We’ve talked for months in Sprout Editorial Group Meetings about getting something like this up and running on theSprout and here it is, welcome to The Wall.

Post stuff here that doesn’t fit anywhere else on theSprout. Got a smidgen of news that won’t make a full story? Whack it on the wall. Seen a cool video? Whack it on the wall. Got something to say but no time to write? Whack it on the wall!

Do you see what I’m getting at? Good, now scroll on down and let’s get walling.

FYI this will usually reside beside the scrolling pictures at the top of the home page, where you currently see Aunty Sprout as well as news and events buttons.

To kick things off I'm going to post probably my favourite youtube video of all time. Keep an eye out for Napoleon Dynamite at 3:01 minutes in.

That video's amazing! We should have a Sprout dance off. I know one Sprouter who has got moves like this... in fact he was once filmed doing an amazing tribute dance to Beyonce's Single Ladies... but which Sprouter was it?

I'm reasonably confident you've never seen me dancing! Unless it was in Metros, but if that was the case it was unlikely to be Beyonce...

Sherman Cymru is looking for an interesting space for the third week of Cardiff performances of Philip Ralph’s The One Eyed Man Project.

The One Eyed Man Project is an intimate improvised one man show, which will be performed throughout May and June in Cardiff.

The space needs:

to accommodate 8-15 people, preferably on ground level or accessible to a lift
to be available 22 -24 June from 6–10 pm
to be located in the city of Cardiff (not outskirts)
Maybe you have a large living room or a large kitchen? Or even a garage? Or just a free large space, if so, contact us.

For more information please contact Kate.Perridge@shermancymru.co.uk

How's this for a new feature: Flick Flak mini! Just seen the Hangover 2 but don't have time to write a feature review so: it's more of the same as the first, but lacking that vital surprise factor. When the first film arrived we didn't know the characters, that they would say bizarre things and be faced with surprising cameos. Now we know the characters, and they are still likable, but the film now has to rely on the absurd situations they get into, and this doesn't work so well. Still very crude and gross in places, the film gets a few chuckles for the characters' reactions, but largely I didn't find it anything like as funny as the first, and in general the audience didn't make a whole lot of noise for it.

Because on this wall especially, as time goes on it's going to take a fair amount of scrolling to reach the recent stuff! I know it's not a massie issue but if it's easy to change it might be handy!

Commented 11 months ago - 9th June 2011 - 12:31pm

I think the building itself doesn't look that bad, I'd agree with the person who called it a 'missed opportunity' though- I really like a decent, interesting bit of architecture and that's nothing like it. However my real issue is with where it's going to be! On that nice bit of park in front of Cineworld!? What at the moment is an open, airy, bright area where people sunbathe and stuff, is going to be really dark and cramped and overshadowed. The owners of the Italian restaurant on the corner must be annoyed too, at the moment thats a nice place to sit and eat.

What do you reckon? Metronomy is my favourite of the year so far, which means it probably won't win.

73 Dead In Football Riot.

The riot in Egypt happened during a game between Egyptian sides Al Ahli. (one of the country's most successful clubs.) Also Al-Masry.

Ahli player Mohamed Abo Treika was one of the players to compromise the violence to "war" as Masry fans invaded the pitch after the referee blew the whistle to a 3-1 win.

"This is not football. This is a war and people are dying in front of us. There is no movement and no security and no ambulances," Shouted out Abo Treika when the Masry fans violated the football pitch. 73 People died and thousands were injured.

Quidditch

There's a new sport being played in Britain: Quidditch, the fictional ball game from the Harry Potter books.

To play the game, opposing teams of seven have to put ‘quaffles’ into hoops while avoiding dodgeballs known as ‘bludgers’. The flying ‘snitch’ is played by a neutral player dressed in yellow with a tennis ball in their waistband. In the absence of flying broomsticks, players have to run around with sticks or brooms between their legs.

I was reading up the other day about phobias, right so phobias are when you are really scared of something and cant bare to be anywhere near them. I myself have a phobia of spiders and crabs, but in between the middle with a sort of phobia of small spaces and being hated. I gathered up information that one of the most common phobia is arachnophobia which is a phobia of spiders (I'm really scared of them! :( ). I was just wondering what phobias do you have?

Are video games good for you?

Video games are said to be the best way to pass time, but then so is a really enjoyable book. Anyway my point is are video games good for you?
No they are not.
But it is proven that it could cure some illnesses, for example...
A good game of Sonic could cure a bad stomach, simply because it takes your mind off it.
But if you play video games all the time, you could get un healthy and lazy.
Would you rather being un healthy and sickness often, or healthy and very active? I know which one I would rather.
