Harold, you might like to look at a BBC blog about Red Button (it's a sort of interactive service provided particularly for sports). www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2012/10/red_button_changes.html
Enjoyed The Story of Wales again tonight. I know Pen-y-Bryn manor from way back in the 70s when some friends of the family lived there and my parents and I stayed there for a night or two. I could kick myself for not having any pictures of it though and all I can really remember is having dinner in the big entrance hall which they used as their dining room. I was hoping that we'd see more of the inside of it but of course it wouldn't have been relevant to what Huw was telling us.
Ooer, probably not! I wouldn't mind the cave at Paviland because you can see out but I can't bear being anywhere where I can't see outside. I've just been to the Bronze exhibition at the Royal Academy and I wondered if any of the ancient artefacts there were made with copper and tin from our homeland. There were items up to 4000 years old there.
There's no way I could go into the mines - I have a horror of caves.
I enjoyed The Story of Wales this evening, especially the CGI reconstructions, some of which showed just how big Isca was. The new excavations there should prove very interesting. The copper mines beneath The Great Orme were also very interesting. The hardback book is currently available from the BBC shop www.bbcshop.com at 11.20 (cheaper than Amazon) instead of 20.
As it's out of stock on HMV currently, I'll have a look in Siop y Pentan next time I'm in Carmarthen.
I'm in London, Christopher. I'll check out the HMV site.
I looked up Mine all Mine on Amazon and the DVDs are hideously expensive (60). Strangely I have no memory of it whatever although in one of the reviews someone mentions a rival sitcom called Blackpool which I do recall (I didn't actually watch it). It seems odd that I don't remember something with Griff Rhys Jones as I usually watch anything that he's in.
But are these vegetables actually edible? I get the impression that they're not really.
Chris, did you look at lulu.com? I realise that your book is in full colour so it would be more expensive to produce than a normal novel but they do ensure that your book is on as many online stores as possible, including Amazon. I sympathise with your frustration at being ignored by publishers!
