The scholarship is a great idea. Here in Oregon of course we could look at doing something along the same lines with reference to Meriwether Lewis.Diolch for reminding us of todays grim anniversary. Its too easy to forget. As a boy living in Pontypool at the time I remember the horror and outrage that gripped the valleys in the wake of the disaster. I also remember hearing about the magnificent community response. At one time they were turning voluteers away because they simply had more offers of assistance than they could use. Theres a lesson for us all there I guess..
For my part I am happy ( or perhaps I should say willing ) to take a dip for St David on March 1st. If I'm going to wade into the Willamette in my underpants with other like minded individuals and stand in the icy polluted waters staring heavenward for a few minutes ( or until my toes turn blue ), I'll want to be sure and certain that its going to attract attention though. I like the idea of doing it on a national scale. Hows about starting a group on here to attract as many participants as possible and whip up national publicity. We'd be more than happy to help in any we can.What other cities do you currently have plans in?
MISSING LINKs FOUND IN YNYS MON
General Discussions ( Anything Goes )
i would like to confirm these findings. After more than half a century of research in the dive bars of Cardiff I am pleased to announce that the missing link has been found.They are indeed from Ynys Mon! I have no idea what primitive ancestry they connect us to but suffice it to say that they are the genuine article.According to Oregon State Law they must write releases before I can discuss these unique specimens further.Sadly neither one of them has been able to leave the bar for long enough to do this hitherto.Our research will continue. Tomorrow I am bound for the hinterland,...yes ...Pontlottyn...we are utterly fearless.

If you've got 100 bucks to spare mate...bung it in our widget fund. I guarantee it will all go where its needed. On the technical issue...I have looked at some embeddable alternatives, the problem being that they would all require separate logins. I'd be happy to run one of them as an experiment if you think its really warranted?
BUNDLING. Are you for it or agin it.

In keeping with our venerable traditions and inspired by the example of our glorious leaders in Cardiff Bay the Americymru Editorial Board has convened an emergency meeting of the Extraordinary Sub Committee on Pre Marital Moral Rectitude.. After due deliberation we will deliver our official position on "bundling" later this week.

lol...on this site we are all, of course, concerned to ensure the utmost moral rectitude at all times. I must admit I hadn't heard of this tradition. Before casting my vote either way can you describe the "bolster" a little more. Sounds like it might be a bit uncomfortable.
CAN ANYONE SPEAK WENGLISH?

I remember one glorious occasion when my ex-wife ( an Oregonian ) and I were waiting for a train to take us back to home on Taffs Well station. We had just returned from walking on the Garth and admiring the "panoramic vistas" of Cardiff and the Severn Estuary. The scheduled train was late and eventually a Rhondda train arrived and pulled up at the opposite platform. The driver leaned out of his cab window and explained:-"The train wont be coming coz ituvitabucket"This is a very complex Wenglish construction. For "bucket" read "dumpster" ( god knows what it was doing on the line ) and now let us proceed to an analysis of the rest of this intriguing syntactical formulation.The single Wenglish word "ituvita" translates as " it has hit a " in English. One can only admire the marvellous economy of effort which this transformation permits. All h's are dropped to enhance speed of delivery. Also the first person is adopted instead of the third in order to allow the phrase to roll off the tongue without impediment. Of course "have" is transmuted into the much more elegant "uv".Since the English forced us to use their language many years ago, the very least we can do by way of repayment is to butcher it.
