You know, I'm really disappointed LightGiver. If you had come up with some sort of thoughts and comments about all the different aspects you have posted...we could have had a really interesting thread here.
But hey ho...what can one expect when you gave the thread a misleading title I guess.

Richard Burton was born Richard Walter Jen kins in the village of Pontrhydyfen, Neath Port Talbot, Wales. He grew up in a working class, Welsh-speaking household, the twelfth of thirteen children...His father, also named Richard Walter Jenkins, was a short, robust coal miner, a "twelve-pints-a-day man" who sometimes went off on drinking and gambling sprees for weeks. Burton later claimed, by family telling, that "He looked very much like me...That is, he was pockmarked, devious, and smiled a great deal when he was in trouble. He was, also, a man of extraordinary eloquence, tremendous passion, great violence..."Burton showed a talent for English and Welsh literature at grammar school, and demonstrated an excellent memory...

Katherine Jen kins was born in Neath, Wales,where she and her sister Laura were raised by their parents Selwyn John and Susan...

I don't get why you're being critical, Jane. He's giving a collage of different aspects of Welsh art and facts, which are each interesting in their own right.

I'm not being critical Gilly...show me where I have been critical please?
I believe I am the only Welsh member on the forum, and Welsh speaking to boot (being totally bi-lingual).
So Lightgiver, as I have said, has posted numerous you tube and wikepedia links with no comments/opinions/questions...what is the point?
As I said, if he could give some indication as to what vampires have to do with Wales, I would be happy to engage. If he has viewpoints or questions about his other posts I would love to see them.
Are you telling me that the best you can come up with is question my non-existent criticism without passing some comment about some of the posts he has made?
I have been waiting for LG to come up with why he has started this thread, is there's some sort of connection between the links...cos the vampire one alone has me baffled! I would happily engage in discourse.
All he has managed is some feeble rhetoric.
Yes, I might sound as though I am interpreting this thread as a 'have a go at the 'Welsh'. What else am I supposed to assume when no link is made between all these posts? Well, we seem to be having a go at everybody else on this forum tonight...so bring it on! That is not aimed at you Gilly...that's at LightGiver.....my arse!

Jane

I just see it as his posting style, it's not exclusive to this thread. And tbh I like it, it's refreshingly new. I often make an OP with a quote and a link and no opinion....I generally crack and offer an opinion further into the thread, LG is less inclined.

I don't need to show you where you're being critical, Jane - just go back & read your own posts in it, which are . He's doing his own thing, and I'm liking it. Your Welshness doesn't give you a platform to dictate the template for how a thread should run on the subject. At no point did I interpret it as having a go at the Welsh.

I too see it as just his style of posting, no harm being done
Though he may wish to explain to you perhaps what the vampire connection is seeing as you've asked a couple of times















*has anyone been around jane with garlic or a mirror by any chance?*

Oh aye, fo sho, ask pertinent questions and prove your point by having them ignored, I fully endorse this approach

Sorry Gilly, but lets say LG started a thread about England, Terry Wogan and the Floral Dance brass band, Stonehenge, etc and suddenly threw vampirism into the mix...wouldn't your wtf radar be lit?
I am quite happy to engage in pros and cons of posts, but I really can't get my head around post after post of you tube and wikipedia links that are so random, that I can't get my head round what he is trying to say to be able to engage. My problem, I accept...but what a waste of space when each and every one of us could do the same random postings....but have no view point?.....Get real girl!
So I guess I have answered my own question....random links with no opinions mean diddly squat..... so what's the point? You accept and believe what LG has posted here...best of luck with that. We'll see what he does when he starts on the rest of the celts as he's said he would do in this thread shall we?
Just asking

Jane

Or maybe you are reading into it because it's a 'trigger' for you....

Anyway, about my reading? I could really use it now.

As to your reading....got the message loud and clear...will do it tomorrow and PM you the result.

Jane

But Jane, his posts have been very informative - who'd have known Wales was infested with vampires, if it wasn't for this thread? Now I know to take extra garlic when I go camping there.












That was a joke.

Here's a bit you've overlooked...Gilly wrote:
And you're quite right - I'd be appalled if he posted Terry Wogan doing The Floral Dance. (Joke).

Settle down and stop worrying that readers can't decipher things for themselves. We don't all have to adopt the same style. He's posted nothing offensive, and I find your moaning about it more of a waste of space, and a bit unpleasant for someone who's supposed to be knitting rainbows.
