The Wales Thread

Well there were references to the Big Cat story on BBC Wales but this time concerning a very tounge in cheek report about a Jaguar car - quite ingenius for BBC wales i thought!

Ingenuity matched only by Sara's sarcasm to poor Derek -- "Really Derek, that's *very* exciting..."
No need to be rude, dear..

And isn't this text messaging and emailing Derek thing getting a bit out of hand now? Somebody from Pwllheli asking if it's going to be ok to hang out her washing tomorrow..?

Ddiolch ohwhatanight. Gobeithia enilla

You winning?

When are the results being announced?

Well, just as Jez says Ruth isn't a very hard worker, and she's been away for a while, she turned up on the HTV Weather tonight..

But, excuse me if this seems inappropriate, and it may be just my vision, but she's been pregnant for a while now, but appears not to be any more.. I hope something terrible hasn't happened to Ruth.

Maybe thats the reason why we havent seen her on screen for a while!???

Ps the Big Cat story was back on the news again today...............

DAY 20

Well I'm afraid I must have missed any news on the labrador, er big cat, but I forgot from Sunday ~

Some motorist saw him on Sunday run out in front of her, and they tried to get a helicopter out to catch him with no success. Mr Cat has still only been spotted 5 times [only once by police], and the DNA results on the hair still have yet to come back.

Nice little clip of the pre-corporate era of Wales Today as well, with Jamie from 1998. Always did love that music..

And I do hope we're wrong about Ruth as well. I guess she could've had the baby, but I'm sure she wasn't that far gone Anywho. Second guessing, that's all it is.

Maybe she's had the baby - and doing weather part time?

Or, as you said, something terrible may have happend

Actually, thinking about it, it probably isn't good news. True, she has been away for a while -- and this is a capture you posted, Jamez, on the Wales Thread on 9th December, before the Forum collapse in the new year -- so around 7 weeks ago.

First time I'd seen her for a few weeks today, and tbh she wasn't too cheery. But then, some women don't get very big do they? As I said, it's all second guessing and doesn't do any good really.

Not really sure why this thread exists. I think all of these non-subject specific threads are a bad idea as you can't tell what they're talking about without reading through them.

Why don't we just have one thread on TV Forum called 'TV presentation'!!!

I know I don't have to read it, but I am interested in TV pres in Wales and am probably missing some bits and pieces through not reading the thread.

I think you should split it up a bit. Especially if you're going to be the 4th Mod Jamez!

Well this thread is quite handy for quick comments on Wales Today and HTV News. This thread can get away with little comments that wouldn't really qualify for a thread of their own.

BBC Post Production Graphics (Media Ark I think) in London produced the idents for S4C
