The Wales Thread

What a fine bird Pedr certainly is -- but if he tried to "dive bomb" my chips I can assure you I'd go right off him!

And the aforementioned I'm A Celebrity Koala ident [they are koalas right? There's just a little nagging thing in my head that's not sure] was played just now, the short version.

I'm sure they look nicer with the UTV logo on them, what with all the green and that -- I'll have to keep my eye out. The break bumpers surely are bizarre!

Wow this must be a very popular thread with 17763 views and 1260 pages. I didn't realise there were so many people in Wales with an interest in Welsh TV and presentation!

TV Dragon thanks for the welcome btw.

There aren't, its just that a certain member has an "addiction" to HTV Wales News so comments on it every day and wonders out loud, so to speak, who will be presenting the late and weekend bullitens. Its really interesting - reallty!

If anyone was at Fishguard carnival last summer, it was me who was dressed up as that sodding Puffin. I had to wear orange flippers which were horrible to walk in.

Least my current job dosen't involve dressing up in crappy costumes.

Wrexhams promotion to division 2 was covered on both HTV and Granada news programmes tonight. Two goals shown on Granada but that was a poor substitute for HTV's coverage on Soccer Sunday.

catherine evan-williams is wearing the arianwen brooch from the snow spider series - probably worth quite a bit - and very collectable.

Ooo, get her with posh jewellery -- double-barrelled names and designer spider brooches, gosh she really has made it hasn't she!


I liked what Wales Today did tonight with the handing over of reports around each other. Rhun ap Iorwerth finished his Elections piece [with an interesting trip to Edinburgh to see how they feel about their Parliament], handed back to Jamie about the Capital of Culture 2008, over to Jason at the National Museum of Wales, who handed to Bob for the sport, who handed to Derek for the weather [he has new hair too], and then handed back to Jamie for the headlines recap. Gave Jamie a break anyway!

Cardiff is currently bottom of the pile in the list of the Capital of Culture thing, sadly, but you get the chance to vote for it by phoning in or voting on the BBC site –- and there’s a programme at 1930 across BBC ONE, called Clash Of The Cities.

There are a lot of Welsh programmes on BBC ONE Wales tonight, and that’s without the usual Week In Week Out slot at 1930, including a Welsh EO³ Elections programme talking to all 4 main party leaders, if you’re that way inclined at 2245, followed at 2335 with Cable TV.

Also nice to see HTV still getting behind Sian Lloyd, and I do indeed hope she does well. But a big *tut tut* at Lucy for saying that I’m A Celebrity starts tonight at 9pm, on "ITV1" Bad Lucy!
Still not got the hang of learning that website off by heart either..

Indeed SMW! Im beginning to alledgely sound like AJ on this forum!

PHEW that was hard going!

Yeah but does it really matter? What does it prove?
Come on now that argument was 2 pages ago now and it's another day. We have two new members who have shown an interest, so can we please just move on? You're now just causing more trouble.

And for the record, I never post about who is going to be the late or weekend presenter on HTV.

If you would like to tell me what you'd like me to do to improve my posts, or what you think would be better I did, or what I do that aggravates you so much, or what sort of things you'd prefer I post and write about, please by all means PM me. But please just be constructive.
Otherwise keep it off of here because I'm sure others aren't bothered about this squabble.

Does it reallllllllly matter - mayve swansea sound if you posted more on here you with news you wouldnt need me and TV Dragon to post so much.

Honestly I wonder why I bother sometimes

*Cough* Ah yeah that's right -- I think Sara's family are from Maesteg, which is near where my family are from -- getting it a touch confused there.

Hang on - I thought Sara's lot were from Llanybydder.

Arianwen is also my favourite name for a girl - either that name or Ffion. Both names I think are very mystical (plus they're welsh!!!)
