Look North!

Oh, yes, we're gonna be on the telly.

It's just like I dreamed it.

I rarely break promises and I did promise Mrs Emma Bearman some telly this year...nothing is definite in this game as you well know, but possibly tomorrow. Eek!

I will be wearing some stuff from Laila's boutique (it's what her main vocation is, sorting out my shit is obviously her form of self-torture. I prefer bikini waxes and visiting Wedding Fairs when recently single). Who do I think I am eh?!

Visit www.mobarak.co.uk for more info - she has a boutique in Rawdon too. She serves wine to nice people and has a sofa for fellas to sit on.

She can tell you herself what Mobarak means when you meet her - she's of Swedish/Iranian breeding and grew up in Singapore, born in Iran, calls Stockholm her spiritual home. Lovely lovely girl.

I've been a BIG fan of Look North for many many years as has my dear Mum. Getting on it has been a bit of an ambition since I was about eight or nine and asked Harry Gration's autograph (the only bit of paper I had about my person was a chewing gum wrapper, unused of course - I have limits).

Lots of lovely thanks to everyone at the BBC in Leeds for their continuing support. We've sold a number (don't know so won't make it up) of calendars since our slot on Andrew & Georgey's show this morning. And we've been harrassing various folk - back doors, side doors and eventually front doors - for several weeks now. Patience no, persistance yes. Leah has to take the prize this time though. An email went along the lines of "Still no I'm afraid Leah, but you're very persuasive. Ever thought of getting a job in PR?". Well done lass!

Glad it was radio this morning - actually fell asleep about 5am, woke without an alarm or cat stirring at 7.01am, and was due to be picking up Casey at 7.10am to allow plenty of time to get there, park, carry in the Mike's Carpets Cake etc. We got there just fine and by the time we got into the studio I did have my make-up on. Don't know how we did it, but we did!

MJ is a lovely security guy who works there. He thought we were taking the piss when we said it was "Clancy and Casey to talk about the Mike's Carpets Cake and the Charming Armley Cake Calendar". Sometimes we wonder if it's all in our heads too MJ!

There's a fine line between reality and fantasy I fear...
