Conwy Castle, Wales
If you like castles or spectacular decaying edifices, I highly recommend Conwy castle. It was actually pretty fun to go on a bleak mid-week afternoon in January as well, as we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

I know the world moves at a quick pace these days, but do you remember that Felix Baumgartner guy who jumped from space to prove that science was cool? It … Read More
It’s the new film by Seth MacFarlane – the fellow who brought you Family Guy and Ted. So expect some bad language. Also a surprising bit of blood.
The Word of Ward has been getting a lot of attention recently (not sure why but the figures keep doubling), so to the 1000s of new unique daily visitors who missed it – I am also on twitter: @thewordofward.
I saw this all over the interweb and thought I would share just in case you missed it. I have previously posted a prank that was actually a viral promo … Read More
This was what Fuertza Bruta was all about – spectacle, sensation, and an incredibly fun interactive experience.
Arthur C. Clarke predicted a ton of stuff like satellites, fully immersive VR games, sexily voiced computers and space elevators and and so on.
Happy Christmas from the Word of Ward! And from Mrs Word of Ward! If you don’t celebrate Christmas but have a festival – then Happy Festival! If you don’t have … Read More
Jason Ward tells three true stories of fairly perilous travel.
If you like science and space exploration, you will probably have already seen the original footage of astronauts driving a buggy on the moon. If you haven’t then shame on you, but not to worry – here is the same footage but stabilised.
Of course it could be down to the fact that the thing we went to see was absolutely incredible: Danny Boyle very ably directs Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller in Frankenstein.
In a few years we will be in a science fiction-esque world with unmanned vehicles flying stuff to your front door.
Ok, I’ll keep this brief. Like the trailer. #sherlocklives pretty much explains what it’s all about. We knew that anyway as you see him at the end of the final episode of season 2. The big shock here is Martin Freeman’s/Watson’s facial hair.
Mrs Word of Ward and myself were a bit mental in that we went in October. Most of it is in September, but the Bavarians obviously decided Septemberfest sounded stupid. I highly recommend going mid-week because it can get ridiculously busy at weekends or holidays.
The Southbank also has a place for skateboarders which has been there since I was a kid. It has been there for forty years.
A friend just posted this on Facebook. It’s basically a map that shows what will happen if the sea levels rise.
When I was a nipper in the early 80s I was addicted to my Game and Watch collection. Whenever I was forced out of the flat and my away from … Read More
Finding Bigfoot or being able to levitate or seeing a ghost (when you haven’t coincidentally just woken up) would be amazing and make the world much more interesting. But sadly a tiny bit of research from a purely subjective point of view shows them to be rubbish.
This is pretty damned funny. I can only assume the people involved were brought up to speed afterward or they will now be gibbering wrecks curled up under their beds.
One thing that most bloggers do seem to agree on is that inconsistency is bad.
