Three things ... Firstly ... I LOVE CARDIFF ... OMFG ... it is a wonderful place and the people are SO friendly ... I just loved it and can't wait to live there! Secondly ... I have absolutely NO willpower ... I said I would only do 50 Torchwood fanvids and then someone suggested a wonderful song, then another one ... and now I am up to 56 vids!! There is obviously NO hope for me! But am loving all the new music coming my way! And thirdly ... I LOVE CARDIFF ... did I mention that???

So ... Cardiff ... along with the millions of other tourists ... I saw where Captain Jack is offered coffee by Ianto outside the so-called Tourist Office ... except there is a huge metal fence type thing in front of the door and is rather dusty to say the least!

Spot the difference!!??

OK ... here's another one ...

There is such a lot of rejuvenation going on in Cardiff ... some of which has had a lot of criticism but I really liked it ... I think some of it is outstanding ... albeit in somewhat unusual places ... like the Watermark being right alongside Morrisons ... OK great for stepping outside the door for your groceries but do you want to live in a building that looks like a beautiful liner but overlooks a giant car park ... Or am I being rather naive ... do all apartments do that?

Then there's my fanvids on YouTube ... I really love my latest one because it is one of my all time fav songs with Etta James ... I Just Wanna Make Love To You ... delicious! There is a vid of Alex O' Loughlin with the same song that just has you dribbling ... well if you like that sort of thing ... oh and I SO DO !!!

Anyway my little gem is on http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A8asOnKr7Vo

Then there are some other little gems on:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Kughnln1jlo with a wonderful song by Clay Walker ...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YnwReFyFECE and that amazing song by Roberta Flack ... a bit of a blast from the past ... The First Time ...

A definitely blast from the past with Crosby Stills Nash & Young ... Love the One You Are With ... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zw7j7mtA7PQ

So .. Enjoy ... and do comment!

Finally ... a couple of little wallpapers ... bit tongue in cheek !!!

Hopefully this news is over and done with ... Dannii Minogue appearing on Torchwood ... You CANNOT be serious!!! One Minogue is bad enough ... at least she has a modicum of talent ... but the other ... is a total waste of space ... she should stick to what she does best ... oh wait ... there isn't anything!!! I would only want to see Dannii Minogue on Torchwood if she were part of Janet's feeding programme!!!!! Or something with BBQ sauce for Myfanwy ... a bit of Welsh tapas!! Let her stick to being Simon Cowell's toothpick!!! Stick ... toothpick ... get it??? Oh suit yourself!!

Now I said I wouldn't do any more Youtube fanvids ... but if someone sets you a challenge ... well ... it would be rude not to ... wouldn't it???

So ... and this is for adults ONLY ... cos the words are rather naughty ... !!! ... but you can find it on ... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OSeWYhtnBi8 ... Enjoy!

I also put all the photos we got at the JB Concert to JB singing I Am What I Am ... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bGXK8PlHZc0 ... I love this song ... the best version I have heard for a while though was from the Brighton Gay Men's Chorus when they competed on Last Choir Standing ... absolutely brilliant! Hope to be able to get to see them too soon!

Well .. I am off to Cardiff tomorrow to look for a new home ... something by the Bay would be nice ... something not far from the Uni would be even better ... drop out of bed into learning ... yep sounds like me!!!

Well ... it had to come ... a time to draw the line ... it just came rather quickly ... all over and done with so fast ... like a lot of things in life!! One minute they are babies then suddenly they have upped and left home!! Grief ... what is she babbling about this time??? Actually ... I am talking about my 50th and final Torchwood fanvid I have put on YouTube .... OK OK stop screaming .... what did you think .... I was going to get philosophical on something real??? Give me a break! What else is more important in life than Torchwood???? Alright ... don't start a list .... !!!

So my final 5 fanvids are ....

First ... another Michael Buble song ... Put Your Head On My Shoulders ... oh so romantic .... just right for Janto .... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UJgkxt67DdQ

Then ... a bit of the old italiano ... definitely romantic ... he could be ordering fish and chips and it would sound quite delectable!!! The song is I Belong To You .... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp0KWxXDxVI

Long Time Dead is the next one ... with the song by Demon Hunters called My Throat is Like An Open Grave ... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=b7zj_tVryFg ... given that Jack was thrown into his own grave and had soil chucked on him ... quietly apt??

OK ... so who remembers Bananarama the first time around??? You do? And you admit it??? I'm not saying anything! Well ... apart from my mum hummed their tunes a lot ... who said yeah right??? Anyway I loved their Shy Boy ... it is SO Ianto Jones ... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=s1XFKUEVmlQ

And finally ... drum roll ... my 50th and final fanvid ... until the new series anyway!! The song is The Wizard and I from Wicked the Musical ... which I had never heard before until I was researching it as a possible thing to go and see and the song just leapt out at me as being for Captain Jack and his Ianto ... so hope you feel the same ... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=z1obSt63Pc8

So ... that's it ... fanvids over ... how to feel the gap? Easy ... lots of reading and writing and researching to finish my dissertation and then thesis ... something had to give ... and unfortunately ... reality had to leap back in the door ... so let's just hope Spring 2009 doesn't take as long to arrive as it seems to be in the distance!!! Oh well ... Dr Who at Christmas ... better than nothing!! Best thing is that when Spring does arrive all the writing will be practically over and done with!! Yea! Go me!

I can never understand why actors with talent like this are not used to their better advantage and for their fans! There are so many talentless and not hot actors on our screens that it makes you weep that an actor of this calibre is not in a...
