Don't watch or listen to them then.

Yep.

YABU.

He is great at speeches.

YANBU if he is coming to your house and shouting the speeches through your letterbox.

RedHelenB · 29/11/2022 09:08

Are you Welsh?

FiveMins · 29/11/2022 09:08

Personally think they are great. Not even Welsh.

lonelyinyournightmare · 29/11/2022 09:09

I think they, and he, are amazing.

😂lol

I’m not Welsh but I love him. He’s an amazing actor (and giver of speeches) and from everything I have seen and read he seems like a genuinely lovely person too.
If he wanted to come and shout motivational speeches through my letterbox I would be ok with it

Guitarbar · 29/11/2022 09:13

I had to google it so its not like he's in everyone's face about it. I'm English but my DH is Welsh and i think it's great, wales has an amazing history and culture. I actually speak a bit of Welsh, when I met DH I knew I really liked him so ignorantly I suppose assumed him and his family spoke Welsh. I spent a lot of time learning words and phrases, ready to whip it out when I met his parents- only to learn nope they didn't know any. Took me until the wedding to admit to my slightly creepy but ultimately educational endeavour.

YABU would ride him like a carousel horse

tresleches · 29/11/2022 09:18

I like them, but I also like the idea that he does them constantly in inappropriate situations, like one of those mortifying bellowing husbands I've seen now and again, so thanks for that!

megletthesecond · 29/11/2022 09:19

I think they're great. I told DS that I'll stream one to his google speaker if he doesn't get out of bed on time. (English here)

Wilkolampshade · 29/11/2022 09:20

He can bellow them through my letterbox any day.

sweatyannie · 29/11/2022 09:23

Ok I'm unreasonable 🤣

I am Welsh and I adore him. I also think he’s the best Dr Who we’ve never had.

GythaOggsDaughterInLaw · 29/11/2022 09:39

Met him.
He's absolutely LUSH (as we say here in these valleys) and his speeches are something to behold.

ZebraLyghts · 29/11/2022 09:40

I'm with you OP!

Squiblet · 29/11/2022 09:43

I saw him do a speech on a panel show once, and afterwards my only goal in life was to rush out and win a trophy for the Welsh men's rugby team. (NB am a 5'3" woman with zero muscle tone)

Lycanthropology · 29/11/2022 09:47

My DD met him several times when she was involved with West Glamorgan youth theatre. MS was patron, having been a former member himself. He came to support their show, bought them all tshirts and hung out for the party afterwards.
He is, apparently, unutterably lovely.

Take a feckin' number there would you? There is a queue forming and you're clearly behind me in that queue! 😂 😆 😂

I have been sniggering to myself about this.
I can picture him in the supermarket with his wife and she asked something like “Mike, do we need more loo roll?”
Then Welsh music starts and he stares into the (imaginary) camera and starts
”The question is not whether we need more loo roll ……………………………………………” etc etc

ChocolateCakeYum · 29/11/2022 09:52

Not a fan.

Im half Welsh and even that side of me couldn’t abide another of his speeches.

ssd · 29/11/2022 09:52

I like him. Wish he was Scottish, we could do with him up here.

ClaribelLowLieth · 29/11/2022 09:54

Love him!

Not Welsh.
