Tales of Home [8]

{{{I'm old enough to want to punch him in the face for being young, handsome and trendy.

No hold on, on second thoughts that's not fair, I would have wanted to do that even when I was young too  }}

Would you guys mind if I shared a "proud mum" moment ?
My daughter has been a Katie Price aka Jordan lookalike for a few years now, she's had various appointments, photo sessions etc in that time, well, she will be on TV in the new year doing a small comedy sketch so, I hope you don't mind me sharing it ??





This guy is a Ricky Gervais lookalike & Gabs said he was so funny, this is a bit from the tv sketch but, they had to keep re doing the scene as this guy couldn't stop making people laugh

{{{{ Thats your daughter!!! Blimey had I not known she was a lookalike I would not have thought twice about those being genuine pics of the real Katy. She is a better lookalike than the Gervais is no matter how funny he is with it. Congrats to her for getting the gig and TV work

How can I put this tactfully given its your daughter...mmm...aw yes.... I reckon the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree there }}}

Thankyou I'm gonna grab all the compliments I can !

{{{ It's okay, Petty: when I first saw Az's own picture I thought she was a princess Diana look-alike. }}}

OMG !! I am honoured Halfy but, in all honesty, I think I look more like the Royal Corgi than a princess, especially these days    But thankyou,

wowzer she is identical to Katie price. let us know when she is on the telly.

Congratulations on your daughter's success Azriel!

Very cool for her, az.

Thankyou everyone that's kind of you

Flash flood warnings in my area today.

Hope you and yours stay safe, Forest!

I'm fine up here in the hills, but there's probably been some flood damage down along the creeks and what-not.

finally on my way home for christmas and i have (for once) ridicolously good time (oh yeah, norwegian-english, but i don't care..) at the airport bought myself some latte and chocolate croissant to celebrate a B on my practical sign language exam (which i am quite pleased with, especially as no one got an A)!!

oh my God, Azriel! I have no idea who she's supposed to be looking alike (i reckon some british celeb ) but that is SO COOL! you have absolutely every reason to be proud!!

Gratulerer

Congrats on the sign language exam, Norc! Hope you enjoy being home for the holidays. Chocolate croissants are always a nice touch.

Congratulations on your exam result Norc !! Well done That's great news

"Practical Sign Language" is this kind of communication, right?



{{{Still don't understand why she didn't get an A... }}}

Nice one Norc

We had freezing rain overnight here which covered everything with a thin layer of ice. i passed a car that had spun out on the way to work but fortunately there were relatively few people on the road up here. Got sent home from work early since there were so few customers. Elsewhere in the state things apparently got really hairy though, with the worst accident being a 55 car pileup on I-95 just south of the city in which a tanker truck flipped off the road and exploded. It feels extra freaky to me since I've driven that stretch of highway so many times.

You do get the weather bad in USA, Your weather is often mentioned over here, the snow, the storms, the cold etc. Just be careful on the road right ?

Question for my fellow Brits, how long ago was the last White Christmas you remember? There were at least two or three in my childhood, but I can't recall precisely when, it's got to be at least 10 years I think since the last major snow flurry at Christmas (and probably four or five years since we had major snow).

(I live near Fareham, Hampshire so we very rarely get snow this far south, and we are sheltered by the Isle Of Wight anyway)
