Is little Donald a bit like ….
another President we all know??? Now you’ll have to watch!!
He was class ….
I was so sorry to hear of Ronnie Corbett’s death. May he rest in peace. What memories that little man holds for all of us. Together with the “other Ronnie”, he brought much laughter to us all in a way that was as appropriate as it was funny. No screaming or agendas, no tearing down of people to secure a cheap laugh. Mighty stuff. I loved his monalogues at the end of the shows, when he’d sit in a chair that made him look even smaller than he was and tell a wandering story that had a millisecond punchline and four mile walk to reach it! Excellent. I think he inspired many comedians of our day, people like Peter Kay and Rob Brydon come to mind, who manage to make us laugh without making us cringe too. God bless him, comfort his family and grant him Eternal Rest. Going to search now for a few clips that will be easily found when I need to bit of a lift. For a small man, he carried many and lifted them on high ….

Beat this:)
Came across this clip earlier. I always like the beat of the drum (ask anyone who comes to Christmas Eve Mass!!) and thought this was well done …. hope you enjoy! Five minutes or so – wasted but worth it 🙂
“It’s my birthday ….” (Mr Bean)
Today is my birthday! I’m a year now for every week of the year 🙂 Thinking of Mary and Bill (R.I.P.) and thankful they gave me the gift of life. Thankful too, for family and friends – to those who got in touch today – and to all who give me the reason “to be”.
I spoke a while ago with some friends in Washington and they asked “did you do anything special for your birthday?” My initial answer was “no” but that’s not altogether the case. I spoke and spent time with people that matter to me, celebrated Mass in the parish (three times this weekend) and witnessed faith and goodness in action.
It’s difficult at times to realise life is moving at such a pace. Though decades have passed, I feel pretty much the same as I ever felt and am, in the main, content with life. There are certainly times I wish I could say I was doing better work. I read a few pieces from Pope Francis this week and he spoke about not “leaving Jesus in the Church” but bringing him with us into day to day life and situations. I sometimes wonder how I’m doing with that. He also talked about reaching out to those who have “lapsed” from the Faith and, again, I question my success in that regard.
So then, if you’re reading this today (or in the days to come), say a little prayer for me that in the coming year I might prove more effective in this regard.
Thanks to all of you for your kindness and your prayers. I can only hope you know how much I appreciate, acknowledge and, above all, need them.
So, let’s share Mr Bean’s Birthday moment …. I’ll read my cards and texts again 🙂
A great TV moment
A great moment with Dell Boy and Co …..
Helpful Phonecall!!
Yesterday I heard Tommy Marren speaking on his radio show about phonecalls from people offering to fix computer problems. He was warning people not to respond to these calls or engage with the caller. I sent him a recording of one such call. It’s over two years old and runs for about five minutes. I decided to see how long the caller would stay with a troublesome and confused “client”.
Tommy spoke with me about this on this morning’s show so thought I might repeat the call here …
Enjoy! Be aware!! Hang up ……
