerial decision I make...
This morning's Western Mail publishes another letter critical of my decision to invite Patrick Jones to read his poetry in the National Assembly building, this time by a Brian Churchill of Abergele.Mr. Churchill thinks that he knows my writings and publications inside out, hence his assertion that he does not 'remember these brave outraged defenders of free speech saying anything in support of Tom Wellingham when, in 2006 he was suspended after the student newspaper he edited, Gair Rhydd published the infamous Danish images of Mohammed.'Alas, he has not carried out much research. As anybody who uses the search facility on my blog will be able to see I was equally as outspoken on this act of censorship as I have been in defence of Patrick Jones' right to free speech.On 8th February 2006 I...
Sustainable Communities Act for Wales The Sustainable Communities Act process has started! We can now drive the
actions of government to protect Post Offices, increase bus services, restrict
supermarkets, promote local renewable energy and much more. Why is this Act different? What makes it not just another consultation exercise?
This Act is not just consultation. It is governance by dialogue and
reaching agreement. Government has a legal duty to co-operate and reach
agreement on the proposals made by communities and their councils.
Councils also have a duty to reach agreement with communities regarding
the ideas they have for help and action from central government. This
is radical -
we have never before had a law like this that creates a bottom-up way of doing government.
We need...

Newydd weld hwn ar flog Saesneg Hen Rech Flin. Mae'n ddiddorol, ond mae'n cam gynrychioli pethau. Gan nad ydw i wedi darllen erthygl Rhodri Morgan, 'dwi ddim yn siwr os mai Rhodri ta Alwyn sydd wedi drysu. Efallai bod y ddau yn y niwl.Yr hyn mae Alwyn yn ei ddweud ydi y byddai Rhodri yn hoffi'r syniad o ddull PR o bleidleisio yng Ngorllewin Cymru, tra'n cadw'r drefn bresenol yn y Cymoedd oherwydd y byddai hynny o fudd i Lafur. Mae'r ddadl yma wedi ei seilio ar gam ddealltwriaeth o'r ffordd y byddai PR yn debygol o weithio.Pe byddai PR yn cael ei fabwysiadu yng Nghymru mae'n debyg mai'r dull a ddefnyddir yn yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon fyddai - STV etholaethau aml sedd.'Rwan byddai rhaid gweithredu fersiwn anarferol iawn STV iddo fod o gymorth i Lafur mewn etholiadau lleol yn y Gorllewin...
When they organise bazaars in Tredegar they don’t mess around.
Just over one hundred and fifty years ago they organised a great big Tredegar bazaar.
Heaps of money was raised.
And then over a few beers in ye olde Tredegar tavern they discussed what to do with the money raised ….
Tredegar Man - “Hey, let’s erect a 72 feet high cast iron tower, put a large bell at the end and paint it bright red so people from all around can see it from a great distance. It will put Tredegar on the map.”
Another Tredegar Man - “Yes, it will put us on the map as comedians because it will look like a 72 foot tall cast iron cock.”
Tredegar Man - “Ah, I see what you mean. A 72 foot tall cast iron cock might be funny in the short-run. Say for a few days,...

The U.N. Human Rights Council, frequently accused of coddling some of the world's most repressive governments, threw itself a party in Geneva Tuesday that featured the unveiling of a $23 million mural paid for in part with foreign aid funds.In a ceremony attended by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Spanish artist Miquel Barcelo told the press that his 16,000-square-foot ceiling artwork reminded him of "an image of the world dripping toward the sky" — but it reminded critics of money slipping out of relief coffers."In Spain there's a controversy because they took money out of the foreign aid budget — took money from starving children in Africa — and spent it on colorful stalactites," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch.**It would appear that the head of the UN one...
