Ok we are almost a week into 2009, just don't ask where 2008 has gone because I just don't know. I have cricket pictures I've not yet uploaded, well thats a fib I had everything ready on the desktop computer, the the HDD decided to crash, after taking apart and fixing. I was in my local staples and saw a laptop on sale too good to turn down, so I bought and loaded with webstuff. On the night I was going to up load pictures I didn't. I should have done because the next morning my boot manager went missing so it was a complete reload. Still I will get there one day.
I don't know if many read this or I write to myself, but if anyone who used the message boards does. I think I owe you all a big appology first for shutting it without notice and secondly for not realising that people had stopped posting or were worried what they posted was up for ridicule. That was never my intention when the board was started, it was just meant to be a fun place.
But from the emails and messages I've had since I can see it wasn't.
Looking forward into the new year, I find I'm behind on a lot of things on the site, hopefully this year I'll catch up but this thing called real life keeps getting in the way.
A bit of news I have is that Dale Meeks (Remember Simon the fishman later binman? ) is bringing out his very first single around March. Some thing to look forward to I think, I've been told he was very good with Mark when they did the Blues brothers in Stars in their eyes, on bit of TV I never did see. I should go search youtube I think.....

Christmas Lights
Well it's November and the Christmas decs are up in the village, there is even a scattering of snow. This of course for filming. There is from what I've read to be a lot of comings and goings of villagers. If rumour is to be believed more than a couple of deaths. Which means I should get my finger out and start updating the site. Things in RL though have been hectic so hobbies have to go on hold.
Once again Em missed out on the NTA's makes me think that allowing online voting in it's present form isn't biased towards the younger viewers who know what an email address is and have many more than just one. Then again I could be totally wrong and everyone just voted once.
I do prefer the NTA's though as the form allows one to skip catagories that are of no interest. which for me is most of them.
Whilst I'm in a complaining mood, I have a record series thing on my freeview so of course I put Em on it. However for some reason when it's on for an hour it doesn't always get recorded.
Weird or what?

Autumn
Can I sound like Annie used to now, and talk though what used to be the break in the Emmerdale seasons? Well i would if I could remember what she said. I can remember the tractor harvesting on the screen with her voice giving the goings on of the summer.
I think my goings on will be just a little different to what has been seen on screen. Mind you there have been simularities, as in visits to hospital, a person hitting his wife, the police involved with crimes. As yet though no one as far as I know has pretended to be an authur. Big business too I know nothing about here, then again I'm totally lost to what business Donald is in. When we first came across it Nicola was running it in an office with a lady helper. Since then it's needed Carl as an MD and is run from a house. confused? I am. I wonder to what happened to the helper I'm ashamed to say I can't remember her name, but her like Rosemarys housekeeper I'd have liked to have seen more of. .....

Two awards for Emmerdale this year, Best Episode for Daniels death and Mr Fee for 30 years....... I had to laugh as one of the newspapers called him a "backroom boy" I wonder if they had ever met him, I don't think boy describes him at all.
As I rarely watch other soaps I can't compare. Although I have been told EE has got better since the gangsters have gone.
This afternoon I find myself writing this during the ominibus. I never had time to watch all week, this happening more and more often recently. Although I'm pleased for the time being at least there have been just 5 half hour episodes. I hope when the football finishes it doesn't go back.

March 2008
Ok so I know when I started this writing lark I'd never be any good at it. I don't supposed anyone reads it anyways I know I don't, well apart from when I'm typing as I have to go back and fix typos. Now that is one thing I'm good at.
Anyways another FCW has come and gone, I've put some pictures on the site but for some reason I'm slower this year. I suppose it could be a lot of outside influences but there you go.
It was a good weekend better than some, it seemed more relaxed. The only reason I can think of was there wasn't a film crew trying to get footage. It wasn't just the fans that were that way but in the Evening, the cast and crew were too. Though I suppose it could be because it was held in February so not on top of Christmas and New Year.
The weather was nice too, which made for good traveling. I think I made good time on those long roads. I keep meaning to time myself on the actual driving just to see it it matches up with multi map or the AA sites. One day I'll do it.
Now I have a dilemma, I have this gigantic bottle of champagne I could drink, but it's covered in Emmerdale autographs. So do I drink and save or do I just save. Does champagne mature with time like cheese or does it go off? I think I'll ponder on it.

Where has time gone?
It's really been one of those years. I've not even finished putting the Cricket pictures up yet. Slow or what?
Tonight was another hour special. How many is that in the last few months? If Emmerdale has to be on 6 nights a week the programme schedulers could at least leave it to the regular time rather than try and win this out dated ratings war in the evening. All it does is upset viewers who watch all soaps. Now days they are repeated so many times does it really matter which one is watched at the set time? So it's not true ratings at all.
In fact it would be better for me to have Emmerdale on two nights a week for an hour but there you go viewers don't really count just the advertisers these days. Though one would have thought that the advertisers would want what the viewers want or is that too simple a thing?
The programme itself, well there's to be changes up ahead, the producer Kath Beedles is to be leaving next year and another female stepping into her shoes. What changes lie ahead? Kath seems to have bought more of the countryside into Emmerdale so I hope that continues also the small but still significant farming stories such as Jo's goats and the petting zoo. I never did work out if the zoo was supposed to be permanent or a one day feature. the latter I guess, though to make it permanent would be something as Esholt where filming was before the purpose built village has something similar for the children. Nice to to see there can be at least one happy well in fact there are two happy pairs in the village, Lisa and Zak also Ashley and Laurel the latter could be going through what many newlyweds do "in laws!!"
Now the choices for tonight, put up those pictures, go out in the rain and get milk which I need, or play in facebook then again apart form a couple of sites that need updating the ironing keeps calling me. Help!!!!

Long break
I'm a useless blogger, things keep getting in the way to me sitting here typing. I'm not even keep the site upto date as much as I would like. Though I managed to get to a couple of cricket matches this year. Was good to catch up with friends again.
The cricket was fun the first match was at Branston. I was suprised how relaxed it was. I did feel sorry for the BBQ volunteers, the fire they had was miles to small for the amount of people waiting for burgers. But they carried on in the heat having to restock every 20 minutes.
The next weekend was at Ackworth, that again was very relaxed. We only stayed for the first innings though as we went to Garforth and caught the second half of the football.
Having seen Verity and Lucy at least three times in as many days, I'm sure they must have thought we were stalkers or something. Still they shouldn't worry as we wont be there again until February. I learnt over the last weekend that the same people go and stand outside the studio weekly or even more often.
One of the places we went to was the bookies where Marlon was shot. It was a real bookies on an estate. I'd never find it again as I wasn't driving.
I just hope the next oen doesn't take as long to get up..... but with me, it could be Christmas before I get here again, then again didn't I hear Christmas is cancelled this year?
