My lovely wife will be appearing on the telly on Bank Holiday
Monday, 5th May 1997.

Sadly, it's on a cable-only programme called "First Taste" on
Carlton Food channel (hoho) at 1.30pm.

I'll remind you nearer the time, so you can set your videos.

Out of interest, how many miscreants can receive this channel?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Italian pasta dish, like 'tagly-only'.

I would imagine that she'll recommend it wholeheartedly.
Especially for vegans.

That's REAL and not PLASTIC spam?

Why? Is it full of B12?

No, we had the poster "Visit Powys, mae hi'n wych!" Their excalmation, not
mine.

Such rules as:
No close harmony singing.
No chairs.
No dancing with flowers in ones hair.

At least S4C has tried to make it more hip in recent years, like
conducting interviews with Welshpop stars in a mangy bus spray paint.

What did happen to that bloke who left Heno to go to L!ve TV?

Hah. I've been to... erm... 8 or 9 eisteddfods staying between 4-9
nights and I've yet to see any of these (OK, flowers/hair, yes, but
at 4am).

>What did happen to that bloke who left Heno to go to L!ve TV?

Rhodri Ogwen, I presume? I saw him prancing about on a documentary
about JS-P's time at L!ve, and lo! and behold, I spot him doing exactly
the same thing (same tights too, if I'm not mistaken) on C5 last week.

Sorry Rhods, but even Heno's better than C5 daytime.

That's the bunny.

I've seen it, but I don't think we had it on the wall. Found it a bit
patronising meself, whilst my farmer friends just moaned that it didn't
say whether it was a Massey Ferguson or a John Deere.

Funny, I can't think of a single definition of the word 'gwych' under
which that sentence wouldn't breach the Trade Descriptions Act.
