I too love the Antiques Roadshow and avidly watch it, not just for the valuations and a chance to check Michael out, but also for the remote possibility that one of the experts might drop something and smash it. <BR/><BR/>What fun could be had giving a spoof insurance valuation of, say, £25,000 and then "accidentally" knocking a lump out of said item on TV. It would be more popular than Big Brother, evil but amusing don't you think?<BR/><BR/>And have you noticed the close-up state of the experts' nails sometimes? Maybe Revlon needs to sponsor the next series.Swearing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277450057243928790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-52177216100218442982007-07-13T13:42:00.000+01:002007-07-13T13:42:00.000+01:00If I had known you were meeting the 'great man' wi...If I had known you were meeting the 'great man' wifey I would have asked you to demand to know why he never played the Blue Peter Lesley Judd Dolls House clip I asked for on 'Ask Aspel' in 1977 and showed the John F***G Noakes and Shep abseiling of Niagra Falls dressed as a pantomime horse excerpt for the three hundreth time instead, the bastard, sobrilly superhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448694078653341955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-38407455411919758562007-07-13T13:02:00.000+01:002007-07-13T13:02:00.000+01:00Perhaps Michael Aspel should have asked for your a...Perhaps Michael Aspel should have asked for your autograph in return? He is rather dishy for his age isn't he?<BR/><BR/>I recently attended a 'fire sale' at the house of a friend who is moving to a modern house made almost entirely of glass. Thinking I had aquired a bargain, I bought a very pretty Arts and Crafts chair for £50, hoping it would cost about the same to restore. The Chair Doctor - yes, really - had other ideas and wants nearly £200 to do the job. Oh well, in for a penny, but would I have bought it for £250. Maybe, maybe not. It's a very nice chair though.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588437065757203375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-53200450530540091662007-07-13T12:09:00.000+01:002007-07-13T12:09:00.000+01:00Sad mare that I am, I loved those closing credits ...Sad mare that I am, I loved those closing credits with the open-top 2CV winding down the hill, for all the world like a dinky toy with a too large burden, threatening to topple it over. Even so, I don't think I would have rewarded your no doubt lovely brother-in-law with a flash of my breasts. I would have just flashed at him with the roundy headlamps from my own cherry red 2CV.Mopsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912659592484055741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-54740199541756333102007-07-12T21:58:00.000+01:002007-07-12T21:58:00.000+01:00Great post, heh heh.I love it when everyday folks ...Great post, heh heh.<BR/><BR/>I love it when everyday folks find a gem, but I love it even more when well to do ladies and gents who you can see trying not to breathe the same air as other people around them, are told that the rare vase that they paid around £800 for twenty five years ago, is actually only worth £40 as it is completely out of fashion, or a fake.<BR/><BR/>Oh how I laugh.<BR/>(I'm not a mean person usually, honest.)Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-90849086341989841322007-07-12T17:27:00.000+01:002007-07-12T17:27:00.000+01:00Dear Wifey, You see ...'every cloud has a silver l...Dear Wifey, You see ...'every cloud has a silver lining' - if all had gone to plan you'd have been busy searching boxes for the teapot.

Instead of a lovely castle, ours is filmed in an auditorium or gymnasium or some such thing that is usually less than 20 years old. My favorite part is when someone has a really wonderful object and have no real idea about it. The look on their face is always priceless.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655321325607087357noreply@blogger.com
