Feel very sad about Bob Monkhouse, I liked him. It is a shame how a star that once burnt so brightly suddenly faded and died.

It has been a very merry Christmas this year, the ladyfriend and I put ourselves about in many a house and home and did imbibe a plenty - God bless the infant child.

Ofcourse the icing on the cake was Monarch of the Glen It certainly excelled itself for the Christmas edition. Good old Susan Hampshire, her dedication to her part could teach the youngsters a thing or two. Fabulous although dyslexic.

TV certainly was a dissapointment over the holidays, repeat after repeat. Channel 4 should tap into it and do 100 Favourite repeats. It does tickle me when watching repeats of those nostalgia programmes where they pull up a handful of "celebrities" to comment on flock wallpaper, Tizwas etc - I don't titter at their scripted comments, I find humour in the fact that their showbiz careers have already fizzled out after a few years. You may aswell of had strangers on the street. These programmes are only a few years old yet are aged as the shelf life of celebrity these days is so slight. Which brings me round niceley to ask will we ever see the likes or endurance of Bob Monkhouse again?
