The Wales Thread

Does anyone want some socks?

Not red, green and white by any chance, with little draigs down the side?

Well no but they're still quite bad. Am I able to bring a receipt to you? I understand you get a lot of refund enquiries at this time of year. So many people, so many gift ideas -- you surely can't get them right every time.

Although I *did* get a rather nice dragony-type mouse mat thing from someone I forgot I knew.

And BBC Wales was forced to issue its first "Warning: contains scenes of leg warmers" announcement last night. A piece of advice I did well to heed.

Well, technically you ARE, but the problem is that I've now reverted to network programme playout director for Channel TV for 364 days. Actually it's 365 days this time, because of the leap year.

If you leave the receipt out with the mince pie/welsh cake, the glass of wine/dram of single malt and the carrot for dear old Rudy, I'll refund you on my next visit, providing you don't mind waiting that long.

Failing that, could I suggest a trip to Debenhams in Swansea on Monday?

I thought reindeer were into mind altering lichen(see new scientists passim) not carrots ! Can we please approach some sort of scientific correctness in this thread , even whilst sodden with untold amounts of tinctures unknown to brewing technology ?
But Merry Xmas , you drunken lot.

Leg warmers ???
Did they specify the exact make, gender or species ?

Of course vastly inferior to the *official* Wales Thread look-back of the year, HTV news started their *unofficial* look back of the year with Lucy and Jon which lasted most of the programme. With [for a welcome change] some graphics not in the usual purpleyyellowyblueyredy style. Notice the adapted dog.

Excellent to see a section devoted especially to Peanut, in this troubled year for propaganda.

A very busy year actually, but unfortunately with a lot of tragic stories for Wales.

No mention [yet] of that Ron *squirm* Davies interview, one of the highlights of HTV's year IMO.
Here's that picture again anyway..

I see this Wales Yesterday starts on the BBC on Monday 5th, up against Coronation St -- More archive footage and news nostalgia, although I was only alive in one of the years they're featuring.

And now I'd like some sympathy please because I hurt my finger yesterday.

So where is the official review of The Wales Thread? Come on then!

Well now you see, not very much has happened on the Wales Thread itself has it, not like it seemed in the first half of the year. I was thinking more of the top quality year-in-pictures we *enjoyed* this month.

By all means if someone else fancies doing something.

So Fred, did you get anything exciting for Christmas? And by the way, now that I recently became reacquainted with the gallery, you have a certain likeness to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings, you know.

OK , we'd all like to know HOW you hurt your finger ? HMMMMM ?

Well as much as it'd be a more interesting tale if it was done during something unspeakable or to do with wrestling badgers, it was on a piece of ice. It can be very sharp you know.

Anyway speaking of look-backs of the year -- what did happen to your friend, young Not-Normal?

Funny, you're the second person to say that today. So where is the gallery then? I want to change my picture!
