Pennod 3 Y Salon

-.

-The salon doors are open again.

-Plenty of plain talking amidst

-the straighteners and scissors.

-That's a disgrace, a disgrace.

-We're like two old women gossiping.

-I love it, I love it.

-The price of education will never be

-as high as the price of ignorance.

-Welcome to Y Salon and a

-warm welcome to Nadeen in Llanelli.

-People think they can come in,

-sit there and tell us everything.

-And they do tell us everything.

-Bowels, everything.

-I could write five books

-about what I've heard in this salon.

-In November every year,

-there's great anticipation...

-..as the latest wine

-from France arrives.

-There were probably a few headaches

-after Beaujolais Nouveau Day.

-Have you heard of Beaujolais Day?

-Is that a wine?

-They celebrate it down south.

-Never heard of it.

-Beaujolais Day, my word.

-This is where you've got me,

-you've got me where I live.

-I love Beaujolais Day.

-Do you like Beaujolais Day?

-I've never been.

-I've never been.

-

-The girls went up at 11.30am.

-Really? 11.30am?

-One of them said they'd bought

-a new dress and it sounded lovely.

-I thought, "What state

-will she be in at teatime?"

-You've seen them in Wind Street,

-Swansea.

-Oh, blinkin'...

-They'll be blinkin'...

-You won't be like that,

-will you, Nads? No.

-A lot of the wines

-are named after the grape.

-Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

-Why do you think

-they call this one Beaujolais?

-Go on.

-They can't name it after the grape -

-it's the Gamay grape.

-Imagine going to Tesco...

-Imagine going to Tesco...

-

-Gammy wine!

-Exactly.

-Does wine give you a hangover?

-Does wine give you a hangover?

-

-Not red wine.

-No, no. I don't know why.

-It never has.

-White wine is the Devil's work.

-Oh, yeah.

-Headaches - I can't think straight.

-What's your hangover cure?

-My hangover cure?

-Believe it or not, bananas.

-Co-codamol, Paracetamol, Aspirin...

-Only joking.

-Full breakfast.

-It sorts me right out.

-Bacon toastie. You can't beat bacon.

-Bacon toastie. You can't beat bacon.

-

-Now you're talking.

-Bacon and egg bap.

-Bacon and egg bap.

-

-Me too.

-Pasty.

-Fat.

-Diet Coke.

-I don't know what's in it.

-It does the job.

-It does the job.

-

-And salted crisps.

-Bacon and mushroom toastie.

-It's nice.

-Mushrooms in a toastie? Why do you

-put vegetables in a bacon toastie?

-Vegetables? Mushrooms?

-It spoils a good thing.

-You wake up

-with a pounding headache.

-The missus is downstairs

-cooking bacon.

-You smell the wafts

-while your head's on the pillow.

-This waft comes up.

-Ah, bacon!

-You come alive.

-It's Children In Need week.

-All kinds of events

-have been organised to raise money.

-I've got a headache now!

-Are you Axl Rose?

-Are you Axl Rose?

-

-Meant to be.

-You look nothing like John McEnroe.

-John McEnroe!

-They're dressing up in style

-in Llandeilo.

-I like your dickie bow.

-And your Pudsey.

-I like dickie bows.

-I love it.

-I sat in a wheelbarrow of beans

-when I was younger. When I was 10.

-Cold!

-Years ago.

-In 2012,

-I did a sponsored fancy dress walk.

-I dressed up like Harry Potter.

-Harry Potter? Cool.

-I raised about 200.

-That's great. That's very good.

-If everyone raised 200,

-it would go far.

-Every little helps.

-Do you like my Pudsey outfit?

-Do you like my Pudsey outfit?

-

-No. It's boring.

-Boring?

-Cheek!

-Do you like dressing up?

-I have been seen in Caernarfon

-in a onesie carrying a bucket.

-We did a lot for Children In Need in

-youth club. We did a 12-hour disco.

-Non-stop dancing for 12 hours.

-I was wearing pyjamas.

-They're closing the youth club.

-They're closing the youth club.

-

-No.

-The youngsters of Gwynedd

-will soon be in need...

-..as many local youth clubs

-are earmarked for closure.

-That's a disgrace, a disgrace.

-I don't believe it.

-Where are children supposed to go?

-The best years of your life

-are in youth club.

-The local youth club was superb.

-We had bands playing downstairs,

-a tuck shop, a pool room.

-The price of education will never be

-as high as the price of ignorance.

-When you went to youth clubs,

-you learnt a lot.

-You learnt how to live together.

-You learnt how to live together.

-

-And socialise.

-Everything.

-Everything.

-

-It opened doors with sport.

-Everything.

-I'd never played pool

-or darts before.

-How many friends did you make there?

-People you'd never met before.

-And discos.

-You met your girlfriend there.

-I'm part of, well,

-I wouldn't call it a youth club...

-..but I'm part of Whizz-Kids.

-That's like a youth club.

-I don't know what I'd do

-if they stopped that.

-I'd have nowhere to go.

-If the youth clubs don't have

-laptops, iPads, PlayStation 3...

-..or PlayStation 4,

-they don't want to know.

-Gone are the days

-of playing pool, snooker and darts.

-I loved it.

-Getting back to Children In Need,

-you're collecting money for it...

-..while the council

-are taking from children in need.

-There's another way to look at it.

-Children these days

-shouldn't be in need.

-In this day and age.

-You appreciate what you have.

-You come home, slippers on,

-onesie and watch Children In Need.

-It puts it into perspective.

-Yes, yes. We are lucky.

-You see the young children

-in those clips.

-It's interesting to know

-where the money goes.

-Those clips are heart-breaking.

-I need a box of Kleenex tissues.

-Everyone's crying,

-Mam's in tears all night.

-I'm no better.

-It's important to give,

-don't you think?

-There are people out there, Betty,

-they have nothing.

-I'm passionate about it.

-We're lucky.

-We're lucky where we live.

-We can't complain.

-Another important cause is dementia.

-Dementia is becoming

-more and more important.

-So many people suffer from dementia.

-My father's been diagnosed with

-dementia over the past two years.

-It's hard to believe that someone

-who lived such a normal life...

-..he's 80 now...

-..but in his late 70s,

-he started behaving like a child.

-It's a horrible disease.

-Yes, yes, unforgiving.

-We're raising money now

-for Children In Need.

-We should not only collect money

-for a cure but also raise awareness.

-They say that dementia

-will affect one in three.

-Dementia is a cruel disease

-which affects more and more people.

-I played football a lot.

-A lot of footballers have it.

-There's a connection

-with heading the ball.

-Today's balls aren't bad,

-they're quite good.

-Go back

-to the '50s, '60s and '70s...

-..balls were heavier.

-When it was wet,

-the ball absorbed water.

-If you headed those balls,

-and I did it a lot...

-..bang, you felt it.

-Do you know anyone with Alzheimer's?

-My husband.

-My husband.

-

-Ron had Alzheimer's?

-It was terrible,

-it was such a strain.

-You could see him deteriorating,

-the last two years.

-It was terrible at the end.

-He was in Glangwili Hospital.

-But he was, oh...

-Did he recognise you?

-Did he recognise you?

-

-No. I don't think he recognised us.

-It was such a strain.

-Dementia is also a strain

-on the people looking after them.

-I've been through it with Dadi.

-I'm going through it with Mami.

-Not an easy thing.

-People don't realise.

-I see people coming to work

-and I know it's so hard.

-Who cares for the carer?

-No-one.

-No-one.

-

-I know.

-People are living longer.

-If you live longer, there's more

-of a chance of getting ill.

-It's like a car - you don't

-have problems with a new car.

-The older it is, the more chance

-it has of breaking down.

-Some people just don't get old.

-Steps and Spice Girls

-are reforming.

-Do you think they'll be as good

-or it will it be, "Oh, my God!"?

-It'll be different

-seeing them come back this time.

-I remember them as they were.

-I don't think I'd like them now.

-I was young when they were around

-the first time.

-The name doesn't suit them now -

-Spice Girls.

-What are they calling themselves?

-Old Spice?

-I've been waiting for this moment

-since the '90s. I have.

-If they go on tour,

-I'll be first in the queue.

-My favourite was Ginger Spice.

-My favourite was Ginger Spice.

-I had a limited edition

-Spice Girl doll.

-It was this big.

-Argos special, 13.99.

-Yes, 13.99. On tour.

-Not in the Union Jack dress...

-..in the kimono gown,

-but she was fabulous.

-How much is it worth now?

-Ooh, 300.

-3.99!

-Who's your favourite?

-Who's your favourite?

-

-Victoria Beckham. Silly question!

-Of course she was.

-Everyone liked Victoria Beckham.

-I wasn't keen on her.

-Did you like Ginger Spice?

-Did you like Ginger Spice?

-

-That's such a cliche!

-They filmed Spice Girls The Movie.

-Brilliant, with aliens.

-I loved it. I'm so excited

-just thinking about it.

-I'll have to go.

-I prefer country and western.

-John ac Alun.

-No, no, no. Oh, no, no.

-Bloody hell, no.

-Boney M.

-# By the rivers of Babylon #

-Cliff Richard, that's who I like.

-Is he still alive?

-Still swinging with him?

-Oh, hey, there's a good night

-on Saturday night.

-We're off to Liverpool.

-We're going to watch Steps.

-It's their 20 years reunion concert.

-# Tragedy!

-Oh!

-# Tragedy! #

-Tragedy, when you lose control

-and you can't go soul, it's tragedy.

-# Tragedy,

-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh #

-Do you remember?

-# Tragedy

-# Dah-dah-dee-dee, dah-dah-dee-dee

-# Tragedy #

-The stars of Y Salon

-will reunite after the break.

-# You're going away

-It's coming back to me now.

-# Tragedy

-# Tragedy

-

-Tragedy. We have tickets.

-He's going to watch them.

-He's going to watch them.

-

-We're going to watch them.

-I can see tragedy in this mirror!

-Moz the monster.

-It gave me a nightmare.

-I didn't like the one

-with the dog last year.

-Bouncing on a trampoline.

-That's not Christmas.

-I like the one with Paddington Bear.

-Is that Marks and Spencer?

-It appeals to us because we remember

-Paddington. Marmalade sandwiches.

-Have you seen the Tesco advert?

-There are Muslims in it.

-It's created such a fuss.

-Why?

-I don't think

-they believe in Christmas.

-There's been such a fuss.

-I saw it on the news earlier.

-Christians didn't like seeing

-Muslims portrayed as people...

-..who celebrate Christmas.

-They do celebrate, fair play.

-It's not Christmas to them

-but it's a celebration.

-It's a diverse society.

-Dad always said that the best

-salesman of all time was Jesus.

-It's true, isn't it?

-Do you shop on line

-or do you shop locally?

-I shop locally.

-I believe in shopping locally.

-The year before last,

-I bought everything off Amazon.

-They wrapped everything for me

-and put labels on them.

-I don't blame you.

-I was so busy at the time.

-When do you do your shopping?

-Do you leave it to the last minute?

-Do you leave it to the last minute?

-

-Yes.

-Maybe the week before. The trick

-is waiting until Christmas Eve.

-Sales!

-What tickles me

-about this time of year...

-.."Only 199."

-Only!

-I want money. 100 from each person.

-100 from each person? What for?

-Children want expensive gifts.

-You're talking hundreds of pounds.

-Holly, she cried last week.

-I told her that everything

-she wanted was 100 each.

-"You can have five presents then."

-She went crying to my husband.

-"Dadi, Dadi, Mami says I can

-only have five presents."

-We lost Mam a week before Christmas

-and we've never found her!

-If you're stuck

-for the perfect Christmas gift...

-..buy your child or partner

-a private jet...

-..to travel around the world

-in style.

-If you had a jet,

-how would you kit it out?

-If you had

-all the money in the world...

-Understated, top quality.

-Walnut, suede, leather.

-A little bit like a gentlemen's club

-but with a feminine twist.

-Naked butler.

-Just that. No seats.

-Just a naked butler.

-And a seat.

-And a seat.

-

-A naked butler?

-For fun.

-Cocktail bar.

-A party and...

-..ladies.

-Ladies?

-Trashy. Trashy.

-OTT, OTT.

-It would have fur throws.

-A tap flowing with Prosecco.

-You don't have to wait for

-a steward... stewa... air steward.

-Have you been there before?

-

-I got married in Las Vegas.

-China?

-China?

-

-I want to see the Wall.

-Why China?

-Why China?

-

-Bit of culture.

-Yuck!

-New York. New York.

-Have you been there?

-Have you been there?

-

-Wales forever.

-

-Keep your jet. Stuff your jet!

-in a ceremony in Cardiff.

-Idris Reynolds from Cardiganshire.

-Is he a Welshman?

-The book is called Cofio Dic Jones.

-I'll buy the book.

-I make sure the kids read

-for 10 minutes each night.

-A proper book, not off the iPad.

-You can read books off the iPad,

-a tablet or a Kindle.

-That's what I think. There's nothing

-better than turning a page.

-Or folding a page over

-as your marker.

-Do you read a lot?

-Yes.

-I like reading books with...

-Pictures in them!

-Those that pop out at you.

-Do you read?

-Do you read?

-

-I did. Not any more.

-Why not?

-Why not?

-

-It's boring. I find them boring.

-Books?

-here it is.

-The strike and Penrhyn Quarry...

-..at the beginning

-of the 20th century.

-I can't believe

-how cruel Lord Penrhyn was...

-..along with his cronies,

-to these people

-Unbelievable.

-At the moment I'm reading

-Rhys Lewis by Daniel Owen.

-I don't know why,

-In school!

-You're going back a few years.

-Have you read Moby Dick?

-Moby what?

-

-Moby Dick?

-No. Is it clean or dirty?

-Clean! It was written in the 1850s.

-Moby Dick, innit.

-Moby Dick, innit.

-

-Moby Dick is a whale!

-I don't read much at home.

-I don't have the time.

-Every holiday, it's on the list,

-I take two books.

-It drives my husband up the wall

-when I'm reading by the pool.

-

-I'm a people watcher. I'm terrible.

-What about speaking to people,

-Nadeen?

-She goes into parties

-and she livens them up...

-..for 2,500.

-Eh?

-It's an excuse to go shopping.

-You can't go...

-To the party

-without something glamorous.

-Christian Loubotins. Oh, yeah.

-I just say. "Alright,

-how's it goin'? What's happenin'?"

-And then everyone joins in.

-Ever used a chat-up line?

-I've had two wives and three

-children. Something must work.

-Has anyone ever used

-a cheesy chat-up line on you?

-Yes.

-That's a nice dress. It'd look

-better on my bedroom floor.

-Don't burn my bacon!

-Did it hurt

-when you fell from heaven?

-Corny!

-Here's 10p. Phone your mother

-to tell her you're not coming home.

-I like someone with a shirt

-and jeans or a shirt and trousers.

-Do you know a pot? A little pot.

-Something to rub.

-Ooh, yeah!

-What else do you like to rub?

-A party's what you make it.
