Considering BBC are showing THE match Im very surprised that the lead story for the past few days has been concerning this match on ITV Wales News!

Let's hope the ref is a bit better in this match.

Well Phillipa did very well on the lunchtime bulletin, not a SINGLE mistake! And she said she hoped we enjoyed the game, she seemed excited but not as excited as Richard Morgan was!

As Lucy wasnt on today I wonder if she is heading up to London for more presenting on ITV News/London Tonight, this weekend?

Yep - she's on the News Channel right now.

Well now this kangaroo thing's getting boring now -- why is it only ITV stations care so much about it?

Although apparently it's "definitely definitely definitely" a limping fox, with mange. HTV exclusive there.

Me and Glyn reckon that's a funny looking fox mind you.

Well it's not THAT bad - but I just don't think it should be FRONT PAGE NEWS on The South Wales Echo - really!!

The BBC also featured it but much later in the programme and just two still photos - no report or interview.

Hmm, well at least be grateful the Echo is printed on nice paper -- unlike other S Wales newspapers you could mention.

Sara said it was a wallaby, but their picture is blatantly a rubbish Cardiff fox.


The front legs are well foxish [dunno what's going on with the tail].

This is a wallaby [apparently], with silly dinosaur-esque rubbish front legs.

Did we ever catch that big cat?

I think this story is quite good really - Phillipa Meaken was great in her report on Friday evening's programme. This thread shall remain the Phillipa Thread in honour of her Laughing

And nice to see Justina Simpson reporting on this story today, looking at the pictures I can see now that the head looks like a fox.

And you all missed it when my family was on the news earlier this year with a simular story about pigs, she still has the pig you know Laughing

The only story on Welsh news that has had me in tears of laughter is a few months ago when they showed a scruffy valleys woman who pulled her rotten old teeth old with plyers on camera! Laughing Laughing Laughing

So you don't fancy renaming it the Wales thread then?

Oh while you're here young Jez, you need to have a word with your close relation Sian Lloyd. She's becoming a pest.

I've seen a promo on that foreign channel for some bobbins quiz show she's peddling. Plus she's still faffing around sofas with him off of the Good Life, she's up and down the country in her plane/caravan, she's flogging her 'quality' designer cards, she's boring everyone about *the* showbiz wedding of next year AND she's walking the great wall of China for charity.

Does she even do weather anymore[?] Anyway, she needs to go away now, so can you sort it?

I was quite enjoying the resurrection of this thread until I was reminded of that little story! YUK!

(searches to see if there are any grabs of it.....)

PS facially it appears to be a fox - but why such a long neck and tail?
Mange indeed!

This is a thread for ITV Wales News i.e. Phillipa Meaken, Sally Johnson, Lucy, Juliet, Justina etc and shall remain as such. Wink

And as Phillipa is flavour of the month at the moment, she shall remain, I think she deserves a plaque on the wall outside Culverhouse Cross studios tbh. Ms Meaken is wonderful.

Well its a bit awkward to speak with cousin Sian at the moment as im in the bad books with her, ive rather stolen her thunder I think Laughing

Question to Jez - why is your ITV region set to Granada?
