    Now all we have to do is stop all that miserable ‘Seasonal’ music from being played in shops and pubs – then it will be just like any other time of the year! 😀

    I agree about that terrible distorted seasonal “muzak”.

    At the risk of going off-topic, what now is to be the future of “The Sky At Night”, the show Patrick Moore presented for over 55 years – since April 1957 I heard?

    Will it go on with a new presenter – or does the show die with him?

    Can’t help but notice that “The Sky At Night” has been somewhat marginalized in the BBC’s schedules in recent times (on BBC-2 or BBC-4 in the wee small hours)

    The show will definitely go on, who will present it is anyone’s guess. They may bring in a regular programme anchor,
    or use some of the regulars in rotation. I think Chris Lintott might be too busy to be a permanent host.
    Perhaps Paul Abel or Pete Lawrence ?

    S@N has always been on at late o’clock. Although BBC Four do show it earlier, and often show an extended version

    They may now film it from a studio ?, as there will now be no need to do it at Patrick’s house. The property has been
    left to his God Sons, so it remains to be see what will happen to it.

    ……..Has anyone here had a ‘cull’ on their card lists recently? ……..

    I did suggest this to my wife, about putting a note into some cards saying this would be the last year
    we are sending them. That really went down well.

    I don’t see the point of sending cards to people you see on a regular basis.

    They certainly have “public relations” down to a fine art.

    I wonder how many watched or recorded the documentary on BBC2 last night ?
    All about the 2011 World tour by Iron Maiden.

    Ed Force One being heavily featured.

    No problem: sounds like a great project for Time Team.

    Unfortunately, Time Team is no more 🙁

    This year saw the final series being recorded. To be replaced (in part) by a new programme called “Village Dig”

    I had intended to try and get there with my other half, but unfortunately can’t now make it.
    Shame as I’d have liked to try my new camera out.

    Nice pictures as always. Were there two of those 737s parked by the old terminal this week ?

    I was recently banned from my local newspaper website. Not for posting
    anything libellous, but for posting a link to a website which they thought could
    contain libellous material. The material had been posted there for a very long
    time, but the newspaper was getting paranoid.

    I just use a different alias now.
