Little badges - Bad news always gets buried

Hi

The virtual kettles on..... So while I let it boil i just have this to say

There's a lot of bad news out there... I appreciate that, but of course some news is more bad (wow terrible English).

Some of you may have heard about (as the newspapers and media channels like to put it) Chaos, crisis, catastrophe, plunging stocks, since records began news that the finances of the nations might not be as healthy as we thought in 2007-2008. But amazingly and to prove a point that really bad news is buried, I have only just found out from a mate down the pub that.........


....... Bill Oddie the great Bird watcher and gruff grumpy and dangerous wildlife Tv presenter has walked away from the next series of Spring Watch!!!

I know.....That's what I said! I used more 4 letter words than that, well I had had a few glasses of Exmoor gold, but yes, the sentiment was the same.

Bill Oddie is Spring Watch! I can't get enough of the Live Spring Watch and Autumn Watch episodes when they are on. Bill is often off hand, grumpy, impassioned, and does not suffer fools gladly. You never know what he is going to do or say and for that matter even though they do rehearsals neither do the directors!!

Tv gold happens nightly as Bill often has to correct the other woman ..... what's her name... no can't remember, as she chattily gives over a fact that she has been given as if it's her own (Kate Humble i think) and Bill rolls his eyes and corrects her like a school master would.

After I had cleaned up after spilling my pint at the news, and realising that it had been well and truly hidden in the news, I decided to wear an arm band in memory of the great man.

Come back Bill! All is forgiven, even your dirty sex talk about the ducks in the studio, not quite Manuelgate but very close given the audience.

We have a very popular badge that says 'I'm an Oddie Watcher' see website: http://thebiglittlebadgeco.com under Film and Tv, but of course I am going to have to change that to 'Where's Oddie' now!



Oddie we love you and salute you.

Oh well that's me done for the day..... the virtual kettle has boiled now

Milk or sugar?

Well that's me
