-Do you like to go out

-to eat in restaurants?

-It's an expensive pastime.

-When I go out to eat with friends...

-..I study the menu carefully.

-It's hard to choose!

-I never know what to order.

-Choosing food from a menu

-is like choosing a wife.

-Do you know why?

-It doesn't matter what you pick,

-you always fancy what your mate had.

-That's perfectly true.

-Are there any farmers here?

-One!

-They're all home, working hard.

-Fair play to them.

-It doesn't matter

-where farmers go...

-..they always order the same meal.

-Soup, steak,

-and rhubarb crumble with custard.

-That's what we order.

-I ordered my food.

-The waiter served our starter.

-His thumb was

-in my leek and potato soup.

-I ate the soup.

-The same waiter brought my steak.

-His thumb was under the steak.

-Farmers don't like to complain.

-Then he arrived

-with my rhubarb crumble.

-His thumb

-was in the rhubarb crumble.

-Ugh!

-"Excuse me," I said.

-"I'm not one to complain.

-"Your thumb has been in my food.

-"It's horrible!

-"What's the reason for it?"

-Do you know what he said?

-"I have thumbosis.

-"My doctor says I have thumbosis.

-"I have to keep it warm.

-"It's a type of arthritis

-and I have to keep it warm."

-"What do you do when you're

-not serving food?" I asked him.

-"I stick it up my nose," he said.

-Anglesey originally.

-# Some enchanted evening

-# You may see a stranger

-# You may see a stranger

-# Across a crowded room

-# And somehow you know

-# You know even then

-# That somewhere you'll see her

-# Again and again

-# Some enchanted evening

-# Someone may be laughing

-# You may her hear laughing

-# Across a crowded room

-# And night after night

-# As strange as it seems

-# The sound of her laughter

-# Will sing in your dreams

-# Who can explain it?

-# Who can tell you why?

-# Fools give you reasons

-# Wise men never try

-# Some enchanted evening

-# When you find your true love

-# When you feel her call you

-# Across a crowded room

-# Then run to her side

-# And make her your own

-# Or all through your life

-# You may dream all alone

-# Once you have found her

-# Never let her go

-# Once you have found her

-# Never

-# Let her

-# Go #

-I'm a farmer.

-I moved to a smallholding

-three months ago.

-It's near The Sportsmans Arms

-on the Denbigh moors.

-Do you know where it is?

-What a place!

-There's nothing

-but snow and crows there.

-It's right on the top.

-It's only a small place.

-My nearest neighbour

-is five miles away.

-Yes, five miles away.

-I'd been there for three weeks,

-minding my own business.

-There was a knock on the door

-one evening.

-A big bloke stood there.

-He was six foot, eight inches tall.

-"How are you, wa?" he said.

-I thought he was from Bodffordd.

-"How are you, wa?" He was from Bala.

-"I'm your neighbour.

-"You're new to the area."

-"Yes, I moved in three weeks ago."

-"I thought so.

-"In this area,

-because we live so far apart...

-"..we throw a party

-when someone moves in."

-"That sounds good," I said.

-"We want to have a party for you

-a week next Saturday," he said.

-"What'll happen?" I asked.

-"Don't mention it.

-"We'll have a barbeque.

-"And we'll be drinking.

-"We'll be dancing.

-"Then we'll be kissing.

-"And canoodling.

-"That sort of thing," he said.

-"What should I wear?" I asked him.

-"Whatever you like.

-Only you and me will be there."

-Our next act are members

-of Theatr Fach Llangefni.

-I'm warning you now.

-Be careful during the item...

-..especially you in the front.

-Watch out.

-You have been warned.

-Please welcome Richard and Dafydd!

-Thanks Richard and Dafydd.

-I couldn't sleep the other night.

-I heard a noise outside

-in the early hours.

-There were two cats...

-..a tomcat and female cat...

-..having fun.

-They were making a racket

-and meowing.

-I tried to go back to sleep.

-The meowing continued.

-I knew if I went out,

-the cats would disappear.

-I decided to phone the vet.

-"Hello, Mr Jones. I can't sleep,"

-I said.

-"What's the matter?"

-"There are cats mating outside.

-"They're meowing and screaming.

-"How can I stop them?"

-"Do you have a mobile phone?" "Yes."

-"Take the mobile phone out

-to the cats."

-"Eh?!" I said.

-I took my mobile phone outside.

-"What now?" I asked him.

-"I'll phone you back.

-"Put the phone by the cats.

-"It'll stop them mating.

-"Put it like this. It stops me."

-We have a young choir

-from Anglesey next.

-They formed a year ago.

-They've been successful

-in eisteddfodau.

-As a tribute

-to the late Rhys Jones...

-..they're performing

-one of his melodies.

-Led by Catrin Roberts,

-accompanied by Gwawr Ifan...

-..please welcome Cor Esceifiog,

-singing the classic, O Gymru.

-# You're the only country for me

-# Oh Wales

-# You fill my heart with joy

-# You're my heaven

-# Oh Wales, oh Wales

-# I'd give you my life

-# Oh Wales, oh Wales

-# You are my heaven

-Who has travelled by train recently?

-Have you?

-Is there a station in Caernarfon?

-I'm not sure.

-Is there one in Anglesey?

-Is there one in Anglesey?

-

-Yes.

-I've had problems.

-I'm not going by train again.

-I travelled overseas to France once.

-I was on a train.

-I'd paid for my ticket.

-A porter came by.

-He said...

-PRETENDS TO SPEAK FRENCH

-"Ticket?"

-I gave him my ticket.

-He said...

-PRETENDS TO SPEAK FRENCH

-I said, "Yes."

-PRETENDS TO SPEAK FRENCH

-"Oui, oui, oui!"

-I said, "I've just been."

-PRETENDS TO SPEAK FRENCH

-I said, "Alright. How are you?"

-He returned the ticket

-and left in a huff.

-The train set off, at speed.

-A bloke nearby said, "You don't

-understand French, do you?"

-I replied, "No. Why?"

-He said, "I thought so.

-"You smiled when he said

-you were on the wrong train."

-I remember another journey

-on a crowded train.

-There was a very posh

-woman sitting nearby.

-Very posh!

-She had a small poodle.

-She put it on the seat next to her.

-An 83-year-old man came in.

-He had a bad back.

-There was nowhere to sit.

-He asked the posh woman...

-"..Would you mind moving

-the poodle, so I can sit?"

-The woman said, "No way.

-"My little poodle

-was here long before you.

-"My poodle isn't moving."

-He said, "I have arthritis.

-Please move the poodle."

-She said, "My poodle isn't moving.

-"My poodle is staying there.

-It wants a seat."

-The man said, "Please,

-will you move the poodle?"

-"No way. The poodle was here first."

-The old bloke lost his temper.

-He picked up the poodle

-and threw it out of the window.

-I told the bloke,

-"You made a mistake.

-"You threw out the wrong bitch."

-Our next artiste

-is a talented wordsmith.

-She's a fine novelist.

-She can also write

-satirical, witty poems.

-Please welcome Bethan Gwanas.

-Dear friends and kind audience

-Young and old

-My subject is no laughing matter

-Half the audience will weep

-When they remember

-they have a problem, as I do

-It's an awful, abhorrent affliction

-Which we can't ignore

-Friends, my subject is

-Getting old

-Don't you smile,

-you under-twenty girls

-It isn't funny,

-and it will come to you

-There's no reason to smile,

-now I'm so blooming old

-But I'm not the only one

-Men, even if they're balding

-Can hide the nasty fact

-Wrinkles on a man's face suit him

-Take Sean Connery

-And Clint Eastwood

-Both in their 80s,

-but hey, I would

-We women aren't quite as lucky,

-our bodies change disastrously

-It starts at about forty

-When the upper lip gets a bit fluffy

-And for some, a bit younger

-One fine summer day,

-the sky is blue and the sun shines

-You look at your friend and say,

-"Good grief, what's that?

-"What is that under your nose?

-"It looks like a caterpillar"

-She replies, "Why don't you

-look in a mirror?"

-You look in shock and disbelief

-It grew under your nose,

-without you noticing

-You feel embarrassed,

-you look like a bear

-You have to get rid of it at once,

-wax or razor, it doesn't matter

-But alas and alack, it grows back

-a thousand times worse!

-For a while, you can't

-help looking carefully

-At every passing upper lip

-Hairless? She waxes

-If you see one with a rug,

-you can't help but feeling smug

-You know you're really old

-When you have to check your chin

-And what hurts most

-Is the effect I DON'T have on lads

-Oh!

-I have friends of all ages

-When we walk into a pub

-Heads turn to appreciate

-Like the toy corgi

-in my granddad's car rear window

-That shows my age,

-and everyone else who remembers

-Long ago, my breasts were a weapon

-Now, they might as well not be there

-I admit, they're nearing my knees

-And those are arthritic too

-So if there's a toy boy here

-Who is blind, or feels sorry for me

-You're welcome to whisper in my ear

-Just massage my back

-while you're at it!

-# Near the sea

-# Our ancestors' gravestones

-# Are by the door

-# Under the ash tree's branches

-# Beneath the tower

-# It's there we shall marry

-# That's the place

-# By the plain altar

-# In the old church

-# One spring morning

-# The tower's bells

-# Will call two sweethearts

-# To the church by the sea

-# It's there we shall marry

-# My sweetheart and I

-# In the small church
