BEN’S BLOG: ‘Please stop using the ‘C’ word!’

[dropcap]B[/dropcap]log, was that you I heard there? Yes, it was. And stop lying, will you, please. NOBODY is to use the ‘C’ word now, for at least, the next six months.

I hold my hands up, a beaten man. This year’s festival was our worst ever and simply everything we laid won. Down nearly a million overall, and setting a New WR of losing over £300k on Ivanovic Gorbachov, my nose is well and truly bloody. But there you go. That’s all in the past. Today is a new day, and on we march.

I take this opportunity though, to say a huge ‘Thank You’, to all of The Star Army, for their relentless work and great attitude, during the run-up to, and also for the week itself.

‎There are no special mentions. Quite literally, across the board, everybody produced the goods. THANK YOU..!

Anyway,‎ enough of all of that moaning. We all know what the real downer of the week has been, don’t we? Paul Daniels. Oh dear, oh dear, my Blog. Why do all the good guys keep falling? How heartbreaking to lose such an old-fashioned, charismatic, charming, classic and funny, true Brit eccentric and gentleman entertainer.

My favourite PD story, is of when he was doing some work in the garden and accidentally chopped the ends of his fingers off. Such a professional he was though, rather than disturb his wife, Debbie, who was doing a radio show in her own right, he collected them up, and drove himself to A and E. THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

 

Over and out, B x
