CHRISTMAS TV 2009

[Gray]

The Best TV Program over the Festive Period was shown yesterday, 1pm on ITV.

96 minutes I shall watch over, and over and over again

[Marian]

That must have been a really special Christmas/New Year present Gray!!
We enjoyed it too

[Gray]

Hi Marian

For the first time ever I walked into work first day back after a holiday, with a spring in my step and a smile as big as Billy Bremner's heart!

[Marian]

I can imagine Gray! Wonderful result!!
Vinnie Jones was saying how fond he still is of Leeds on CBB last night. I don't
expect he saw the match though, it just holds special memories.
Reading didn't do too bad against Liverpool either. Both our sons were at the match.

Hi Marian

I know what you mean about not knowing who most of the celebs on CBB are - I had a similar feeling about Celebrity Mastermind: I didn't recognise most of them either! It seems anyone can claim the title "celebrity" these days.

My favourite programme over Christmas should have been Doctor Who but it was a disappointing end to the David Tennant era: too long with over-the-top music and a ludicrous plotline. I am glad Russell T Davies (an overrated writer in my opinion) has left, and I'm looking forward to the new series under Steven Moffat.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We were thinking of you Gray and wondered if you were actually at the match.
We know what it means, so really pleased for you.

[ROBERT M.]

It is Stephanie Beacham is CBB, Marian (Ken's love boat interest in Corrie a while back)

[Don Cooper]

Hi,Jon. Fully agree about Russell T. A similar You won't see me for dust stunt was pulled a few years back by the horror author Clive Barker, who is now either a writer in LA or-as evidened by his promo photo's- a matinee-idol/icon. Interestingly, Christopher Eccleston and Robson Greene also sampled the, I'm really too much of a talent to be contained by the mere British Isles route...Soon come back,Luvvies

(Have still to view the Dr.Who) ((Nearly a poem there,Keith))

I thought the final episode of Doctor Who was very disappointing too Jon.
Very slow, much too much dialogue and not enough action.

[Gray]

Hi Lena & Marian

Thanks for your kind words re Leeds, and yes, Marian, Reading almost pulled off a terrific win too.

I have yet to watch Dr Who, it is taped, but thanks for your honest appraisals of it.
If I don't get to view I won't be too fussed.

[ROBERT M.]

Gray, can Leeds cope without Jermaine Beckford ? - who seems a snip at 2-3 million

[mariana44]

Perhaps Leeds will sign up Mr Graham Lawson to help them win the cup---if enthusiasm counts for anything, they will then sail through !!!!!

[Gray]

Well, it's funny you mention me playing profeesional football because modesty has prevented me from letting you in on a little secret - I very nearly made it as a 'pro' and was told I only lack one thing: 'Talent'.



'Course there's life after Beckford, Robert.
He's not bigger than my club, if he doesn't want to play for Leeds , he can just jolly well bog-off.
Good riddence to him.
(But I hope he scores a hat-trick on Saturday if he stays!)

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We seem to be on the same wave length here Gray,... never dwell on anything ..No one is indispensable. On yer bike.

[Marian]

I always remember my father-in-law saying as an example that no one is indispensable," just take your hand out of a bucket of water, once the water settles, it is as if it was never there"!

All the best to Leeds.
