Toonpack 15566 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Fucking knackered, just spent 3 hours this afternoon with my brother filming interview and stuff with BBC Scotland about my great uncle, going to be a documentary about his remains/discovery evidently. They'll share it with Look North supposedly and they tipped me off Dig for Britain may be doing an episode as well, so they may be wanting to film with us too. Crikey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 6690 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Daughter 1 getting married in 12 days. Been working on a FOTB speech for 3 months and still nothing I like. Fucking dreading it. Suggestions welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been working on a FOTB speech for 3 months and still nothing I like. Fucking dreading it. Suggestions welcomed Use ChatGPT. Put follow Hannah Fry's advice when you give it the prompt. Tell it it's a world class comedy speech writer and then tell it a bunch of stuff about your daughter and the groom, and get it to spit out a 3 minute speech. (or however long you want it to go). It'll at least give you a good starting point. Edited July 23 by Gemmill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extending Lens hospital in 2020 Several sets of remains found, MoD investigators obviously knew the names of the missing and one was found along with 2 buttons from Newcastle tramways, which was strange for a Scottish regiment, that established a link to the north east and through the generations of the family to me. Great grandfather, when he retired from the army (career soldier and eventually RSM Northumberland Fusileers) became chief inspector of Newcastle tramways and we assume gave Gordon the buttons for luck. DNA confirmed it's Gordon and as we have all his letters from the front and coincidence of the buttons there's a story to be told. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had us (and all the other couples in the room) face each other and take each others hands, look into one anothers eyes.
