Welsh Society

I didn't, but have no fear - you're not alone in your hurting. My mum just ranted at me and my dad for fifteen minutes straight.

I had a lovely trip down to the Gower with one of my friends today. We visited some of the places I haven't been to since I was a child. It was so lovely, despite the rain. Love that area of the world

I went to Rhossili beach yesterday visiting my friend who is having a holiday in The Mumbles! I also haven't been there since I was a child! :P It's such a good feeling isn't it?

Yes! I went to Mumbles too and had fish and chips.
I've never been to Rhossili though! How do you get there? May take a trip there soon

The Valleys Is Coming!

Fresh from the success of Geordie Shore - MTV UK’s biggest ever show which was filmed in the city of Newcastle - MTV will be heading deep into the South Wales Valleys to find a group of young people from areas such as Tonyrefail and Tonypandy to feature in its next non-scripted show.

Plucked from the tranquillity of Valley life, the cast will be given the opportunity to leave their hamlet towns and change their lives in the city of Cardiff.

Over a 6 week period, audiences will watch as the youngsters balance new job opportunities in a brand new city.

However, despite their new lifestyles, ‘home’ is never far away as the cast will return to The Valleys throughout the series to visit their families and home towns – a stark contrast between the lives they’ve left behind and the new lives they are beginning.

MTV unveils cast of ‘Welsh Geordie Shore’ The Valleys


The cast of new reality TV show The Valleys

The Valleys will see nine young people from South Wales relocate to the big smoke – in this case, Cardiff – as they try to realise their career ambitions.

In much the same vein as Geordie Shore, the youngsters are to be placed in a house together and will be assigned a mentor, AK and a boss called Jordan to try and keep them focused on getting their careers off the ground.

Naturally, the expectation is that the cast will spend plenty of time getting drunk and behaving inappropriately on national television over the six-week period featured on the new series.

Hailing from traditional ‘Valleys’ areas like Tonyrefail and Tonypandy, the stars of the new show are hoping to emulate the success of Geordie Shore, which has proved to be the biggest ever show for MTV in terms of ratings.

The cast includes youngsters pursuing a variety of careers, including law and bricklaying, but the new reality show stars all seem to have one thing in common: they want to have a good time.

What do you guys think of this: http://www.golwg360.com/newyddion/cymru/81829-tair-iaith-i-blant-meddai-leanne-wood

Leanne Wood reckons kids in Wales should be immersed into learning Welsh and another foreign language from the age of three onwards so they leave school trilingual.

^I 100% agree as well. If Wales did that, we'd be far and away superior to the rest of the UK in terms of MFL learning, and that'd be fantastic. And I like Leanne Wood too; she's really good for Plaid in my opinion in lots of ways, and I really dig the socialist edge.


Aw, I'm starting to realise how much I'm going to miss Wales/Welsh at university. I'm only going to Bristol so it's not far and there'll be a big Welsh presence I imagine, but I'm still sad. I'm so used to just chatting in Welsh every day, mocking stupid things on S4C with friends, seeing Welsh signposts etc., it'll be a real culture shock being in England.

YAY! WELSHIES! I'm actually moving to london in two weeks (today!) but I'm from Bridgend and it'll be nice to have a few home comforts on here.
I'm determined to introduce everyone I live with to welsh cakes. nom nom.

We should definitely be taught Welsh more often in non-Welsh schools, I only had it once a fortnight and it really annoys me! It should have been once a day in my opinion, when your brain is like a sponge, get as much in there as possible! I hate that due to my less than adequate education in the language, I can't speak Welsh, I'm learning now but it will take me so much longer than if the job had been done properly in the first place! I really agree with Leanne Wood! I'd also be inclined to vote Plaid in the future!

I'm moving to London too

Although I'm from Maesteg, so very close

Oh cool. Are you moving to London to study? If so where are you going?
