Val4Gareth Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 What a very interesting tweet. Lost my voice! Brilliant! And I'm speaking in Parliament on Wednesday! Thought it would be nice to have a new thread, to discuss what he may be talking about and for feedback once its happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 It is, but just the one, so I'm merging them! It's really exciting, isn't it? I wonder if this is associated with Gareth being spotted at Portcullis House a few weeks ago? I recall Gareth speaking with some politicians at the Giving Voice launch last year, so it might be something else to do with that, or perhaps Gareth is going to be there as part of his new role as journalist for his BBC3 documentary! Whatever it is, it's got to be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Sorry I didn't realize we already had a thread. I've been having so many problems with my internet connection, it took me about 10 minutes to post the new thread. I think you could be right about one of those two suggestions. What an achievement for him to have been asked to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggiemags Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 This is SO exciting! The only remotely possible thing I can find in the business for the day (click the House of Commons tab and then the Westminster Hall tab) is 'Support for Disabled People'. I've Googled the relevant MP and there's nothing to link him to stammering per se. Gareth could, of course, be speaking about anything in an unlisted meeting anywhere in the House. I do so wish he wouldn't leave us hanging like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 He is a meany, isn't he? The bit about support for Young people with Disabilities could tie in with the BBC programme which is focusing on Gareth helping young people with stammers. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be really good, and not just a big deal for Gareth, but I think Gareth has a lot worth listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floz Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 How amazing. he needs to tell us more...and not just about the state of his voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 How amazing. he needs to tell us more...and not just about the state of his voice I swear he does it on purpose so we don't get any sleep. Anyone got any idea what time this is likely to take place on Wednesday? Not being very politically minded I have no clue as to the proceedure.

maria_1981 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I felt like saying to him come on tell us why you will be talking in parliament as you don't need your voice to type lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I am very intriqued, Gareth certainly knows how to keep us guessing, hope he comes back soon and tells us more, that if he is allowed to tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Noticed this on twitter, he is such a tease only giving half of whats happening lol. Sounds interesting though whatever it may be for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Anyone got any idea what time this is likely to take place on Wednesday? Not being very politically minded I have no clue as to the proceedure. According to Maggie's link, the session about young people and disabilities is on at 9:30am, but they have all kinds of things on all day (and sometimes at night too!) I am very intriqued, Gareth certainly knows how to keep us guessing, hope he comes back soon and tells us more, that if he is allowed to tell us. If it's a proper meeting at Parliament, it will be a matter of public record. Open Government and all that! We'll just have to submit a Freedom of Information request!

eternal Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 What fabulous news. Well spotted Elaine. Is there any chance we could get to hear what he has talked about or are these things usually kept private, does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Is there a TV channel that feeds back information from Parliament? Hope we can find out what he speaks about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm as intrigued as everyone else as to what Gareth is speaking about in Parliament , Gareth has given us the news in a cheeky way . Thanks for your link Maggie,I am thinking it could be Support For Disabled Young People as Snowdrop suggested for Gareth's BBC Stammer house prog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 All exciting and I do hope he will get his voice back in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I've just come across this video (which I think we have all seen before) This video seems to me, Gareth showing sheer determination to highlight stammering and if this is what he is talking about tomorrow, it should be a very interesting speech.

eternal Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Oh good to know what it is about. I so admire him for his constant enthusiasm for all he is involved in.

He's amazing how enthusiastic he is about everything. With lots of celebrities its blatantly obvious they are there against their will, but that never happens with Gareth. He's one in a million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
