Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 19, 2017 First language Welsh speakers were diagnosed with dementia about three years later than those who spoke only English, a Bangor University study has shown. There are about 45,000 people living with dementia in Wales. Dementia studies lecturer Dr Catrin Hedd Jones said the reasons behind the difference in diagnosis time could be due to a range of factors, but most likely your average healthy Welshman naturally sounds like a drooling dimentite, so picking out an ill person is trying at best.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 27, 2017 The Regimental Mascot of 3rd Battalion The Royal Welsh has died, the Army has said. Lance Corporal Shenkin II, a Kashmiri from the Royal Herd at the Great Orme, Llandudno, died on Tuesday aged seven. He made regular appearances at rugby internationals with his handler, Goat Major Sergeant Mark Jackson. A letter has been sent to the Queen officially informing her of Shenkin's death and also asking permission for the regiment to select a new goat. I'm thinking MPFC would be a fine selection as the Welsh goat. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,347 Posted March 13, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51882647 Feel this belongs both in the Welsh thread as well as the journalist thread. Ex BBC political correspondent John Stevenson found dead aged 68 in Aberdare Wales along with another man. Deaths thought to be unexplained rather than suspicious.

Toast 16,155 Posted October 9, 2020 Travel writer Simon Calder has 'no further plans' to visit Wales after abuse "A travel writer said he received "such intense abuse" when he suggested people visit Wales that he has "no further plans" to book a stay in the country. Speaking on ITV's This Morning earlier this week, Simon Calder listed Gwynedd and Ceredigion, as well as Belfast and Edinburgh, as places people could go. But he said he then received a torrent of abuse via email and social media." 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
