It'll be time to get my copy of "It's a wonderful life" out soon.

When Bobbie is at the railway station, and the steam clears from the platform, she sees her father emerging from the mist. Running forward she cries "Daddy". By this time my eyes are full of tears and I'm looking for a tissue. And this happens everytime I see the film.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274128902753553953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-58774418180451128942008-12-05T13:07:00.000+00:002008-12-05T13:07:00.000+00:00Actually, Maureen, it seems we may not even have a...Actually, Maureen, it seems we may not even have a creek !Ingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779944343500476252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-78192913987199073252008-12-05T11:33:00.000+00:002008-12-05T11:33:00.000+00:00Welcome to the blog Alison.Inga re your water foot...Welcome to the blog Alison.<BR/>Inga re your water foot print comment.

What is suggested we use as an alternative? Polyester made from oil?

Hi Inga,<BR/><BR/>Glad you liked the most recent doorstep, it was a riot to record - a truly excellent laugh with Ian's tangent-busting interjections. Keeps you on your mental toes I can tell you, but Ian's such a delight to work with it's like sitting in a pub with a mate you've known all your life and flinging historical facts and figures around in an informal discussion - just with no pint to sup.<BR/><BR/>I absolutly adore doing these bits for the Nightshift/shirt - way more than even I thought I would, but there again with a guide like the boss at the helm, what should I have expected?<BR/><BR/>We also did a pre-recording for a future Nightshift on his birthday morning, and it was a pleasure to have played a little part in Ian's special day - well worth battling the snow to get there on time.<BR/><BR/>Have to admit with the forecast being so ghastly I decided to make sure of getting in before 9.30am so I left (and Ian's not aware of this lol) Cramlington at 7.00am, getting into the car park at 7.25, Journal in hand for a read, energy drink open and a cheese and pickle sandwich to be eaten as the snow pelted down turning Spital Tongues into a beautiful-looking landscape.<BR/><BR/>All very much worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>Now... the next doorstep.... hmmm better start researching now.... cheers gang - take care.<BR/><BR/>LawrenceLawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467651453019185759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-76127181167393834122008-12-04T22:08:00.000+00:002008-12-04T22:08:00.000+00:00Hello ... you know the bag of silly presents I di...Hello ... you know the bag of silly presents I did for Ian? Do you do that in your family? I'm afraid that's what happens in my family when someone reaches a birthday of note! When I had my 50th birthday I remember unwrapping one of the presents and finding a garden gnome! He was so pointless, but he certainly made me laugh! I thought it was lovely that Ian's fellow presenters sang "Happy Birthday" to him and that they brought him a cake. Ahhh! Wasn't it nice? And Sid's revelations about all that happened in 1948 ("besides your mam's big event") that was a brilliant idea. <BR/>And, Ian, you got SO many cards! However did they all know it was your birthday? That will have to remain as one of Life's eternal mysteries!Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-7903505101894049962008-12-04T13:24:00.000+00:002008-12-04T13:24:00.000+00:00Oh dear, now we've even got this Freudian slip [?]...Oh dear, now we've even got this Freudian slip [?] in writing! LOZ, I think you might have an idea about this "shirty" business. You mentioned certain shirts "made of neon" in your limerick? Enjoyed last night's On Your Doorstep as always.<BR/><BR/>IAN, KEV - I'm afraid I lost the will to live after about the third or was it the fourth set of numbers? For sure when it came to doing all kinds of arithmetic :-)) <BR/><BR/>HILDIE - you were the star of Ian's birthday Nightshift and you certainly deserve such a title as does the recipient. I was almost as excited about what he would find next in his bag of goodies as Ian was. By the time I clocked out, he still hadn't opened all of them!<BR/><BR/>SID, that was a lovely idea of yours - Ian obviously enjoys such trips into the world of nostalgia.Ingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779944343500476252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-31648171571387372202008-12-04T13:14:00.000+00:002008-12-04T13:14:00.000+00:00Hello .... this morning's programme was great fun,...Hello .... this morning's programme was great fun, wasn't it?

I'm sure that I speak for us all when I give a resounding reply of 'Because you're worth it!'<BR/>I love that idea of previous home addresses. I've actually already got a few of mine gleaned from estate agents websites .. or is that cheating? <BR/>You've GOT to go west young man when visiting the Netherlands. Try Hengelo and Enschide, near to the German border. It's still farming country with friesan cows in the fields, windmills and lovely old farmhouses. Every town has a Rijkmuseum, not just Amsterdam, with marvellous collections of paintings and artefacts. You'd love it!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970514527569249776noreply@blogger.com
