Blog of the day: An Early Bath

Today's pick covers a variety of sports from a Welsh perspective.

An Early Bath covers a wide range of sport from the obvious  - rugby and football - to the less mainstream ones like netball, handball and even Aussie rules football. There's also coverage of women's and disability sport. Well worth a look.

Soapbox: Think twice before getting married

Top 3 blogs pub-hopping around Cardiff

Find out where to get your fix of pool and pork scratchings with our top 3 pub bloggers.


The Pint of 45 duo are well established on the Cardiff blogging scene. Oliver and Phil have just posted their 100th review of a city pub, and say there are still many more pubs before they run out of new places to drink. Each review comes with pictures and an irreverent write-up – they consider whether the Pear Tree in Roath “is sinking into the ground or whether this is just a slightly wonky photo”, for example. Worth a read for a chuckle reading about pubs you already frequent, or to suss out where to go for the next drink.

The Cardiff pirate and a bottle of rum

But the famous Captain Morgan, who hailed from Llanrumney, might not have shivered as many timbers as he is given credit for...

Have you heard about the boy from Llanrumney who became one of the most feared pirates of the seven seas? You may not recognise the story, but you will know the name if you drink rum.

Captain Morgan. The world’s second-best selling rum carries the name of a swashbuckling Welshman who went from scourge of the Spanish fleet to favourite of King Charles II and governor of Jamaica.
