Who was second choice, taking your place, do you know.

There wasn't a second place for this, just the winner. I took up part of the prize, but missed the 'fun' bit.

With some prizes there's a commitment to engage in things for the promoter, but there wasn't with this. So I got a weekend away, all expenses paid, but no promotional stuff.

It didn't involve the women's clothing you'd won did it?

No, that was an ITV win in 2008: £5k cash plus £5k of ladies clothing. SWMBO had a spending spree

I won the car (cash to buy a car), again from ITV, later that year.


A Channel 4 / Jack Daniels prize of a trip to Nashville plus Lynchburg for a gig (Guy Garvey, Richard Hawley/Frank Black) around 2010 did include some ... erm ... interestingly-clad individuals serving drinks and BBQ food. It was part of the JD Set TV programme and a memorable weekend away. Lynchburg is in a dry county though, so no alcohol purchases, not that I drink alcohol these days.

No need for explanation over the clothing . Your secret is safe with me !

Morning.
It looks to be wet and miserable outside from what I can see. I have got to go out and get my booster jab in a while .
It seems as though I was celebrating Amnesia Day yesterday ! I thought I had posted yesterday!
My mind must have been on other things . Vacuuming , dusting , blocking off the chimney and my model .
Georgie has just come up onto the bed to let me know how wet it is outside! He is insisting that I stroke him !

We have been quite lucky only the occasional showers .
Did 22 miles so just enough to stretch the legs

Granddaughter is playing football this morning so, as I'm going to get wet spectating, I might as well get wet riding the 12 miles there & back, too...

Grey and wet outside but tea tastes good, and I don't need to go out in it for at least half an hour, and that will only be a 10 yard dash from flats to car and back, and you can have too many ands in a sentence.

Dull start to the day again but not raining. In fact looks like it may clear up completely as clouds move away. At least we did not have the heavy rain which has caused flood havoc in many places.
We often seem to be in a little pocket which misses some of the bad weather and it can be a nice day here and terrible 10 miles away.
Couple of years ago we had sunshine but thunder rumbling in the distance. My neighbour at that time worked for the local council and after reports of heavy rain was asked to go and report on the condition of bridges at Loch na Keal about 12 miles away.
His report was 4 words. "There are no bridges."
