It about time Anne Reid get honored. She done so many parts and been in so many shows Im surprised there isn't a Anne Reid Network!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is simply marvellous! Jx
DeleteWow, that seems like a lot of people, but I guess if your making notes for a full year the list would be quite long. Congratulations to all!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite remarkable. Every year... Jx
DeletePS I'm guessing you actually meant to comment on the "Book of the Dead" post?
DeleteHappy New Year, Sir Jon.
ReplyDeleteMy Damehood was obviously lost in the post. Again!
DeleteHappy 2025! Jx
Happy New Year, Sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah should have been made a Dame. And Anne.
Hope you're not too hung over this morning!
Sxx
Morning?! What a strange concept. I finally went to bed at 5am!
DeleteStart the New Year as you mean to go on, I say. Jx
Well done and well deserved (well mostly)
ReplyDeleteNot sure many people agree with "Sir Sadiq" or "Dame Emily", but yes - mostly worthy recipients. Jx
DeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSidiq Khan indeed.
Indeed. Even the messages broadcast all over his NYE fireworks were all cringeworthy leftie political statements. He just couldn't resist reducing everything to his level. Twat.
DeleteAnyway, enough of that - Happy New Year, Mitzi! Jx
