maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted April 8, 2013 Helen Fawkes was talking over the weekend about the highs and lows of her situation. Another variation on Warren Zevon's classic; "enjoy every sandwich" philosophy but she clearly doesn't expect to see 2014. If she does, she's nailed on for the likes of us!

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted July 12, 2013 Perhaps I'm just imagining it but I swear Whicker had his own thread here somewhere that had an obscure name or something. I thought I saw it bumped just a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was just some other thing where he happened to get discussed. Blah. There are so many threads on here it's like trying to blindly remember all the different flavours of ice cream there are. Sad death, I love old school BBC and ITV people.
