Through the dark And there were more. That pink and a 1000000 Dreams Gary took us with Me Good morning to you and I mourn and all you all sorted for the big day while the T.V. Guide. I knew I was walking into a trap mind you saying that I don't tend to watch any television on Chris Sligh for Corey I don't watch any Christmas television you know I know I want I watch the Corrie and then I've got myself half a dozen horror T.V. Days it's a choice to tradition where it's very I will have a day however I shut the curtains and worst people say Happy Holidays I go happy Hora day. Well I mean there was a tradition wasn't there of a ghost story for Christmas yeah the man in black and all of that but I want to get more gruesome up yeah as I watch I don't like horror stories the best as I don't know no I don't I don't watch a lot so I mean I was going to go by the T.V. Guide today to see what I want to watch. Started and I determined to get into she starts now she does lots of catchup stuff and stream stuff and I think they are stream I don't want to do that I think I watch too much anyway and I want to just not get into watching stuff. I'm a big big Netflix or an Amazon Prime person and really now T.V. I've got all of those Yeah so I just I tend to stream what I want to watch when I want to watch it so that's most often as the way it's going really and probably is what I'm usually a few years behind the curve about you know it's not just eventual. Eventually So presents you have to buy for anyone what an art I never buy from my dad. Before ours are said years ago to friends and family nothing from the nothing for you know cards and it just worked well no it doesn't work for everybody it works for me so I have a stress free Christmas I don't have to go into town to do any shopping I don't have a Christmas meal and it's you know people go oh you know oh you must you must hate that not good no I love it. Well I don't have many people to buy for I'm lucky but Lynne is always the most difficult one not because she's. A difficult person but because she's got most things that you don't want a lot but anyway when we were on holiday. She lost her. Watch one day and we were around the pool in the hotel and we had a bit of a disturbed day because we kept getting visited by Guam as you know these 2 for our Yeah that they're not threatening but when they sneak over and you're on a so. It's not like I have a dog just trotted up to. Me I'm reading a book and a look at them as a dragon looking at me as a little mini drug so we have a bit of distance we run away a couple of not run away but moved away a couple of times just in case and later on we discovered that Linda never watch and we went back and we or everywhere we'd sat and she'd gone through all the bags and everything and you know I'd given a hand with some of the stuff and then we have been hand in hand with it right that it's gone it's not an expensive watch it's not a new one so at least I want to get a Christmas because this was just the very back end of November so we get back and she needs a watch such fine so you know and also there's no point buying a watch for someone if they're not with you so we went and we bought the watch and she's been wearing ever since Thursday night goes to Hamburg the last. It is time for the Bain family and you're on your way to the are you on the wife Mr or Mrs B. Well I'll take that I wouldn't say it's a. I just think how could not possibly be you know she'd been through it's what she said forensically when we were actually away you know I mean the thing is easy and the thing is I mean he's happy with a new watch or what have you just typical isn't it you know but on the other hand which is always Kate won for best. The best watch. So anyway I thought that was that was my so I thought great you know something she needed it turns out she didn't need it after all so if you want to go shopping again or not Donda. Food no more something else something else as well just so many small and I'm not saying how small pretty small. Yes So it's not the smaller things the most expensive and when we got engaged we would look at the gauge rings and she said That's nice I thought I book. I think she was doing the thing that P.R. People do that. They show you the worst possible scenario and it was nothing like that to be honest with you but it came out the girls were anyway and for me it's time for enough of you know. B.B.C. Radio. With Gary thank Sandy still very quiet out there on the road however that probably will change later on as pay for setting off for their Christmas holidays to see the family and everything the only thing really taking place today events was as a race meet and Haydock later on to type one or much like trucks of the great strike there at 954 this morning for the 1st race takes place a level 50 and the last race will be at $315.00 this afternoon so there will be extra traffic around the air with there especially around the lodge line and Warrington roads if you're around the Haydock area lights right it will be a little bit busy for you but everything else is looking pretty good at the moment if you see anything though out about that you should be like it is now about what we can tell you. Give us a call it is safe and legal it's I 151-714-0953 B.B.C. Radio Merseyside trouble. Join B.B.C.

Mentor working down under after which you've guessed it 20 past 8 on a Saturday it means we'll be walking the paths in times. Past . This train is late. News. Going to. Follow follow. Follow follow follow. Follow. Follow. Follow. Follow. Follow. Follow follow. Follow. Up. Through. Steven the. Down here on the waterfront when you talk about talking about the. Look at the museum a little pool which is a new building comparatively new when you compared to all the others around about opened in 2000. And it's very quickly become an iconic building in Liverpool it's a very striking building everybody I hope who's listening will know this building with a huge picture windows massive massive windows on either end and this all belong in the white stone which when you have a see. Little Fool see MEST it's disappeared into the mist very well full. It's structure now open as a safe for for several years and we can talk about passing time calmly and about the artifacts and things which you will say from a my favorite bits of this museum which of course is I think is the only national museum in Britain devoted to a regional city is that it you know that all sorts of different aspects to our great city I like cos the local history section the some lovely little nuggets of information I was looking in there the other day and there was the last. Scene on the side it was in bits to an $870.00 and what a beautiful specimen because the Victorians stuffed it in it's on display that would have been found you know not only around bits to sell the little bits as well this they wouldn't door frames from Bolivia told hole it which is a ruin I know very well near Mikel and then the other better I like is the transport section you know the overhead railway which I remember going on as a child and the lion you know the locomotive everyone will have a favorite part of the Museum of little people I remember the day because in those days of course I was working with the museums I was a spokesman for the museums in little ball this was one of the venues which I would write press releases about and over the years and that sort of thing and I can remember it was in July 2011 I stood by the main entrance many leading live apartments and others associated with the city came to that day a member Yoko Ono coming from Cape she came as well it continues to pull in the crowds it's very very popular as you can see today the people milling around the children and everyone packing into the building there's lots of space in there and this leads me on for the next few weeks if I may talk about what we're going to do we're going to have a look at the cabinet of curiosities now people my. Wonder what's he talking about it's things from my collection they're not particularly valuable or anything else but they have great resonance so just for a change is a break from the past and time I thought we could have a look at the cabinet of curiosities for several weeks you know we'll be looking at things like battles ephemera Now that's like sort of paperwork it's all connected to Liverpool this or Merseyside I should say and souvenirs of events and things which we've covered in the past and time over the years I hope the listeners will find that instructive and I hope they find it interesting some of the things which I've got in my collection and which sorta wheedle out some of the great stories of the Liverpool area back to the museum reply I remember very well that David it opened because it was on the the same day that the royal live building celebrated its sente and I can also tell you that through my connections with all nature watchers that there have been authors spotted down near Phyllis ferry more recently so perhaps that may have been the the last for a while the possibility side. Fully worth it that's a good sign and I hope they're coming back you know because they're very hard some creatures of only ever see one that's a good scientist into the world of us in the water's getting cleaner it is indeed and of course as it is so close to Christmas Stephen I'm sure you want to join us and wishing everyone all the very best yes a very Merry Christmas to you all.
