I said this only a few weeks ago and nobody took any notice but..............

................having seen the images thrown onto Buck House last night I still think a sound and light show against St Mary's would add to the experience of attending an evening game.

I know what I would like to see as images projected onto the walls as I approach the ground so what would you want to see and should Nicola give this serious consideration?

 

Mrs Godders up in lights?

 

Impossible.

You guys would be eaten up with jealousy and would pester the living daylights out of me wanting to know how an ugly old bugger such as me could end up with such a stunningly beautiful wife.

 

Excuse me for not reading the latest Epistle of St Godders, and tuning in on a daily basis to keep abreast of your latest earth shattering ideas, mate..! [I realise I'm taking the piddle quite badly here, but you do generalise a bit, with your everybody and nobody]

Seems to me, for a Republican you took a lot of interest in the events this last weekend..‽ [Interrobang time again]. I've been keeping a very low profile, due to extreme lack of interest. I read that a significant number of the UK took the same line. Well done to them. Let's hope [speaking to Godders here, not openly, so no offence to those who tug the forelock] that's the last Jubilee you have to watch and I have to avoid.

Popped over to see my 97 year old Mum today. She's going to send a letter to the Queen when she hits 100. That's the spirit..!

 

I have to say some of the images projected on Buckingham Palace were brilliant, in particular those for Madness, where they turned the palace into a modest terrace. Genius. The only place I could see them working is on the evening games, midweek. The outside of St Marys would look great as, say, the Colosseum.

 

Just a number. The amount of places between us and the blue few in the league pyramid.

 

^^^^^^
excellent idea

 

That is a brilliant idea Channon you should write and tell Nicola. I should think you would get an aknowledgement in the Programme for suggesting it.

It would look really great. The lighting effects that is.

 

I was in Le Puy-en-Velay in the Auvergne when the Queen mum was celebrating her 1ooth birthday. We had just enjoyed a superb meal in a restaurant in a backstreet which had been recomended to us by a local chef. We were the only Brits in the place all the rest were locals and I said to the owner when paying the bill that the very lovely Mrs Godders and I had very much enjoyed our meal and would he thank the chef for us. He said that he was sure the chef would like to meet us and a few momnets later his wife who turned out to be the chef was at our table enjoying a drink. It turned out that she had been the Queen Mum's chef for many years and that she had been watching all the celebrations of her birthday with great interest, She then explained that when she gave birth to her first child the Queen Mum visited her in hospital to see her new baby and spent quite some time with them. All of this set me thinking when I read a few weeks ago of some strange scandal about the Queen Mum being the daughter of a French cook! Do the Royal family normally visit their servants in hospital? Or was this woman a little more than just a servant.

 

Godders, I think you are reading a bit much into the Queen Mother's well known kindness. My mother-in-law was in service for many years and she said the upper classes were much nicer to servants than the middle classes. She said the middle classes (in her day) were afraid to get things wrong, whereas the upper classes had no such problem. In one stately home she worked in, the titled daughter of the house would say that she was going into town and offered to pick things up for the maids and even once offered my mother-in-law a lift.
