About Me

- Crook, County Durham, United Kingdom
- I am a retired NHS Personnel person. All I do nowadays is walk about. I used to have my pet dog Bruno with me (in the front page pic). he was Superdawg but he died. Now I have Lucky the pup. He's a bit like Bruno, only smaller and more suspicious.

Mike,
I am not religious in the slightest but i am gob smacked at that. I wish i had been there.
Truly wonderful.
I wasn't going to click on that, but I'm glad I did. Brought tears to my eyes, how wonderful, wish I had been there. Please tell me how to paste it into my blog.
Thanks Alan and Llona - it's cracking stuff, isn't it - beautiful music, joyous singing, it's christmas, it's a surprise, its religious or spiritual, if you're religious or spiritual, or just bloody uplifting and just a wonderful event - and a bit of marketing for a photography company... Anybody failing to be moved by this is probably beyond hope.
Llona if you hover your mouse over the video and right click, you can see an option "get html code" (or something like that - get the code and just paste it into a blog post.
Alternatively, you can watch it on youtube and there's an "embed" buttoon that does the same thing.
If it all goes badly wrong, I can email the code to you.
Absolutely Fantastic! Best thing I've seen on YouTube for Evah!!!
We all liked it here, Shirl. (Bruno's not too bothered as it happens) Gold star to JJ for finding it...
I like it. Anybody for an "impromptu" pie fight in Mike's local shopping centre?
John
They don't have shopping centres in Crook, John.
They do have pie fights on Hope Street on Friday nights, but without the pies...
But we could start a trend....
What a brave girl to be the first to stand up.
Mike, I have copied it, but I can't paste it into my blog post. The paste on the menu is not bold so I can't click on it. I have had this problem before. When I put a link in I have to physically type in the whole address.
I've managed to put it on my blog, thanks, but I haven't been able to post it on Down The Lane forum. Not sure why it won't work there.
Very brave, Rachel. They must have rehearsed quite a bit, though, so she'd have known that she'd soon be joined.
Llona - There might be a bit of code missing on the second blog you're trying to post to. Sometimes bits seem to disapear at random. Try copying the code to a notepad or word file and make sure there's eight lines of code.
Thanks Mike, someone did it for me on the forum after I made a right cock up of it. I am not very techy
Brilliant video (gave me those goose pimples again) - btw don't forget to post a pic of Bruno in his new antlers!
Might be a while before we can get to Antlers-R-Us as the weather is getting ever madder here. Another half a foot fell today. The Cross Fell glacier is finally starting to move again after 13000 years....
Mike
Your latest cabin fever post is not loading have you deleted it?
Alan
Cabin Fever was deleted. I was tring to upload a video of superdawg, but it kept falling over (video not dog)
So I got fed up and deleted it in a spiteful huff.... I've just brought the computer back in from the snowdrift in the front garden. I'll get the window fixed tomorrow.
That was uplifting. Are they doing a tour, do you know? Would make a change at meadowhall from the 'jolly' xmas scene with disney songs
I think they're one-offs, Tony. This was in Canada, apparently, although it looks like the metrocentre. Everywhere looks the same , innit? There's hope for civilisation when this kind of thing happens, though.
Thats what I think anyway!
