Many years ago I rubbed shoulders with "Babs" - she got her MBE from the Queen on the same day my dad received his OBE. See, it's not just Nass who mixes with esteemed company at the points (btw Nass - I just bet there was a girl called Jemima there )
And we had a long chat with Babs on a seat outside her pub one Christmas. My son was on one knee and my daughter on her other knee. I didn't get a look in though.
Went to see Carry on Camping on my own when on the family holiday on the Isle Of Man. F..k me it was the best treat I received on that holiday. Evey day on the beach with my Mum, Dad and Grandad I kept expecting the live version!
No way, Stick old friend, that's the one thing I'd have you beat! Digressing totally, got to get out and look for a present for my daughter's birthday in a week or so (apparently she does not want a hossracing tip from me; shame that). Have to find something, but quick. You know, I wanted to include the words Persian War in her Christian names, but her Mama would have nothing to do with it. My lass said she would never have forgiven me! Dunno why, he was a cracking good hurdler!
