- E-mail error ends up on road sign
Other confusing signs
"We took it down as soon as we were made aware of it and a correct sign will be re-instated as soon as possible."
The blunder is not the only time Welsh has been translated incorrectly or put in the wrong place:
• Cyclists between Cardiff and Penarth in 2006 were left confused by a bilingual road sign telling them they had problems with an "inflamed bladder".
• In the same year, a sign for pedestrians in Cardiff reading 'Look Right' in English read 'Look Left' in Welsh.
• In 2006, a shared-faith school in Wrexham removed a sign which translated the Welsh for staff as "wooden stave".
• Football fans at a FA Cup tie between Oldham and Chasetown - two English teams - in 2005 were left scratching their heads after a Welsh-language hoarding was put up along the pitch. It should have gone to a match in Merthyr Tydfil.
• People living near an Aberdeenshire building site in 2006 were mystified when a sign apologising for the inconvenience was written in Welsh as well as English.

- Introducing the Unofficial Facebook Fail Whale
On Friday, with Facebook (
) experiencing some downtime, we asked you “When Facebook Goes Down, What Should its Fail Whale Look Like?,” a reference to the iconic Twitter (
) fail whale you see when the microblogging service is having technical difficulities. We received a lot of great submissions in the comments, but had to narrow it down to two winners for the $25 iTunes gift certificates. Without further ado, here they are, with a bunch of honorable mentions after the jump:
Comments:
Seanford: A burglar’s eye mask you can print, cut out and ware to conceal your identity as you are going to have to stalk you ex-girlfriend from her bushes now instead of on-line.
- Marni: They should sell advertising on this page at a super high CPM! Maybe they’ll be the first ads on FB to see major success?

Main road reopens after landslip
The landslip affected the stretch of road at Bwlch OerddwsPart of one of Wales' main roads, which links the north and south, has reopened after being closed for five days following a landslide.
Motorists faced an 18-mile diversion after the A470 was closed in both directions between Mallwyd and Tabor in Gwynedd last Tuesday night.
- "There is no weakness in the road, it is simply that it is on the side of a mountain on a steep slope and the nature of the area is that the land above is higher."
