Brassed Off (1996)- Danny's speech



Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope.

RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

So be it - and indeed, RIP PP.

Shoes? I have so many pairs that I do not wear; used to, loved pretty ones, but now a) arthritis and b) walking down our rural orchard everyday to feed the hens, and visiting farm and garden shows, gumboots are easier! Though I do have some pretty ones for Press Days when I have to work in the rain.

Ann - well said

Pearl - how fab that you got to meet Pete, apparently Steven Speilberg considered Pete to be one of the greatest actors ever.

I love Pete, such a shame he went so early.

I'm ashamed to say I've never watched this film because I refuse to watch something half way through. A few of my friends are in it too! I recorded it recently and must get round to watching it xx

I always spent my half an hour to read this webpage's articles everyday along with a mug of coffee.

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.

Reasons to be cheerful

  Here's some cupcakes I made earlier So this morning wasn't a great start to my week, this weather is just awful and my car (or the Valentine Limo as I like to call it, due to the fact only I and my husband can drive in my immediate family, therefore the 'limo' is called upon to perform various duties - moving house, transporting children or pets, shopping trips . . .) is knackered.  Its booked in at the mechanics on Wednesday but its not looking promising.  Sadly the older the car is, the more it costs to run.  I sometimes feel like I'm driving the Toyota equivalent of a Hummer with the amount of petrol the car seems to guzzle! So what has brightened up my day?  Well to start with, I have won my first giveaway from fellow Blogger Primp and Preen . I can't wait for my parcel to arrive! I'm going to have to think long and hard about doing my own giveaway - maybe something shoe inspired or possibly a Blackpool-themed giveaway with some Blackpool rock p...

When shopping can get personal

I can't believe that we are over a third of the way through 2010! I've been married for over a year now and I've been reminiscing about that time recently. I didn't go down the traditional white wedding dress route - ever since I was a young girl, I'd never had that dream that I'd walk down the aisle in beautiful gown (this doesn't mean I'm anti-wedding gown, it just isn't me). The thing is, less than six months before our trip to Vegas, I really had no idea what I was going to wear. Blackpool has an ongoing regeneration project and a key part of this was a brand new shopping centre* with Debenhams the centrepiece. I decided to take advantage of their free personal shopper service and with my limited budget thought there was a slight chance of finding something suitable. I took my Marc Jacob shoes along to the appointment to see if I could find a dress to match my favourite shoes. I'd never done this before so didn't know what to expect, but...
