Me too. Sentamu’s words on the subject resonated with me – that he’d realised he was missing his voice, because no-one else was telling us exactly what was happening there.

Oooh, i had a private bet on whether it would be you or Chris that said that 🙂 You win 🙂
Football coverage in the 1970’s and 80’s… counts, perhaps. But in seriousness, no he certainly didn’t and i was glad enough of that as a child, nevermind as an adult.
Not sure i was counting it as a special qualification, more just as a personal reason for being touched by it and why i put it on my blog. After all, that is partly the point of a blog, isn’t it, to put across your view point, and why you have it?

Oh, I had a private bet as to whether you’d mention Hillsborough in your reply 😉
As to your last sentence – sure. I think it’s the “therefore” that I found rather grating. As if anyone needs a reason beyond being a human being.

Sigh… well, i just wrote it, without any intentional weighting to the words. If i spent any time thinknig seriously about sentence construction, i’d be a journalist too.
I’m perfectly sure Chris would call you an awkward woman too Greerie 🙂

……I think you need to add as ‘so far’ to your comment Chris. I suspect they are still concocting a very elaborate, long and painful, response to your awkward suggestion.
Did your dad do a lot of war reportage then? 😉
Not sure anyone needs any special qualifications to be hoping he’s ok!

Grin, so erm… not at all then 😉
It’s fine Merry, I got your point, I reckon Alison is just being awkward 😉
OMG. *ducks and runs off* 😉
Mr Bean! ME???? I shall shun you 😛
Ha, I’ve told Layla andAlison that they were awkward, at the same time and survived. I have no fear now 🙂
that might have been beginners luck, I wouldn’t push things love!
Lol, Helen, I thought he was quite experienced with awkward women 😉
Blimey – I’m off.. *runs out quick* 🙂

I am never awkward.. I am blissfully enjoying life on planet Greer where the weather is lovely 😆
