For better or worse, that's me ;)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3428477.post-85576474292053038072009-09-13T12:41:27.427+01:002009-09-13T12:41:27.427+01:00Thought you'd turned French for a moment.Thought you'd turned French for a moment.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3428477.post-63702085499075881622009-09-13T01:01:55.785+01:002009-09-13T01:01:55.785+01:00Have to admit the Nelson bit was a very good idea ...Have to admit the Nelson bit was a very good idea and she pulled it off. <br /><br />The whole event does seem to have gone way beyond the united kingdom and seems to have become a very international affair indeed.<br /><br />There were as many tourists (mainly German, Scandinavians and Italian by the sounds of things) in Glasgow Green tonight as there was Scots.<br /><br />PS Prosecco and chocs sounds like a bloody good night in Bill! - enjoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3428477.post-5180116340290188492009-09-13T00:23:02.402+01:002009-09-13T00:23:02.402+01:00She was good, wasn't she! :) I guarantee the f...She was good, wasn't she! :) I guarantee the flag was deliberately 'upside-down' just to provide a talking-point - lol ...<br /><br />I particularly enjoy seeing the different flags being brandished in the hall - it's become a celebration not just of 'Britishness', but of the true spirit of what 'Jerusalem' is all about; the striving for a better world for all. Sorry to get all 'maudlin' an sentimental - Prosecco and Belgian Chocolate 'poisoning' does that to one - hic!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3428477.post-26824930001843533582009-09-13T00:08:27.817+01:002009-09-13T00:08:27.817+01:00I loved Sarah Connolly's Nelson garb.

I missed the fantasia on Sea Songs too but the Handel made up for that.<br /><br />Glad you had a good night.Blognor Regishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270795049477192100noreply@blogger.com
