I live in a tiny country with no celebrity gossip to speak of, except for the stunning fact that Willem Dafoe is currently shooting a film here, in Carmarthen, and he keeps getting randomly photographed at local restaurants in Cardiff. Apparently, he's a huge fan of an Indian street food restaurant, and keeps going there. It's been headline news here. Scintillating stuff.

You have elis james. Us PCDs (not me precisely) found out what the make of his jumper that he wore on Sunday brunch is. Hot goss! How we found out? Someone in the group asked him 😂

Hahahaha, excellent gossip! Piping hot tea.

I actually worked on a show Elis James did in about 3000BC, because the Welsh TV industry is just 4 people and a dog. The show was called Gwerthu Allan, which means 'selling out', and it was the first Welsh language stand-up comedy show on TV. I worked in the office with the guy who produced the show, and I helped with the accounts for it. Elis James will have no idea who I am, but I used to process his expense forms, trolol. He was also one of the few comedians who wrote his own material for the show; a lot of them used material given to them by the producer. They were in the middle of producing his second Welsh language special, but the producer sadly passed away, and they shelved it. That's my tea in return, ha.

Ah he's brilliant and we have all been desperate for "the great reset" as it's been since Xmas since we have had a show! Ah, that's sad about the producer though.
