The story of Gelert!!

Many years ago, in a castle in the county of Gwynedd, lived a prince called Llewelyn.
He loved his dog, that accompanied him everywhere. The prince had also a son, a swaddling babe whose mother had died in childbirth.
One day, Llewelyn and his men were preparing to go out hunting and the baby lay fast asleep in his cradle, that was

covered with warm furs and Gelert stayed with the baby.

It was late when the prince returned home and he was tired, but as he entered the room he behed a terrible sight. Furniture lay upturned, tapestries had been ripped from their hangings and the baby’s cradle lay empty on the floor.
He looked down and he saw Gelert, so he killed the dog, thinking that he killed his son.

But, as the dog slumped to the ground, the prince heard a soft whimpering from behind the upturned cradle.
He picked up his son, alive, and he saw a huge wolf lying dead on the floor.
Then, he understood: Gelerts wanted to protect his son.

Gelert's body was buried outside the castle walls, close to the river. 
The stone slab, inscribed with his name, still marks the grave and the village nearby still carries the name "Beddgelert" - Gelert's grave.

Selfie phenomenon

The origins of the selfie go back to 2003 when Myspace was the new thing and for people to see who they were talking to so they put a picture of them as profile pic.




Taking selfies today is considered the most important thing to do, while eating called "I Eat, there for i am" and some of us so the do the "show you my good side" selfie, that is taking a picture of our self's but with a part of a body being the main attention. Then there is the "bed selfie", we take them n bed while we are sick or something. During the summer mostly girls take a selfie of their legs while they are tanning.

 The most common selfie is the one we take in the bathroom and most of the times they are ridiculous. When we meet a celebrity we want to shoe people, so we take "I saw a celebrity" selfie, for them it might be uncomfortable but we admire them so we want to make that a memory.




The most known selfie is the duck face selfie and I really don't like it. I don't always take a selfie but when i do i delete it because I don't like it, but when i do i put it on Facebook.

Politically Correct

There is a new way to say prostitutes and it's "sex workers", a new way to say that people are fat, "horizontally challenged" and bald "hair disadvantaged". All these terms are used thanks to the "THE OFFICIAL POLITICALLY CORRECT DICTIONARY AND HANDBOOK", political correctness (adjectivally, politically correct, commonly abbreviated to PC) is a pejorative term used to condemn language, actions, or policies as calculated to offend or upset any group of people in society. The term had only scattered usage prior to the 1990's, usually as an ironic self-description, but entered mainstream usage in the United States when conservative author Dinesh D'Souza used it to condemn to what he saw as left-wing efforts to advance multiculturalism through language, affirmative action, opposition to hate speech, and changes to the content of school curriculums. The term came to be commonly used in the United Kingdom around the same period.

Scholars on the political left have said that conservatives and right-wing libertarians such as D'Souza pushed the term in order to divert attention from more substantive matters of discrimination and as part of a broader culture war against liberalism; they have also said that conservatives have their own forms of political correctness, which is generally ignored.

Other terms of the political correctness are:

midget = vertically challenged 
fat = horizontally challenged 
perverted = sexually dysfunctional 
alive = temporarily metabolically abled 
Negro = African American 
Indian = Native American 
Anyone from Central America, South America, or the Carribean = Hispanic 
body odor = nondiscretionary fragrance 
dishonese = ethically disoriented 
gay = different 
wrong = differently logical 
dead = living impaired 
pregnant = parasitically opressed 
fired = laid off 
poor = financially inept 
homeless = residentially flexible 
tall = person of height, garbage-man = sanitation engineer,  blind = visually challenged              Taken from here (Urban dictionay)

Chicken Noodle Soup

500ml chicken stock                               250g fresh noodles

1 chiken brest                                           50g sugar-snaps peas

1 tablespoon of soy sauce                         50g fine beans
30g of baby corn

Heat the chicken stock in a saucepan. In a frying pan, cook the strips of chicken without any oil until they have lost their rawness, giving them a stir frequently, and then add the soy sauce to the hot pan of chicken, letting it bubble down a little before tipping the contents of the frying pan into the saucepan of hot stock. Bring the frying pan to the boil and add the baby corn, noodles, sugar-snaps and fine beans cut in half. Let the pan come back up to the boiling point and let it cook for a minute or so, so that the noodles are warmed through and the vegetables tender but still crisp.
