..............and I thought I was having trouble with DAB!
Gethin Jones, Matthew Rhys and Ioan Gruffudd seem to be having a bit of trouble getting the Eisteddfod on the radio (...but surely they won't be able to watch the country dancing!)
- thanks to our video wizard!!!

'Seven Days' is All She Wrote
(Days of the week and title by Sting (Seven Days) )
Saturday could wait
Very quick addendum to last Friday - was listening to Claudia Winkleman's radio show on Friday night and they reviewed the 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' film without mentioning the 'other' Jones! Yay, Claudia!
Anyway, back to Saturday...........Yes, everything else on Saturday had to wait for Gethin's Radio 5 Live show to finish. Fun, games, chat, films, live music - what more could you ask for.................well, a better film reviewer than 'Pocket Rocket' Rob Burrow! (I've been to see The Edge of Love - it's got Welsh people in it - can I review it, please, please??)
Well, anyway, Geth was looking and sounding relaxed there (until 11.00 when the webcam went off again) - loads of his famous research having been done, and I am loving the random points allocation in the Olympic Years quiz. If Sue Barker ever decides to leave Question of Sport, I am sure Jonesy could do it justice!
Sunday'd be too late - Nothing in the papers - that can't be right!
Monday, I could wait 'till Tuesday -(Well, that is when Heat comes out)
Tuesday, if I make up my mind
To buy or not to buy..................hmmmm. Well, I had a look at Heat and indeed there was a TINY TINY (Imagine Craig R-H saying that - well, maybe not) picture of Geth - in respect of a letter regarding 'furry' men being back in vogue - well, when were they not - is my opinion.... Even better, the pic used was from the Gethin in chains photo shoot. Oh how we GGs wish they'd publish all those photos!!!
(thanks for buying and scanning, Becca!)
Wednesday would be fine
'Auntie' Jan found that a rather lovely prize bull belonging to G Jones won at a Welsh farming show............Welsh GG Em was watching.........However, it is the image that these words conjure, rather than the reality --------G Jones.......prize bull...... *thud*
Thursday's on my mind
Turns out that Eastenders 'stars' have been forbidden to join Strictly this year due to the extra long run (it is 16 weeks). If only this were last year..........................
The little 'chains' pic arrives in several GGs radar and causes a bit of a scramble........goodness knows what kind of flutter more of those pictures would cause!
Nearly forgot, La Webmistress received notification of another Virgin 1 video on YouTube........this is for a promo video for the new series. See it here
Friday'd give me time
Waiting for news on the guest list for Gethin Jones, Gethin Jones, Gethin Jones on Radio5, on Radio5...........................*taps fingers impatiently*
Saturday 26th July:
Celebrity Masterchef winner - Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon is in the studio to share her new found cookery skills.
Chief Scout and Blue Peter Legend - Peter Duncan - dares Gethin to a game of presenter Top Trumps
Dr Who assistant Martha Jones AKA Freema Agyeman talks to Gethin from Royal Albert Hall as she prepares for tomorrow's Dr Who Prom
"The Thick of It" star Chris Addison talks about his new show - Lab Rats
There will be live music in the studio with London band, Brute Chorus
After 11, Comedian John Bishop and Olympian Iwan Thomas help Gethin look back at the Olympic Year of 2000
PlusUS Presidential candidate - Barack Obama - is due to give his maiden UK speech during the show..

Friday 18 July 2008
That was the week, that was!
New weekly round up feature, chez the SGJ blog.....
Saturday, works hard for living
The day started with the Gethin Jones radio show on Five Live, and was especially good, since I got a text read out and Becca got to chat live (and make ghost noises). It was an entertaining programme and Jonesy sounded right at home there in the studio!
Sunday - a day of rest
Would there be anything in the Sunday mags? Yes, a strangely interesting half page article in the Sunday Express. Soooooooo, Geth has a liking for banana custard and apple crumble - and rice cakes!
Monday, Monday, so good to me....
I was in Wales, and the Fron choir's renditions were inadvertently popping into my head as I wandered round the 'land of my fathers'............ ;)
Tuesday on my mind
No Gethin in Heat - Steve Jones instead (not looking half as good, no chains for a start!)- how long will it be before people ask if HE is GETH'S brother??
Wednesday, full of woe
....no Geth......
Thursday, far to go
For some reason best known to myself I decided to mention Chinese horoscopes to some other Geth's Girls - Geth was born in the year of the horse, incidentally (let me just say jodhpurs and whips right now). Shoot me now, I wish I had never mentioned it!
Thank God, it's Friday
Discovered that Nigel Kennedy will be on Geth's radio show tomorrow - as 
'Aunty' Jan said - I bet Nigel's mum let him have HIS violin! Also some music from Melee (thank goodness, I do like a bit of live music on the radio). Will Rob Burrows have watched the film he is reviewing this week?

Keeping up with the Joneses
Well, all is not well with the Jones boys.....
Twinkle-toes Jones, aka our Gethin, has been his usual charming self in recent interviews (of which there have been many), good-naturedly denying that Steve of the same surname is actually his brother!
They may both be Welsh, dark, handsome and prone to taking their tops off, but there the resemblance ends, it appears.
The other Jones boy is less gracious in response to questions regarding a potential appearance in Strictly.....in a recent Heat interview he says something to the effect that he is 'a presenter' and doesn't need to do that to make a living. So, Steve, appearing half-naked in a teen-angst flick is sooooo much better for a presenter's career, is it?
Perhaps it is more a case of the green-eyed monsters.
Hip-wiggling, fiddle-playing, muscle-pumping, mountaineering, rugby-playing, cave-crawling, high-flying, fast-jiving, scary-surfing, Welsh-speaking....GETHIN
More than your average presenter.....

We're listening (and texting, and phoning)
New Fron choir version for the Gethin Jones Show on Radio Five Live
Here .......to 'Men of Harlech'
Gethin Jones is a waltzer
Shakes his hips as he does a salsa
Women swoon when he enters a room
It's Gethin on Five Live
I got a name check in a question to Daley Thompson and, more importantly, our very own slightly giggly(afterwards anyway - very good on air) Becca got to speak to Geth about what to do in Edinburgh, lucky girl!

Gethin Jones' Danger Hunters - and there's more
Virgin 1 have a picture gallery for Geth - we like the wetsuit............. ;)
Gethin is OK!
Well, there he was in OK magazine.....4 and a half pages......love the photos. Not quite as much as the one in Heat, but you can have too much of a good thing (maybe not)
Surely it has to be the talk show round next, and Top Gear....

Everyone loves Gethin Jones
Well, so it seems.
Today we have found a small piece with photo in Heat, and a slightly longer article in next week's Radio Times about 'The face behind the voice'.
A GG in Wales has tracked down a magazine article written by two talented 16 year old budding journalists in a local magazine.
Finally, we understand from another GG in Wales that there is a 3 page spread in OK Magazine..........but 3 others have only found last week's Coleen and Wayne extravaganza............
Gethin, we believe, is Stateside again, chasing storms (yes, chicks really 'dig' weather *rolls eyes* - watch the Virgin1 YouTube videos if you don't know what I am talking about)

Gethin Jones' Danger Hunters
Clips are now on YouTube - Can you believe Virgin 1 contacted La Webmistress at http://www.strictlygethinjones.co.uk/ to ask for a link to be put on............... check them out!!!!!
Here is a still or two to whet your appetite - scary twister out there, Geth??

..and 'How's that for nerves?'
Fron Choir - a familiar tune with new words
Click on the picture to hear some new words to Land of my Fathers.........hilarious!
(and check out the figure on the left in the version of this album cover when you click)

Here is another one - my favourite - Cwm Rhondda.............sort of
Saturday 5 July 2008
Gethin Jones on Radio 5 - watch out Eamonn!
The Fron choir singing 'Gethin Jones' to the tune of Cwm Rhondda - and Land of my Fathers...........
The theme from Bread at an inopportune moment...........
Lesbian invasion of a Sue Lawley show (memories of 1988)..........
This show is just fab - Geth's relaxed and seems to be enjoying it hugely. Liberated from the shackles of children's TV, able to make political comment (ish).......woo hoo, and a webcam too (well, untill 11.00 when they all disappeared).
Jan got her text read out - big highlight (check it out here), and we heard during the show that the GGs get a mention in an article in this weekend's Mail..................so we are happy bunnies!
Tuesday 1 July 2008
Nice guys finish last..............
Well, true..........but this was more what I was having what I believe is known as a 'fangasm' (!!!!!) over today...................in Heat magazine......4 pages of interview and pictures
See this one..............that bicep there is one I had a little stroke of (he WAS wearing a shirt though)
It also appears he will be on BBC Breakfast on Friday, and of course he is on the Rad-i-o (Radio 5 Live at 9) on Saturday.
Tomorrow Geth's best bits will be on Blue Peter, and that should be a cracking programme if Zoe's today is any indication.
I wrote some song lyrics (to the tune of the Bay City Rollers' classic 'Bye Bye Baby' ) and if you have made it past those pics, well done, so here it is:
Bye Bye BP - an ode to Gethin’s departure (To Auntie Beeb)
If you hate me after what I say
Can't put it off any longer
I just gotta tell ya anyway
Bye Bye BP, BP goodbye.
Bye BP, BP bye bye.
Bye bye BP, don't make me cry
Bye BP, BP bye bye.
It’s the only kid’s show I see
But to watch now Geth‘s gone? Not me!
I wish it could be.
I could watch again, but why begin it
'Cos there ain't any future in it,
Geth’s the best, but now he’s left, so:
Bye Bye BP, BP goodbye.
Bye BP, BP bye bye.
Bye bye BP, don't make me cry
Bye BP, BP bye bye.
Wish I had written you a letter,
Wish you kept Geth - so much better, for a GG
How good it would be for me.
Now I tell you that I won’t be there,
There's a new crowd, I just don’t care,
Geth’s the best, but now he’s left, so:
Bye Bye BP, BP goodbye.
Bye BP, BP bye bye.
Bye bye BP, don't make me cry
Bye BP, BP bye bye.
