Hello RADIO JEM, I hope you aren't getting over excited today?

All getting to be VERY exciting! I'll be back later on for the BIG game.

Cyprus Pat..... thanks for the pom poms yet again. You are so good keeping them all safely for each game AND choosing the correct colours too...... clever girl!!

I am not practicing the Welsh Anthem just yet, because I have to sit and read the words and right now I am making mud pies with our little 2 yr old gt nephew while his Mum and Dad sort out their caravan after coming home from a weeks holiday and could do without little ones "help", ha ha. Happy Days! Be back later on though.

Most Rugby Fans know that Jamie Roberts is phenomenal on the playing field...

but do they know that he is actually A QUALIFIED DOCTOR?

No commentary from me as such. Just scores, highlights and company!

Hiya FRED FLINTSTONE aka SHAUN MAGICWALES :-D :-D :-D<3

The Welsh man living just on the wrong side of the border, with an Irish name! :-D :-D :-D :-D

How are your toes Shaunnie? :-) :-) :-)

Who among you remember this one?

It was recorded in 1968

It's sung by a Welsh Songbird who found fame as a winner of Opportunity Knocks

This singer went on to represent UK on 7th March 1970 in the Eurovision Song Contest where she was pipped to first place by Ireland's DANA

YES IT'S MARY HOPKIN and THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Hope for a good match whoever wins. Saw some of last night's a bit 1 sided so didn't watch much.

Looking forward to tonight. Another match finishing near midnight. We normally go to bed just after midnight so it won't be too late.

Will practise this afternoon as I'll have to do lots of twirling for both sides.

Sending Kandj both red and white pompoms so she can support both sides if she wants. I bet she's practising the Welsh anthem at the moment. :-D

i'm up and running, well hopping:-0
it's him in the cave :-)
oggy oggy oggy oi oi oi :-)
i know cos i was there :-)

fred flintstone ;-)

Receiving you loud and clear from Cyprus, Pat :-D :-D :-D <3

Well done! :-D :-D :-D

To mark a BIG DAY in the Rugby World Cup 2015....

..... Radio Jem will be broadcasting throughout the day with pre-match entertainment in connection to today's teams!


WE'LL "KICK-OFF" AS USUAL WITH RADIO JEM'S THEME TUNE!!! ;-) :-D

YES!!! .... IT'S .....

YMA O HYD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjFHqMxLGjg



All Welsh and Honorary Welsh or of Welsh Descent can practice the chorus ;-) :-D :-D

Here's the chorus!

Yma o hyd,
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.

which translates to....

Still Here!
We are still here
Despite everyone and everything
Despite everyone and everything
Despite everyone and everything
We are still here!
We are still here
Despite everyone and everything
Despite everyone and everything
Despite everyone and everything
WE ARE STILL HERE!


AND LET'S HOPE WE CAN SAY THE SAME FOR THE WALES TEAM AT THE END OF THE POOL STAGE!
:-D :-D :-D
