1 HOUR TO GO

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BLOD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Go Myfanwy :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3

just popped out for the paper - it's a sea of red out there - bus stops full of people wearing red tops on their way into town :-D :-D :-D :-D

PERSIE!!!!! :-D :-D :-D

Lovely to see you on Radio Jem ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Come back and join us again when you can! :-) :-) :-)

PAT,
Sorry you had reception problems yesterday Pat!
I hope you will be able to receive us loud and clear over in Cyprus later :-D :-D :-D

Your cheerleading, even though your twirling could not be broadcast, shows a dedication above and beyond the call of duty! ;-) :-D :-D :-D <3


Yes, you would have loved the South Africa v Japan Game!
WHAT A SURPRISE!:-) :-) :-)

The Cherry Blossoms have only ever beaten one team, Zimbabwe, in the World Cup Tournament's history!

Having as their coach EDDIE JONES, who was one of the Springboks' coaching team in 2007 must have been a huge asset to Japan!

To see the sheer joy on the faces of the Japanese team when they realised that they had won after the clock had already gone red, was so great!
And the Japanese fans alternately crying and laughing, jumping up and down was just fantastic!

WELL DONE JAPAN! :-)

KANDJ,
Well done once again on your brilliant deputising on Radio Jem last night! :-D :-D :-D <3
I have absolutely no qualms about making your position as RADIO JEM's DEPUTY COMMENTATOR permanent! :-) :-) :-) :-)

I'm sure your singing of the Welsh Anthem's chorus will be brilliant!
I think my efforts to help non-Welsh speakers to be able to sing the anthem, may have been inadvertently confusing!

I split the words up with hyphens to emphasise sounds, but this may have made it look like there were more syllables in the word that there actually is! :-S :-D

I look forward to seeing you all for the Wales game.
I will not be covering the first game live today.
I do need to pace myself!


WALES v URUGUAY Kicks off at 2.30pm

Radio Jem shall be live an hour or so sooner for build up coverage!

Join us here to cheer on Wales <3
Or simply to enjoy a great game of Rugby Union with friends :-) :-) :-) :-)

3 HOURS TO GO

WALES v URUGUAY

Kick-Off 2.30pm

LIVE on ITV1,

and RADIO JEM ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Good Morning All

I surprised myself yesterday as I was glued to the rugby for hours so I must catch up on jobs today but I will be back to cheer on the Land of My Father's team later.

Radio Jem.....I can't get the words to fit in the verse (??) so I will be singing the chorus very, very LOUDLY. I apologize to everyone if these words aren't accurate.

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad
Tra mor yn fur
I'r bur hoff bau
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.........tra la la la la

Pat, I did my best to help radio Jem yesterday. Having a catch-up chat with her sister was much more important, family comes first imho. I WON'T be wanting her job though ha ha

The SA v Japan game had me on the edge of my seat it was amazing to watch even for me as a complete novice to rugby union. Atmosphere in the stadium was electric!!

I will do the cheer leader pom pom shaking for Wales but hope you have the service so that you can be out in front as Head Cheer Leader and I'll be there to follow you.

Left right twirl, left right twirl, left right twirl, left right twirl, left right twirl, left right twirl.

COME ON WALES!!!

Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. WALES WALES Left right, twirl, left right, twirl.Left right, twirl, left right, twirl.

Practising even though I might not see it :-( like yesterday. :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

Would loved to have seen the Japanese win.

OH says it was either

a - world and his wife on the internet all day/evening
b - CYTA working over the weekend (Cyprus BT) :-S
c - a combination of a and b.

Now we know they're putting fibre optics to the main boxes in the next village found this out Thursday. We are being promised a doubling up of broadband soon - don't hold your breath this is Cyprus - and that will get us up to a whole 16 megs :-0.

Yesterday we couldn't attempt a TV programme and our laptops were so slow it would have taken ages just to have written this. Radio is behaving this morning and we're both on our laptops so may have enough bandwidth for the TV. :-)

I will be with you if I can. Well done for yesterday, have read back. Well done Kandj for covering Jem as well as doing both our cheerleading. Don't tire yourself out Jem it's a long competition.

See you later (I hope) :-) <3

I shan't be watching NZ play Argentina..

However, was impressed that Japan beat South Africa, even Japan was impressed. As Luke Thompson said he would be sitting around forever waiting to be picked for the All Blacks and is able to do what he loves to do over in Japan.

Good luck Wales with your game ..
