The the tropical flowers were still just about in bloom when we were there think was the October Yes Dr it was your rock too but it was actually all right I said Yeah yeah and and then of course a few weeks later while watching War Of The Worlds and War of the worlds that being filmed at the beginning of the year when those tropical flowers were just out so they were in abundance and it was funny to still see the tail end of them yet when we were there in October it was great seeing only television on that because it's because I've got such a good relationship with everyone at the palm house. And seen on television and actually the one of the. Telescopes that they used in the film and they left it behind because it was a prop so it wasn't it wasn't a real telescope it was it was very well made but it was all made out of cardboard a metal and spray and things but they left it there so people were people sort of for ages horribly Well yeah that'll. Be I'm not being spirited away thinking as I get to say the baton things that I did so yeah nice little bit of t.v.

Know that all days I sat on my sleigh ballots actually Father Christmas around that's what you did Lee again yeah but you might have just testing the battery allowance like I'm going there because he didn't set off to say their children and told her safe area and of course with that the Santa tracker is one of the joys of technology isn't it that every child loves to see where sound to raise in the different time zones of the world. It's a really really and really really as. And don't fear but and say you've never been on a date and I know you're. Always brilliant to say so we'll catch up with more respect on the Strictly Come Dancing final in just a moment but of course there's only one math Jude Law lady who's listening in to her hospital bed hoping to be out soon we certainly hope by Christmas Eve which is Day June Carol yes. And we certainly hope that Mr Dave Loney is also free of the law by the time Christmas comes around that's going all out of the way this week and enjoy next week yes join me full songs for drive time weekday afternoons from 4 o'clock he's the host of t.v.

Love rugby league may and if you look at if that at all well I'm starting to feel a bit north and that strife with me Paul salt. Weeks from now on the Internet and a congratulations and get well soon to a lovely. Says Moira o.t. And Kelvin who were Jewish men were absolutely breathtaking in all their dances I thought Craig was harsh says Moira not awarding tens throughout his rumba was just gorgeous on his show downs really demonstrated all the skills he's developed over the last 3 months working with o.c. And o.t. Says Maura what an amazing professional dancer she's always been my favorite female professional because her choreography is always pushing boundaries and tone and Emma Cheryl's man and carry him and Amy Mike in Florida is man both performed well both Kelvin and o.c. Really where clear winners on the nice Anton and Emma while the showdown Suse's hairstyle I thought they seemed very separate I'm not like a couple dancing together they're Viennese Waltz however was beautiful and I think you agree or disagree with their Cheryl Yeah she's pretty nice here that they're waltz was beautiful she is one note that Moira has always thought was that what let Tom and Emma down was that they didn't seem any chemistry between the 2 that was Morris I think that past now t. Really I think I think that chemistry Zabol Yeah Anton a very laid back Yankee is not going to be demonstrative here now and. I think they were just very supercool of British nationals really in a fashion I personally didn't think it mattered about the cabin St never have been out of this well it's the steps is an extremely The artistry and it's and chemistry can be feigned anyway because I think count on them just. Our natural shooter themselves you know that just cool undelivered really what was required to carry him and Amy Mike in Florida is man top of the leaderboard So the judges loved but Moira wasn't convinced especially with their contemporary showdowns their Jive though it did bring the house down and have the judges on their feet so Moira says at the conclusion of the $29.00 team Strictly Come Dancing series she says All in all was one of the best strickly finals I've ever seen and it's not over yet as we have the Christmas strictly to come on Christmas day or so should be here on Friday to tell us more about what's happening on Christmas Day and the sparkles in the sequins put away yes or yes another year but it starts again for all new in February when they start booking the. People who are going to be doing the dancing because they've got a book or early Have you had to call yet and. Well think Sheryl's is more deserving of a part of a call since she has studied ballroom dancing Yes haven't you for me you know when I was tired need that gym today I came across the pictures of me in. My last in your constituency because you have a little I. Got some and I'm going to get them framed jeans and see if you'd have been as diligent or Shirley you could too could have been had judge on Strictly let me 8 to 10 as it should be. And Latin specialists like. Say the Shirley's more maids take a bar about how as well Shirley's moment is the back story is that too Shirley palaces success least so yes and you know not born with a silver spoon in their mouses are not actual diligent about very competitive you tell us in. From age 7 she was when you were all together in the St Chad's church and you know Chris very talented very early on and I'm almost you know she was a driving force she was making sure that used Sherri left home I my family to go and live with her fastball and I. I thought it was in Yorkshire. That I was a young girl as a young family that was a big thing to leave your family have a war and go and live or the get from family away from all your friends away from all your school that was a massive move big thing these moments you know allow absence as well but. Yeah so take a bow Shirley's mom yes absolutely she she deserves this mom sis. And Jeff on the taxi's says just wishing Stella Happy Birthday when it comes from her personal chauffeur Thank you Jack and do you want me to get the fire brigade on standby for when you light the candle so much how lovely it was how your how i thought we were friends knowing your personal chauffeur could get away with his day and you know he's just of course comes home to Bush yes. 21 on it at last I thought I was let out so I could. Get for you next time. Here's a tip Jeff don't mention other gal. Jest so of course. That is warmest wishes to you for your forthcoming birthday but that should be the 1st and last last time you mention what number you're reaching because you never get a jury to believe it anyway. Shall we I mean is it Ok to mention the brilliant idea you came up with us or do you want to keep that from do you sleep just so not at all we talking about me being quite upset about the leaflets to try to help these day yeah because everyone was saying to me Oh you got this free travel pass and you prescriptions will be free and you can walk a donkey download straight all of us and I sat at only half the travel the at the bus pass so nothing. Where millions of years ago you scrambles to the work to work read a book look out the window dilly dally all the rest of it so off I went to the Mercy travel shop in back and head in the bus station there was a young man on the other side of the of the glass and I said Ok I have one of those forms please that you get to fill out when you have a certain age and you get free bus travel and he said you're there love and I was looking around looking around said yes where I was saw this one he said he pointed and I looked and it said the older person's books past. As are you sure you said it was that he says is that one there is one to me that one there's a 000 sixty's old persons or Anyway it was at the lie and I said to him this is it I said Who are you sure you should say old person says well I don't write them so I said Ok but if he really was quite nice Let your man in the end but but then that got me thinking and I was he kind of it is I don't consider myself at 59 going on 60. My dad's an older person and he's 90 and I think this is the way that people who are now 40506070 whatever and I don't I thought older person that's mad so I started to try to think of some other names you could call a pass and the best one I've come up with is the Freedom Pass for the over sixty's I think freedom pass someone that's what next that's a great marketing idea the Freedom Pass for the oversea have to the stage or hurt to determine that it's not for the unions and the old whatever students or have you so that so I'm going to write to me as you travel now to write to the press office and as I do these things you know I run up and often never hear about but I think that's I think the missing a truck here will this time religion pass because I've been told I can get on. Get to witness market get to Southport Lord St Peter play me Cartwright I can get to West Kerry lake you know as all these places I'm going to have this new found freedom yellow which is going to keep us free in our you to me of Earth Yes Well yes so I think you might actually is nicer and also more. It's a more user friendly is a fan and also it's keeping up with changing attitudes and changing times isn't it you know Murdoch there is 60 no I don't expect daughter to walk in and ask for a little that has a lot of fast cars you know she's a real a rock chick that route and when you can see I mean I was watching a Rod Stewart concert which he done in Hyde Park and he's what is enough 76 God is he really is evil and isn't he tall doesn't he say some something like that anyway so and Marco wrote you know 77 and Jagger and and all of those so you know. Nearly 20 years older than your forthcoming birthday he's still you don't even expect them to be classified as old Apollo so it's just not of the rays which chimes well with more than with the time way of. Living longer you know you know for longer going to longer Yeah that's got to change things that I've never liked. Them I've never liked that word at all I just don't think it's respectful enough for people who've earned their stripes I think about you know to the Homer Sr whole new world of branding or marketing things that cookie dough it needs to catch the seeds that actually live I was able to reach all we're not sorry. But I'm going to write to Mercy travel because I think it's that passes there I think it is if it's not you may as you travel and. Sorry. I'll find out who to write to but I think you're probably finding this probably process won't be down to them Oh Ok wide their proper police. Will be a government Yeah yeah well I don't think that because they're on the doorstep yeah then I'll just get bigger and better and hire a wide range of quite rightly to pass free said Frank you know you just need to clear a diary those stocks and sit near the end when are you going to finish and then when I go to the rescue writing for you are your boys you know I just ask everybody in the room how are you doing John my diary. And I get you on The Boss. Can you travel am almost breath let them breath the country on your pass Well the reason I got on this is the result there is another type of pass I think but I don't know if it's available on the buses Yeah yeah I reckon another one that we can get here we can use that in London that I mean that you can take it to London a new 6 I thought you could use it in every region that uses buses because it was a couple of ladies few years ago and they started in Scotland on news that was passed through up to London. And because you're news and you know that quiet trip we're going to learn yet oh yeah asset awfully or not me. I'm now Jenny in Morton who's a seasoned traveller says Stella Have you read the form I think until you reach pension age you're only allowed to travel within Merz he travels area I don't think you can even get to Chester No Chester you can't that's why I didn't mention Chester Sadly you can't get to Chester but you can go to Southport and witness market must be Lake and all those other places because they're mostly transit area Havel's area yeah but that's all that is the question you're not getting around the rest of the country here although how do you know he told your community that life in London they flush that pass on the. Like you know like you know we do balloons with the yeast that they've used in London but I don't know why or how but they've used rice I think with the trial and I'm thinking possibly eventually Yes Ok I'm. Whatever I think you're the freedom to choose Yeah the next song I know would be. To out. My. Soul. And soul the. Lol. Wet Wet Wet love is all around so happy birthday in advance tell. Help yourself to sweets while selling left in the talk because I'm. Just a point of order if you will please just know that I was very well know it was one of my pet peeves. Is finding the littles of empty sweet wrappers by help. And yes. Yes exactly I didn't see a reminder that somebody has been holding the empty sweet wrappers back in the tub once again yes if. Nobody leaves this room. Until I get to the bottom of this. There's a very high and certain. There and they've gone straight back into the job this is you thought you were going to get a little galaxy right there and then Yes Yeah exactly there was only one galaxy and it is amongst the empty wrappers again is that kind of sick how about it yes yes to make you want to pass that as you have your lot I'm Sunny but nice to have it on the desk in front of me and it's not it's a tie because in my dressing that you are shouting that there were 3 I'm going to write that lightens go no. Oh my god are you just. Turns out to God. I wish you didn't go back to the land of the now how did yes and she looked at me with a light that as if I could do something with them and then she looked about how you could. She's probably. Only put them back in the know what I've noticed I mean one area I. Know is that you would be filled into thinking there was a kind of on and so this is all girl guided taking take your home to your extreme she really isn't it yes she didn't want to make a mess so she put the back in the tub in the tapir. Little is more disappointing than reaching into top of sweet drunker of your favorite glinting at you only to find. That I can see that nobody likes a strawberry cream to Nasreen do they know this one strawberry cream so I don't believe I have never believed that fruit fillings go with. That nice don't waste your space Ellie in the in the box I mean I like the orange I remember that possible exception Yeah family has passed away when I was 11 but I do remember that he used to when he when he had chocolate given to him he would poke them because you like soft ones. So if they were soft so. Chocolate there's a full of print. That was made of no get yes like yeah yeah the center of this is he was saying I didn't go through that many of the soft ones. Because I don't get where I overheard it but I overheard somebody say passing round some peanuts and the person said oh you know these are nice and they said all yeah it took it took granddad all day to soak the chocolate. I'm. Mrs Brown I think I mean. Now you see if he says Re Travel Pass it's also known as the twirly pass try to use it before. The boss driver says your to they don't start until 931 I have a 247 so I have no problem check you can use it on the train to Chester I've used my in London as style said but you can't use it in Wales so you need to check the leaflet as to when you can use it as zippy helpfully Bassim Crosby ventures further how about calling it an advanced kids pass or about your kids pass by the way it's now safe to turn on the show at any time not hear a reference to anything like Strictly well until the Oscars and your affection that I'm happy birthday in advance. It's very nice. To June as well our Christmas Eve baby and Sandra Christmas Day all. Jew and Smith and great Sankey who coincidentally went to school with Sandra says you can use your senior bus pass anywhere including London in England I go to London quite often I pay for an Oyster card which means I can travel on the underground but when I get on a bus I use my bus pass I went on the merging tunnel to our last year and was told that the excess is made on the tunnel provides for the citizens of Merseyside to use freely the ferries and trains as well as the buses Sadly I can't use this facility because I come to Cheshire. In great Sankey I am so grateful for my bus pass however as I go on the bus quite frequently to Wigan St Helens north which Chester Liverpool the Trafford Center freedom indeed freedom the freedom indeed thank you for the informations further than for me. Ations from Nance as far as I'm aware there are 2 free travel passes and national one for which you have to be pensionable age which is currently $67.00. The local warm issued by Mercy travel which you can get once your 60 they say you can use on both a Riva and Stagecoach buses mercy rail which could use to Southport Chester where all curvy and all you could also use it on the cross river ferries not the exploratory as the other passes the national wall which is available fantastic as you see on the trains on the ferries on the buses nuff to half were after half time you know $131.00 and what time just to be finished for seems feels about right and wrong well I. Actually am come back and work i'm so I think so why would it be rude not to close it. I was. Told. To. Use. B.b.c. Radio Massy site I have to say as well the level of low welcome when you listen and then I had the biggest crush on snidely when I was a kid right now about a man. I don't know you know now if I did. I used to have a shaken Stevens below under Tony Snow picture but I thought they were actually Elizabethan although I kissed them before bed so I was on the couch on which a few days I just got this thing about going to get it out the way Tony snout every weekday morning. The Late Show with Linda McMahon at a.b.c. Radio. So Colin says you can use the twirly boss past any time on the Saturday and Sunday there's no time you straight ahead yeah absolutely if you don't know this is the old sucks as I do news is all good you need to hear is all gluten mystical is also harmful so apart from a little tweak of the of the name by which it's known you'll be happy to be but make stream a hand will be a happy bunny I bet you are a happy body last night when the b.b.c. Sports Personality of the year went to Ben Stokes Yes and Rita and old yes through Absolutely absolutely but there was I was a little bit tight you know because I mean I have a great f. One fam. Ok You know so Louis has missed out before and you know and several great big Lewis Hamilton as well and love me a while. And then of course was the local vote for you know hot Scouser ladies well and all the rest of it but I think she'll go and Scott Thompson Yeah Catarina Johnson tops and she has time will come again I think because hopefully she'll do so so well in Tokyo she'll rebels that you know maybe she's for next year you know we have them I think cricket it was a good summer there I'm glad that it was celebrated and I was just trying to think why more members of the team were them in the cricket team here there was only 3 of them as it was a dream and I was thinking often when it's a team event you would like to see more members of the team must be all off on their They're all their lawlessness you Leyla brave when they're going off to you know to where the area they going to cut remember where they're going to use or yeah I'm just trying to think should know this but it was a great way and yeah Ben Stokes it really was he gave a fab speech at the end from the heart as well if not every minute of the hard problem itself out yes and in fact is delayed why he felt it out with us you know Gareth Thomas who came into the studio on the Quatro bike you here with Dame Kelly there that was quite a amazing feat that he did on 500 miles. Raised awareness and they raised a lot of money apparently last night please text message at the end to give to Sport Relief when particular to help with mental health. Has been very open about it about a year story tremendous It really was the whole thing the whole we were just talking about strictly the production values that go into that whether you're a dance fan or not you have to would mire the lighting the props the stage sets the work that goes into the hair and makeup the so. Dave arch and his orchestra you know it is it is a whole table full of talents isn't it the go into making something like that even if you're not a fan of the show or the dancing or whatever you have to appreciate the skill that goes into these things and the skill that went into producing that last night because you all remember sell we all do when b.b.c. Sports Personality of the year was just in the studio yes we were involved. In them etc appropriate presenting there was an invited studio falloff sporting gas but now of course it's $10000.00 seat arena as a loot I mean but it wasn't easy I mean Aberdeen last night out look spectacular it amazing and of course who's at the top of the tree percent ship at the other executive producer called all o.e.m. Cold or has started here at the side on a Saturday afternoon being paid a fiver to run between the studio this is an unusual sport departments with news you know as well as I do and I actually quickly said that our b.b.c. Radio Merseyside sports team is the best they're the benchmark and it is no wonder that for national expertise they come looking here hoping to poach our talent from our sports team because they're so knowledgeable so literally on the ball. There at the sharp end of off some of that we are just about the news the arrest sporting area in the whole of the new hating me so it's coming out as thick and fast and it doesn't matter what the sport is principally football here of course but the team are adept at the coverage of anything whether it's the British Open yet when it it was a Throughout the year and so many times. Would call Joran included He was the executive editor of b.b.c. Sports Personality of the year Gavin Buckland who for 28 years now has been the question set out with Dave Ball of the b.b.c. Radio most aside for B.B.C.'s Question of Sport. You know it's astonishing really the butt so I was delighted to see Coles they know you as being in charge after a very successful nice presented by Gary Gabby. And it did just tired to know they have to come up with different things don't they to entertain 10000 people in the arena as well as obviously principally the millions watching at home you turn on the millions of voters so the ultra bike coming into the studio was one thing the lifetime achievement award for Dame tourney great times and you know who's inspiration for anybody with a disability has been on ceasing and now she's in the House of Lords Baroness Turney great temps and so she was very emotional again story again like like you still looking younger than ever but she she's looking and she is each This is like time be gone but she looked 20 years just suddenly she looked amazing as an inspirational person and then Dotty who after her to say I'm don't know Wolf I didn't know until last night or just reading up a little bit about it while how you know how he was. With most votes and your oh yes here is a party there is he is Scottish this player who goes great turned up in tartan I mean it was the flattop so he pled to 42 sat and it's absolutely fantastic It isn't even as it was. It was stylish it was really star and that's quite obviously been in Aberdeen's quite a few people were in town in fact I was amazed that Princess Sam did not the chart loved all as well I thought she much joined in on that one as well. But Daddy we're . Disease now he has a beautiful family a gorgeous wife and 3 young boys as well looked as if they were in their teens. Since he found out that he was ill with the most and you're into C's 3 year 49 there are only 49 year he has. A foot I mean the man is a girl Liath easy so enormous isn't it you must be 6 foot 6 or 8 and he was in the home rather than a ward and Helen Roloson was the b.b.c. News reader who battled cancer with great fortitude about 10 years ago would it be essence is. Over now you know it isn't I think it's actually you'll be surprised by this they said last night I'm sure they said 20 years Oh now your years. I said to Martin just say 20 years surely not when the mentor you listen to didn't so we will have a lot about very very sad 20 years I'm sure they did I mean do I think it's going well her name lives on in this award given to similarly in inspirational and courageous people. He's fighting Yes and he was no cure of the moment but he's doing what he can to raise the profile dadi we're. You know good luck to him and long may continue and hopefully a huge order snotty still being firm yes not in that there's a way he's tall but yes he's so outgoing is that you can see how you get water temperature water and other crustal Thomas mentioned as well yes I love building holding on or near the home was listening to her and I was going to feel that these are just a couple of easily you know when it was asked as well for her to spree so I thought it was a tremendous evening. It really was You're I'll have to think it's something every year they've got to think of something else how creative can we be this time gotta be different what can we do something this difference what the staging the lighting and I get an l.c.d. Or so and they do a brilliant job every year don't know I was there working on it from the sonar they sort of thought they do I mean Karl is involved it's Sport Relief and all those other sporting events but I think I think it's a 5 month job as I think he's been a pin I believe for quite a few months as well you know just so there's an awful lot that goes into it and I love it it's gone in the blink of an eye but what's a blink of an eye blink talk about blink when are 9th of August 1999 so says the 20 years Exactly yes. They went ahead 20 years amazing Well they're you know they're they are amazing people all of them just to be amongst the 8 nominees last night who was out of all the outstanding sports people in our country you know just to be to get to 8 on the 8 is Amazing Grace and they're all doing it inspirational things and the Hero award to a lovely man who'd been beaten up very very very badly when he was a young man and he turned that into a positive you recover to miraculously and turned it into a positive and he set up or a sporting youth club but with the emphasis on sports to divert vulnerable young people from going down the wrong road and instead instilling a discipline a pride a sense of achievement and ambition to be the best that they can in whatever sport it is whether it's boxing or running or whatever it was so quite overwhelmed wasn't a he was only whilst still managed to get a wonderful a speech out yes it did thanks their mom don't look quite right is going to mention it I know you said it all starts with the more I knew it out after lately here. Problem. Over Carly Simon your so very bus in cross in the cross b. Says the bartender said we don't serve time travelers. To Time Travelers walked into a bar. Oh yeah I think I think I. Think it. Might bear repeating. The bartender said we don't serve time travelers to time travellers walked into a book. That probably said thank you by us time for the tablets thank you and. Our bill from Aintree says the Boss pass known as twirly is which we are always grateful for no need to complain about or we all might turn into victim Baldrick.
