Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan
What a man!
RIP
Incred skills in the commentary box. Him and Gorilla Monsoon were the nut combo. Decent manager as well, he just seemed to thrive having the camera on him. He looked so frail and different to how I remember him from my childhood His runs with Perfect and Flair were brilliant. The interview after Flair won the rumble I can remember like it was yesterday. But his time with Monsoon, they were the perfect double act. #Legend

first impressions? i think jonnie and oti will be extremely popular with the voters Think Jonnie wins if he can show some progression by about week 6. Pairing him with Oti is excellent for his chances, she has a real reputation as a task master and last year showed she can really put a dance together. Happy to oppose Alexander and Mollie. Gemma is interesting, seemed very flat footed in the group dance but her personality may be enough to keep her going until the business end of the comp. Have had a small dabble to keep some interest.

My eldest started school this week, and today was her first full day. Today she came home with a bible. The book is a gift from a local church. It's a small Christian village school. On the open day I raised the issue of religion and was told the school was run to Christian values but matters of faith were not within the early years of the curriculum. I am not aware our faith has been discussed/confirmed nor was it stated on the application for the school.
Is it right for a school to give away bibles on behalf of a local church?

Andrew Fairlie's restaurant @ Gleneagles is the best dining experience's I have ever had. Made to feel very welcome and special on both occasions I have attended. The food is out of this world and personal. Nothing was too much effort. Not at all what I expected it to be. Had a Lobster and a Lamb main and both were taste sensations. I am no fine dining regular but would imagine it takes some beating on a UK stage.
My favourite meal ever was Cabo Wabo on the strip - double portion of the extra hot wings, drinking crazy cocktails looking at the Bellagio fountains watching the world go by before being unexpectedly invited to my own wedding, a brilliant and unexpected evening.
Having said all that I a m great believer in the company makes the night - Soulville Nottingham with 15 odd poker players for the first Dtd bash was an epic night. Laz, Thomas, Boo and more hero's made it one of the more memorable nights of my life.

Used to love that shirt when I was a kid. The white sleeves were always way too baggy on my, then, very skinny body, but it was magic, and I was John Radford!
Can't tell you how many goals I scored in that shirt with the words "Sunderland . . . Its there" ringing in my ears. Football was so much more fun then.

How do you get to the stars rewards store?
Via the cashier. I can't see a button in the cashier Ralph. On a PC, click on my stars on the right of the tournament lsist. When that comes up it is on the left of the my stars lobby. You won't get rewards quickly, unless you are very very lucky. Have you never seen Tom play poker? he has been getting lucky since the first day he opened the Laddie's client

Arundel Castle - http://www.arundelcastle.org/ Warning its fantastically expensive. Not like anything I have ever seen before, more opulence then Buc House and Sandringham. and the chapel is as breath taking as the Sistine. The cricket history might be a good tie in for you as well. Holkham Hall - https://www.holkham.co.uk/The best bit of Palladian architecture in the world, it is quite breath taking. Houghton Hall - https://www.houghtonhall.com/The building and decoration is well worth a visit, and the political history of the place fascinating, however the gardens and buildings within are again unlike anything I ever seen before. Well worth taking the tour guide as so much of Britain's political history is based there in some way. Felbrigg Hall - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felbrigg_HallWell if you are in Norfolk anyway . . . its just a standard Country house but the gardens especially the Victorian ground with the orangery is the most peaceful place for me in the world. Oxburgh Hall - https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/oxburgh-hallOld, very old 15th century(?), great moat just a nice place to be.
