Ha ha sure do remember, slightly off topic but I also worked with a fella that was Nicknamed Number 7 because he was as stubborn as fuk

The Princess Bride

I always thought it was amazing that he was constantly smiling and happy despite only having the bears and the auld man for company.

Am asking myself,all sorts of different questions,now that I'm all grown up;).

I remember 3 girls singing 'Maybe' in one of our school Easter concerts. Sharon Corr was one of them.

Yeah we were pals. Me, her and two other girls used to play together for a time. I remember we went through a spell of meeting by our local church to play with me and my friend's pups. Caroline and Andrea were quite young, they'd love when my friend and I would have our dogs with us when we'd call for Sharon. The other girl was a close friend of Sharon's, she was nice, had a good singing voice too. Her and Sharon used to sing Ebony and Ivory together really well.

Think it was based on this

Nah...I just knew Andrea and Caroline to see when we got older and I haven't seen Sharon in years.

I absolutely loved that show, brings back memories of carefree and less complicated times.

So true...:)

Listening to the theme tune filled me up with tears. Sad in a way but nice to remember a time when things were simple and uncomplicated. Mam and Dad loved me and I loved them. Things like that can be taken for granted but they shouldn't..:)

Yeah, well said. The memories of childhood come flooding back when I listen to the tune and see the tv clips.
