Hi, hi blackbird

He whistled down the phone briefly and my dog had apoplexy. The pure, piercing snatch of a legend and the barmy thing scuttled off behind the greenhouse searching for intruders!

Ronnie is here for a Music Hall festival and a special show. He comes from a variety age when entertainers had real talent. His is unique. He made Marilyn Monroe shiver, Roy Roger’s horse Trigger was off his oats for days but I bet the blackbirds in Weston super Mare have an extra spring in their step this spring.

Do you take this cow?
A couple who fell in love while they played the role of a pantomime cow are getting married. Go on pull the udder one.

Kevin Blackburn and Sharon Colley met when they played Daisy in Babes in the Wood with a Lincolnshire drama group.

Kevin says he doesn’t mind he met Sharon when she was playing the rear end of a cow. Well at least she shouldn’t run off with the milkman.

At a crossroads in his life
A wife says her husband’s obsession with road signs has taken over their lives.

Graham Stanton from Worcester has spent 25 years collecting 700 road signs. They fill several rooms of their house. Why can’t he use wallpaper like anybody else?

His wife Lynne has told him to rent a warehouse to keep the signs or give up his hobby.

Sounds to me like he’s facing a crossroads in his life and unless he heeds the signs could find himself in a no entry zone.
