Ioan Gruffudd & Alice Evans #98 Imbibe, post, regret, delete, rinse and repeat

[tropeonarope]

I take massive exception to this plan. Enough odd things washing up on Irish shores atm without going for a sunrise walk on the beach and finding Alice washed up like a giant guppy


But feel free to float over a raft of nobbly bobblies!

We even know what that scene would look like. She gave us a preview.

Any how at least when I married a Welshman I attempted to learn the language unlike Alice

...And that's what makes you an ambitious, thoughtful, curious, and respectful person who is willing to explore cultures apart from your own. Which is what this world needs more of.

I picture poor Leon sitting there in his office with Alice sitting opposite. he is in a straight jacket and banging his head on the wall, while she is baby talking him through thousands and thousands of screen shots from here. Telling him how mean and nasty we all are, and none of what we post is true because she is always kind and never abuses any one who didn’t deserve it, everybody wuvs her and she never lies.

Bet she is screenshotting the DM comments too.

I can see Leon filing all her screenshots in the bin.

I reckon roll her off the Florida coast and hope she washes up near Mar a Lago

So posting silly pics is brave is it Alice?

No I think BW sharing those videos was true bravery...

Sut wyt ti RTP? I’m still here and beginning to lose my mind with all the screaming kids This Eisteddfod isn’t the main one – that’s always held during the first week of August (I say ‘always’ but the pandemic has prevented it from being held the last two years).

This one right now is the Urdd national eisteddfod: https://www.urdd.cymru/en/eisteddfod/what-eisteddfod/
But yes, this one too has plenty of poetry! Reciting, but also composing it yourself. Doesn’t matter at all what your ancestry is or where you live, you’d just need to be able to perform or write your composition in Cymraeg. You’d also need to be under 25 yrs old! This is rude of me – you could well be – I need to remind myself that not everyone is as old as Alice or myself ! I feel ancient atm, 3 days in to this and with the lack of sleep and all…

But I’d say check out the main National Eisteddfod. There’s lots of different competitions and categories in that one. You’d still need to perform or write in Welsh but there are different categories depending on where you are on the ‘language journey’ as they put it.

It’s a shame that one of these events couldn’t have coincided with I&B’s time over here. I would have had my eyes peeled at all times! Ioan grew up competing in this youth eisteddfod and is a member of the Gorsedd of Bards in the ‘big one’. I’m sure they would have come if they were in Wales. Oh well. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future once he’s sorted all the current mess up I suppose.

I hope you’re ok RTP. Hate to think that that horrible article today upset you. You’re the kindest and nicest person I’ve ever met online Cariad mawr i ti, ffrind.

ETA. Elsie is wearing an Urdd t-shirt in this video (and almost all the comments refer to it).



^ I think the link works although it says it doesn’t.

Had no idea what mistar urdd was or meant so with the aid of google have just spent a delightful time learning all about him and the organisation. Absolutely fascinating, thank you so much

So Bianca documents the dates of flare up’s that could be attributed to Alice and her abuse and Alice wheels one of the kids out for sympathy.
I need help rolling her into the sea.

Here to help

Thank you sweetheart I may show him this post in the morning. I do know that I gained many Brownie points from his family for trying, and they were so kind and helpful. Welsh being my late darling mil‘s first language and my sil taught in a Welsh medium school.

 

[Caroline Of Brunswick]

I think Cymbalta is an antidepressant. Do they prescribe it for fibro? Or is she talking bs again?

Nah she’s right for once. I’m prescribed Dulexotine which is a similar medication for the anxiety my fibromyalgia pain causes me. Amitriptilene(the devil’s concoction imo-nearly went off my rocker on this one. Admittedly I was on a huge dose but never again!)is another one.

A match made in heaven hell

She has put on weight, she says she doesn’t fit in her clothes. Her choices are probably limited. The answer is to buy bigger clothes, but I have been in the same place. Not wanting to buy new stuff because any day now I will lose the weight. Plus she might not have the funds now to buy new stuff.

Don't be silly. Don't you know that she can just diet for a short time and lose it all?! Was it two weeks she said, months ago? I forget (I'm Old).

 

[Caroline Of Brunswick]

Nah, just keeping our typing speeds up for when the turd hits the fan in a few weeks.

With the countdown well and truly on I’m starting to feel like an old biddy waiting for the National link up game at Mecca bingo start! I certainly know where I’d like to shove my dobber

I reckon sales of the noble one that is Nobbly Bobbly will go through the roof in the lead up to the PRO. You can’t whack a Nobbly Bobbly

I’m actually really worried that nothing will happen like last time. I was really psyched before and then everything went pffftt.

Noooo! Let’s take a leaf out of Bianca’s book and offer it up to the universe. Positive thinking from now on-it will happen!

You’re very welcome. Thanks for your interest. Did you google the song as well? The Urdd (you already know more or less how this is pronounced precisely because Ioan didn’t “CHANGE (HIS) NAME!!” It’s like the end of Gruffudd but with an r ) celebrated its centenary back in January and all you heard was that bloody song! They went for a world record with it or something. So, I’m done with it for a while, personally

I think the fact these videos were from 2018 when she was first diagnosed and did a video diary for the doctors and has now shared some to raise awareness has been lost on many people. They say she wore lipgloss then cried with no tears. She didn’t video it for purposes of SM 3-4 years ago obviously. It is MS day she was doing it to raise awareness.

The comments are horrible. The dumb people did not even realize why she did the video, because of it being MS Day, they were just saying BW was attention seeking. That is Alice’s specialty, being an attention ho, BW was only trying to shed light on a very severe physical illness.

Yes me too. I hope he goes on with it this time. I'll be really annoyed otherwise.

ON another note, Aussie Tv is repeating Harrow. It's just started showing Liar s2 and now it's advertising Ringer. Are we seeing a resurgence of his old stuff as that new French one gets closer?

I tried to watch Liar but couldn't get into it.

thank you my dear .

I don’t think it’s a good thing.

For whatever reason, they’ve really done Bianca dirty.

The comments are brutal.

I couldn’t read them, they were so terrible. These people didn’t even realize Bianca did the video because of MS Day, they kept saying she was wanting attention. Honestly, the DM commenters are not the brightest people in the world, so I try and not pay too much attention to them.

Aaand she’s back to appropriating the Uvalde tragedy…

 

[Citney]

Alice exhibited the same upbeat mood as the last (cancelled) date for the PRO hearing loomed. She is thoroughly convinced this will be her big day of stardom...cameras, media, her precious voice being heard, a costume, the chance to display oh so many emotions. She also thinks she will win but even if not won't it be a chance to perform, to feel for one day, in one small courtroom, a STAR.

All she needs is a staircase to walk down and she could be Norma Desmond.

Also because she has an addictive personality. I have never needed to up my medication even when recovering from painful bone surgery because I don’t have the addictive tendency, thank goodness.

She gave herself away as being an addict when she said she had to “double the dose” the next day when she took pain medication. Normal people would never think of doubling the dose of a narcotic pain medication, that’s very scary. That sounded like someone who is used to taking more medication than her doctor prescribed.

Yeah, me too. More often than not in fact

All Alice needs is “two weeks” and the extra weight will be gone.

And yet she still can’t spell Uvalde correctly.
