I can’t stand the arrogant Giles Coren.
(Fanny I’m afraid Ian Payne bats for the other side, so it would have to be platonic)

Same question please

Holly Are you sure about that? Where did you hear that?
He was married and has AC.
I’m stunned!

Gordon Ramsay - cant stand the man. Not just the arrogance but he is a foul mouthed bully.

Which TV personality do you think has been misjudged? Maybe you see another side to them.

I think David Beckham gets a worse press than he deserves. Yes he mouthed off about not getting an honour but he does a lot for charity/sport and is a great role model. People who have achieved a lot less have been honoured.

I can’t stand the arrogant Giles Coren.

Same question please

Not exactly a crush, but I’m always disappointed when Owain Wynne-Evans doesn’t do our weather forecast.

Which TV personality do you think is most self obsessed. I can’t take to Freddie Flintoff.

Hugo Bachega at present. But I am very fickle .

Same question please

Oh, I can definitely see his appeal Holly
Broadcasters have always been my cup of tea, I’ve also got a 20 year old thing for Ian Collins!

Ooh Holly! Spooky! ?
That was going to be my question!
Imagine my surprise to see that you’d got there first!
I’m going to have to look up Tom ND now, I don’t know who he is.
My current weird crush is a presenter on LBC called Ian Payne.
I know that we’d make a lovely couple.

Same question, of course
(*Ken*, I’m not going to let you get away with you-know-who, he’s not at all weird enough)

It affects my investments.

Do you have any strange crushes? (Tom Newton Dunn ?)

I dont have any strong feelings either way but am generally in favour of monarchy (albeit a very much cut down scandi one) rather than a republic.

Does the value of the £ on international markets immediately affect you/your family?

It affects my business as I buy in stock from overseas for my business.

Indifferent and fear he may pop up again in 24…
Are you a Republican or a Monarchist?

NotAGran good morning!
Is it you who is hosting 20 at Christmas? Sorry if I’ve got that wrong - I know someone started a thread about it recently

I like cooking vegetable stew when I’m in the mood.
I put everything in it other than meat.
Im not a keen cook, I wish that I was.
If I spend a lot of time cooking something, I don’t want to eat it. And it’s only me and MrFC, so it’s not worth it.

Your reaction to Johnson retreating?
Mine: ?

I’m the middle child and love my big brother and little sister.

What type of food do you enjoy cooking the most and least?
Baking is my favourite and I detest cooking a roast dinner which I will have to do in 2 months time!

Constantly. I worked in primary for over ten years, with some very challenging children.
No kids of my own.
I don’t remember asking for much as a child myself.
I wasn’t spoiled by any stretch, but I never went without either.

I was (am) an only child.
What are you?
Were / are you happy with the situation?

Certainly the evening when Ive dont my tasks for the day and can relax.

Have you ever had to tell a child (or grandchild) that they cant have something and explain the reason?

I was often told this as a kid the usual reason being that there was no money for that.

Torrential rain in Glasgow this afternoon. Had to take refuge in a pub!. Favourite time of day.

No I don't go in for competitions now. I used to but never won anything.

Have you had very heavy rain today? I'm glad of it really as the river nearby had dried up over the summer.

Not any more. They are all adults now, but they used to when they were children and it was good fun, mostly.
(can I just say that I love cats and now that I am getting over losing Wiggy I'm thinking of getting a one. But would the cat rescue places regard me as too old?)

Do you ever enter photographic competitions? The countryfile one, for instance, or the BBC website one?
Or any other competitions similar?

BigLouis that black cat is so handsome.

I adore cats. Over the past 42 years, we've had several (all rescues, apart from my current cat, who was feral. He's now 19, deaf, has only got one eye, no fangs, and he cannot climb now. Here he is....(before he lost one eye)

Do your grandchildren sleep over at your home?

Oh he’s lovely! I’d love a black cat. ?
Both I’m afraid.
I always say that I love ‘my’ dog, but I love ‘all’ cats.
My dogs really have been my children.

What about you?
Dogs, cats, both, neither?

I love to watch the cats patrolling the area and traipsing through my garden. There is a big black fluffy one who comes to watch me whenever I do a photo shoot.

Are you a cat or a dog person?

I have worn glasses since I was nine. I have since lockdown used a computer quite a lot and lately have noticed a change in one eye especially. I have an appointment at the optician next week.
We have the most beautiful tree in our front garden, now the leaves are a bright orange and yellow. Do you have anything near you that lifts your heart?

Reading a book in my grandmothers house (age 4) and she rewarded me with a cream cake.

Do you need glasses to use a computer or tablet?

My eyesight is not what it was but I can still manage without them.

Cliff Richard - Living Doll

What is your earliest childhood memory?
For some reason, I remember struggling to climb over a little step to get to the kitchen. I probably was about 2- 3 years old

Marc Bolan, the first single I brought was Jeepster. sad he wasn’t around for longer.

Same question again.
