Last month I revealed, as we say in the trade, that Media Wales plans to adorn the glass internal walls of its new offices with inspirational quotes.
I have now submitted my entry - the prize of a tour of Cardiff Bus Station was too great to resist.
They are:
1. "Y Gwir Erbyn Y Byd" (the truth against the world) - as used by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in his buildings.
2. "News is something somebody doesn't want printed; all else is advertising."
I think they're pretty good quotes for a news organisation although I could understand why Media Wales might not go for the latter.
If they need a third, there's Alexander Pope's " To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius and to mend the heart", the first half of which is displayed above the stage at Richmond Theatre.
I e-mailed my suggestions to the company but have yet to receive the courtesy of a reply, which probably means it's going to opt for some ghastly management speak culled from the wisdom of David Brent. What a shame.

I like that, maybe it could be the new Welsh Assembly Government Slogan instead.
Keep up the good work.
