Ay up!

Gillian Anderson = the sultry redhead Agent Scully from the X-files.

And yes, Mrs BB does know about this....

Also in a couple of Dickensian productions.

The last woman to hold BBs wallet was his mum!!

Personally, I'd prefer Hannah Gordon to Gillian Anderson. However, being realistic, I can't see either coming my way!!

Ay up, PP!

Nah, Mrs BB holds the Wallet regularly, showing considerable courage, I may add.

Knowing my luck, I'd be more likely to get Dirty Gertie from No 30!

No, I've not lost the plot. Nor me wallet, for that matter.

Just a flight of fancy.

Lets stick to Gillian Anderson presenting and let me drool quietly at the back, hoping no-one sees me.

Quite frankly, given the "performance" of our railways, should we even be bothering with these Oscars until we have a railway fit for purpose?

Ay up, Micky!

You are one of the many who know what your job is.

Sadly the awards will go to people who don't know the difference between a "Theatre Box" and a B1!

I reckon if you do a job you enjoy then it may be called work but is it?

I was in a job that was so stressful I had two minor heart attacks and a minor stroke in the space of 6 months.
