Song - Always a Beatles' song. Currently - "She's leaving home".

Film - A matter of life and death (David Niven and Kim Hunter) again,currently.

Group - The Beatles - Always.

Toon Player - Probably Jinky. I was too young to appreciate Tony Green in his limted appearances.

Footballer Generally - It would be easy to say Pele but I'd be a liar if I said that I appreciated him in the 1970 World Cup because I wasn't yet 8 years old. Of the rest; probably Cruyff.

Event that has happened - No contest - The Mackems going down to Division 3. I'll never forget that day!

Future Event - The Mackems going down to Division 3.

Thank you very much. You've been a wonderful audience.

Song - at present, Star by Dubstar, heard for the first tim,e in ages earlier this week. Film - one or all of Kind Hearts and Coronets, Lavender Hill Mob, Thirty Nine Steps (Robert Donat version), Mutiny on the Bounty (Clark Gable version), Whisky Galore, Blue Lamp, Terminator Two, Last Supper, Whatever happened to baby Jane?, Gone with the Wind, Grease Band - none in particular but I'm hoping that Pulp do another album of "Different Class" stature Toon player - past, too many to mention, currently Warren Barton and Big Al. Footballer generally - as above. Ally McCoist is dead horny, too Future event - NUFC winning things.

Past event - The Keegan days; sounds pathetic but getting my A Level results..I'd worked madly hard for them and got that glow you get when you are rewarded for your own hard work; meeting my ex-boyfriend Ed who is just about the funniest, cleverest person I've known - I'll love him forever even though he supports Villa.

Brilliant, Buff. By the way, ages you wrote a great thing about Consett and Leadgate. I did reply but I don't know whether you saw my reply thanking you for a posting that I really appreciated. Dr Bill gave me a great aerial photo of Shotley Bridge (hospital included) a few weeks ago - wonderful.
