The Crystal Palce - The huge Welsh Connection - Learn Something about Cymru/Wales. Myself, believe now all this 'Byd Eisteddfod' is making up for the decline in Religion, in effect 'Yr Hen Iaith' has become the faith and the 'Welsh Language Industry' the new Welsh Religious Movement with all these poets full filling role of Preachers, as for Yr Urdd and that Gonk am still thinking about that, maybe a symbolic alternative to babi Jesus? Where does 'Y Crachach Newydd' and 'Media Crachach' and not least 'Y Gorsedd' fit into this theory which looks to me as being all a bit of hankering back to a Catholic Cymru of the Saints? Begging the question, would I ever want to live again in a Cymru/Wales under this lot. Think not, unless the Wales part was seperated from the Cymru part or at least Glywysing went it's own way with out so many 'Gogs' in Caerdydd for starters, they going back to Cymru would help halt the coming Mewnlifiad Fawr. Problem is too many Plant Crachach prefer Cardiff to Cardigan, Carmarthen or Caernarfon.

Not particularly Religious myself, nor either much religion in family back ground. Though Mam sent me off to Chapel Sunday School and once did her nut when I turned 'traitor' and went off to the Anglican Sunday School just to get a straw cross, what was I thinking of? Anyway, even I feel sad about all the empty decaying Chapels in Wales, why not turn them into Young Peoples Lodges similar to the one that Yr Urdd have down Pentre Ifan way. Less money given to the poets and others of limited use in the 'Arts and Farts' area, both Languages could fund such Chapel Lodges and create employment and make money in a number of ways via Cafes and B&B's whatever? Someone think on this and why not all the Menter and Antur Iaith get on to this, but forget the Gonk ok! and go light on Poets, instead get in skills trainers and be big on Allotments and Urban Gardening etc. Go into partnership with Cyreeneans maybe:

Now if attending this event, if you really consider your an hard case Patriotic Boozer, to earn your Patriots Pissed Medal, you got to do the 'Swansea Strip'. Just Follow the 'Swansea Strip' trip marker, look down and away you go. 

Starting off at the Lamb, see Defatty Flats behind well known Swansea Landmark and also well known to the Police. So, I am told two 'Jump Off' suicides this year, both Women. Yes, the Lamb is closed but meet up others who are up for the 'Swansea Strip' Patriots Piss Up Medal challenge (To be handed out at Tafarn Llywelyn, Cilmeri in December). Bring a can, wind each other up and get the rules clear, just one pint in each pub and after drinking up, one item of clothing to be taken off and handed to your 'Bag Man/Women'. Then off to next Pub, first Pub being The Duke and last being the Strand, for full Pub/club listing see Pwca Power Blog next week.

I say Ironic as Swansea was once an huge Religios Centre and a Missionary capital of World.

Some Good News, it looks as if the 'Down in the Shire' Tolkien Festival is no more, left Machynlleth now hopefully Council will get down to organising a proper Glyndwr Festival and lets hope any Tolkien Fest Organisers will stick their 'Shire' somewhere in England where it should be. But just tell me why you lazy bloody boring Welsh 'Usual Suspect Arts and Farts', none of you as the immagination or is it a matter of Guts and Gumption to hold an annual Gwyl Mabinogion preferably close to Ynys Tawe. Why? find out why! Go on web and forget about screwing more money out of Cadw and Cultural Olympiad, get an Independant Mind oh yes Jump out of 'Bocs Eisteddfod' and certainly STUFF SHAKESPEARE FREE YOUR MIND OF CEREBRAL CULTURAL  COLONIALISM.
