As we prepare for Any Questions tomorrow here is
the traditional postcard from Big Sis:
who adds: "You may well ask "What connection does the town have with TE Lawrence?" to which I'll have to confess that this is a little homage to an lovely elderly gentleman I once knew well, who lived in Stamford, and who served with Lawrence of Arabia in WW1. I think both of them deserve a little memorial, don't you?"
Eddie Mair chairs this week's Any Questions? from Stamford Boys School in Stamford, Lincolnshire as Guests of the Stamford Rotary Club
The panel will include:
GREG DYKE: ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s former Director General
TARIQ ALI: Writer, Journalist and Film-maker
KELVIN MACKENZIE: Media Entrepreneur
RACHEL JOHNSON: Author and Columnist for The Sunday Times
The audience will include FIFI :_)
Eddie -
Will you be conducting the now traditional and rather unique 'Train Blog'?
Can you borrow a sat nav and let us know where you are en route?
Thank you, Eddie, for posting that up - more for the lovely chap I referred to (now, sadly, dead), who I knew well and made a huge impression upon me. :o)
And good luck tomorrow night at Stamford (and on Saturday, too, of course).
Oh, no it won't Jonnie (1).
Too slow off the mark, me.
:o(((
Fifi
Two questions:
1. Where did my earlier comment on this thread go? Where I explained that I hadn't managed to get a ticket to AQ in my own town, on my other half's birthday??
2. Why won't the blog remember my details any more?
Fifi :o(((
Ah - and I thought it was only me the blog was forgetting!
It's forgetting me too....and I keep forgetting it keeps forgetting me! Grrrrrr....
Fifi-
I'm sure you could get returns- SOMEONE x2 must be incubating somehing minor at this moment- fingers crossed!
Poor them, lucky you.

Molly (8) : I have had my name down for Returns since last Friday. In fact, I am top of the Returns list!
Nothing doing.
I'm not the sort to hang around stage doors, so I'll just try to forget about it and concentrate on making it a nice birthday for SO in other ways.
Fifi xx
Fifi
You're quite right.
Stupid suggestion- I'm certainly not wishing the sniffles on anyone!!
Have a lovely day!

... and then I got a phone call from the Box Office:
"How many tickets were you looking for?"
* does very silly dance around the room *
Am off to collect them now!
(a very happy) Fifi :o)))
Oh, Fifi, lucky you!
Now, will you get to speak to the great man, I wonder?
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Dave! You do realise that Fifi has prepared a lovely birthday treat, just with you in mind, don't you? ;o)
I knew she was going! When you are in the know - so to speak :-)
Isn't it wonderful that we don't have to suffer the awful JD tonight and tomorrow.
